Tech sales can be a challenging game, no matter where you are in your career. Maybe you’re the first sales hire at a startup, figuring out everything on your own. Or you could be part of a larger team, but everyone’s laser-focused on their own quotas, making it hard to get advice when you need it.
In both cases, having a community to lean on can make all the difference. Sales communities allow you to connect, learn, and grow with others who understand your challenges.
Here are seven communities that can help you up your tech sales game.
Why Tech Sales Pros Should Join Sales Communities
On average, it takes eight touches to get a meeting with a new prospect. Still, the contract might fall through even when you’re 99% sure it’s a done deal. Sales cycles can be rough.
You need more practice to improve, but opportunities are limited. Sales communities offer the perfect place to hone your skills and grow your network.
Joining a sales community can help you in many ways:
- Grow your network
- Acquire knowledge from experienced salespeople in your industry
- Get into the minds of your potential prospects
- Practice your sales skills and learn about new sales tools
- Get unfiltered advice from people who faced the same challenges as you
- Find new opportunities to grow your career.
So, how do you find the sales community that’s right for you? With so many out there, each focusing on something different, it can be tricky. Don’t worry, though—we’ve compiled a list of the top seven to help you find the perfect fit!

How to Maximize the Benefits of Being in a Sales Community
You Get What You Put In
Don’t expect that simply joining a sales community will turn your world upside down. After you join sales associations, it’s mostly up to you to extract value from them.
Be active, approach other community members, participate in events, join discussions, and be positive.
Give More Than You Take
Never join a sales community only to promote your product or content. It’s selfish, and most communities will simply remove you for it.
Focus on giving value. Answer other people’s questions and be helpful.
Don’t Lock Yourself In
The great thing about having a tech sales career is that there are many communities out there that you can join.
If you’ve tried your best but you’re just not enjoying a specific community, quit and look for a different one.
Challenge, But Nicely
Share opposing views if you disagree with someone, but do so constructively and courteously.
Picking the Perfect Sales Community for Your Tech Career
Do you feel like you're learning, meeting new people, and actually enjoying interacting with other community members? If so, you’ve found the perfect sales community!
If you’re joining a community for the first time, don’t jump straight into the most premium memberships. Start with free communities. When you're ready for a premium experience and have the budget, find a paid community that fits your specific career path.
It’s a Wrap
Finding like-minded people to talk shop with and learn from can be difficult.
Seek out a great sales community where you can share insights and exchange experiences with others.
