Blind applying is how people burn out and call the market broken. This module shows you where to look, what to search, and what to ignore.
The best remote sales roles usually are not hiding on page eight of Indeed.
Most people who are new to this world open Indeed or Google "remote sales jobs" and start clicking apply. Some of those postings are fine. But the best entry-level B2B sales roles — at companies that actually invest in training and pay well — live primarily on LinkedIn Jobs and company career pages.
Knowing where to look is step one. Knowing what to look for is step two. This module covers both.
LinkedIn Jobs — Your Primary Source
This is where the majority of remote B2B sales hiring happens. Recruiters post here. Companies post here. And your profile — which you just optimized — makes applying a one-click process once it's set up.
How to search on LinkedIn Jobs:
RepVue — Research Before You Apply
RepVue is like Glassdoor, but specifically for sales roles. Real sales reps review their companies including quota attainment rates, comp accuracy, and culture. Before you apply anywhere, look it up on RepVue. It takes 2 minutes and tells you things no job posting will.
What to look for on RepVue:
Company Career Pages — Direct is Underrated
Many companies don't post every opening on LinkedIn. They post directly on their own careers page. If you're interested in a specific company, go directly to their site, find the careers or jobs section, and search for sales roles.
Tip: This approach also gives you talking points for your cover letter or application — "I found this role directly on your site because I specifically sought out [Company Name]" signals intent and interest that generic applicants don't show.
Glassdoor — Salary and Culture Research
Before your first interview, look up the company on Glassdoor. Read recent reviews (within the last 12 months — older reviews may not reflect current leadership). Pay attention to what former employees say about management, training, and whether the company is honest about comp.
Use this for research, not as the final word. One bad review doesn't mean avoid — look for patterns across multiple reviewers.
A job posting is itself a sales document — the company is selling the role to you. Learn to read what they're actually saying (and what they're not saying).
What to look for in every posting:
✅ Green flags — signs of a solid opportunity:
🚩 Red flags — approach with caution or pass:
If you meet 60–70% of the listed requirements, apply. Do not wait until you meet 100%. That moment will never come, and the research consistently shows that men apply at 60% while women wait until they feel 100% ready.
Requirements lists in job postings are wishlists, not contracts. Hiring managers expect candidates to be trainable on the pieces they don't have yet. What they're actually filtering for is communication, coachability, and a track record of getting things done.
You have those. Apply.
Job searching without a system leads to burnout and inconsistency. Here's a framework that keeps you moving without overwhelming you.
5
Applications per week
Minimum. Each application should be reviewed individually — don't mass apply. Spend 10–15 minutes personalizing each one.
2
Research sessions per week
Look up companies before you apply. 5 minutes on RepVue and Glassdoor per company tells you a lot before you invest time in the process.
1
Follow-up for every application
5–7 days after applying, send a brief LinkedIn message to the recruiter or hiring manager. You're demonstrating the exact follow-up skill they're hiring for.
