How our program works
1. Build industry skills
Our cohort-based program consists of eight 2-hour, live, virtual sessions over three weeks, training key SDR skills such as prospecting, cold calling, written outreach and discovery calls.
Learn from our instructor who trains entry level reps in his day job and other managers from partner companies such as HiBob, Eftsure, Shippit and Deel.
2. Personalised 1:1 job search coaching
Alongside introductions to our partner companies, you’ll receive weekly 1:1 job coaching until you accept a tech or sales job.
Receive high-touch feedback on your resume, LinkedIn and interview technique. Book in additional times to practice your assessments during your interviews.
3. Post-hire support
Starting a junior tech sales role is lonely. There’s no grad program to meet and share tips with other SDRs & it’s hard to carve out the time to build relationships with others in the space.
We’ve created an exclusive, and free alumni community designed to help you connect with new SDRs (other alumni!) and successful AEs in the Aussie tech sales space.
Meet your instructors
Nick Pringle and Reuben George are currently SDR managers at impact.com and Crowdstrike respectively.
Coming from hospitality and engineering backgrounds, they both got their start in tech as SDRs (where you’re heading!) and had successful tenures, having stayed in the space for the last 8 years.
Today, their day-to-day roles are focused on hiring SDRs for their companies and setting them up for success.
They bring their own personal stories and modern training techniques into the sessions.
*Each Earlywork Academy cohort has one lead instructor. As such, Nick and Reuben alternate in ownership.

Earlywork Academy runs a three-week intensive program that has nine sessions. These are held between Monday-Wednesday during the 7-9PM evening slot AEDT.
Beyond this, you will have weekly sessions with your career coach who will work with you to maximise your chances of landing a role as soon as possible.
In order to best ensure job search success in the Earlywork Academy, it is expected that you attend all sessions. If you can't make a certain session, please let the team know ahead of time, as we tailor session formats based on the number of attendees.
There will be session recordings available for you to catch up on the content. Note that each session builds on the last, so it's vital that you do so in the event you miss an event.
Yes, all sessions are recorded so you can review and watch them later. However, to maximise your opportunities to get tailored feedback and practice on core sales & job search skills, we strongly recommend that you participate in all sessions live.
Earlywork Academy’s first program is specifically focused on tech sales. However, we intend to launch programs for other non-technical roles in future. If there’s a program you’d like to see, contact us!
