Entry-level (BDR/SDR)
$85K–$110KAt quota
Base salary of $55K–$70K, plus commission for hitting meeting or pipeline targets. Reps who hit quota generally land in this range. No degree required. No prior sales experience required.
For capable women stuck under $70K (no degree required)
How women with zero sales experience can land $85K–$110K B2B roles (no degree, no coding, no “high-ticket closing”)
B2B sales is one of the highest-paid non-technical career paths, and it still hires people with zero experience every week. In one free hour I’ll show you which role to target, how to get recruited instead of applying, and exactly what to do in your first 90 days, from someone who hired, trained and promoted hundreds of reps.

Proof from the hiring side
The women Annie hired built real careers in sales.
Before Women Sales Academy, Annie’s job was hiring, coaching and promoting B2B sales reps. These women worked under her. Real titles. Real companies. Not a group chat.

Why you’re underpaid (and it’s not you)
You’re not underpaid because you’re underqualified. You’re underpaid because you’re in the wrong room.
There’s a category of job in this country that pays six figures, requires no degree, no coding, and no personal brand. It hires people with zero prior experience every single week.
It’s B2B sales. Selling software and services to other businesses. It is one of the highest-paid non-technical career paths in the U.S. market.
The reason you’ve never seriously considered it isn’t that you couldn’t do it. It’s that nobody told you it was an option. These jobs don’t get posted on career-day boards. They get filled through referrals, through recruiters, and through people who already know how the room works.
I spent 12 years inside that room. I started cold calling as an entry-level rep and became the top-ranked rep on every team I joined. Then I spent years on the other side of the table, hiring, training and promoting the reps who got in. Some of the best people I hired had zero sales experience: teachers, servers, retail managers.
I know exactly what hiring managers screen for, because I was the hiring manager. That’s what I’m teaching on Tuesday. I call it the Recruit-Not-Apply path: get seen by the people who hire, instead of disappearing into the online application pile.
Read this before you register
This is a career. Not a side hustle.
If you’ve seen ads for “high-ticket closing” or commission-only work taking calls for online coaches, pause. That’s a different thing, and I want to be direct about the difference before you give me an hour of your Tuesday.
| Commission-only “closing” | B2B sales (what I teach) |
|---|---|
| No base salary. You eat what you kill | Base salary plus uncapped commission |
| No benefits, no PTO, 1099 | Health insurance, 401k, PTO, often equity |
| Selling courses for online coaches | Selling software and services to real companies |
| No career ladder | Entry rep → closer → enterprise closer → manager → VP |
| Résumé value: hard to explain | Résumé value: compounds for the rest of your career |
| Income disappears when the coach’s funnel dries up | Business buyers, often with multi-year contracts |
Both can make money. Only one of them still pays you in ten years.
Earning potential
How $85K–$110K in year one actually gets built
Nobody should take a career claim at face value. Here’s the arithmetic instead of the promise. One word first: quota is simply the sales target you’re expected to hit. Hit it and you earn the commission below.
Closing role (AE)
$160K+At 100% of quota
Typical structure is a 50/50 split: roughly $80K base and $80K in commission at 100% of quota. That is where this figure comes from. Beat quota and you can earn well above it, because commission is uncapped.
I have managed multiple AEs who earned $300K+ in a single year because they finished above 200% of quota. That is not the baseline. It is what the upside can look like when the right rep is in the right company, territory, and role.
Enterprise
$400K–$1M+In a strong year
At the top of the market, enterprise reps selling seven-figure contracts clear this range. These are the rooms I’ll show you how to get recruited into.
Ranges reflect the U.S. B2B technology market and vary by company, territory, and individual performance. These are not projections of your results. See the full earnings disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
These ranges are the market, not a promise of your results. Tuesday is about how the path works so you can decide if you want it.
The women who succeed at this come from everywhere, including paths that look nothing like “sales.”
Members come from these backgrounds: Teaching, Nursing, Retail management, Hospitality, Real estate, Recruiting, Customer service, Marketing, Fitness coaching, Restaurant serving, Retail sales, Administrative work, Stay-at-home mom returning to work, Recent grad, Career pivot at 40, Non-profit, Cosmetology, Bartending, Flight attendant, Insurance, Property management, HR.
If you can hold a conversation, handle a no, and follow a process, you have the raw material. Everything else is trainable. That’s literally what Tuesday is for.
Free live masterclass
Sixty minutes. Four things you can use the same week: mechanics, not “mindset.”
- 01
What B2B sales actually is, and which role to target first
The difference between BDR, SDR, AE and enterprise: what each one pays, what each one does all day, and exactly which door you should be knocking on based on where you are today.
- 02
How to get recruited instead of applying (the Recruit-Not-Apply approach)
Why the online application pile is the worst way in, and the specific approach that puts you in front of hiring managers directly. This is the same approach I watched work from the hiring side for over a decade.
- 03
How to pass the interview with zero sales experience
The exact things I screened for when I hired reps, and the three mistakes that got candidates cut in the first five minutes. Most people fail here for reasons that are completely fixable.
- 04
Your first 90 days, mapped
What to do in week one, month one and quarter one to become the rep who gets kept, promoted and paid, instead of the one who washes out at month four.
No pitch-fest. No “manifest your millionaire mindset.” One hour of the actual mechanics, from someone who’s sat on both sides of the hiring table.

Your instructor
Hi, I’m Annie Mewborn
I teach women how to break into B2B sales the way hiring managers actually hire, because I was one.
Twelve years ago I started cold calling as a BDR. I was not a natural. I was terrified of the phone and I had no idea what I was doing.
What I did have was a process I refused to abandon. I became the top-ranked SDR on my team. Then I became the top-ranked AE. After closing the largest deal in LeadIQ history, I moved into leadership. I became the top-ranked manager at LeadIQ, then the top-ranked manager at Attentive, where I was promoted into second line leadership overseeing multiple teams. That meant my job stopped being about my own numbers and started being about how many other people I could get there.
That turned out to be the part I loved. I’ve hired reps with no experience and watched them clear six figures inside a year. I’ve promoted women into leadership who a year earlier were convinced they weren’t “sales people.” I’ve sat in hundreds of interviews and seen exactly which candidates make it through and why.
The women who got in were almost never the “most qualified.” They were the ones who found out the job existed and knew how to approach it. That’s an information gap, not a talent gap. And it’s fixable.
I built most of this with two kids under four. That isn’t a hardship story, it’s the practical case for the job: these roles are overwhelmingly remote, you’re measured on results rather than hours in a chair, and the pay doesn’t ask you to choose between the two.
Women Sales Academy is me closing that gap: the skill, the interview, and the introductions. Tuesday’s class is the free first hour of that playbook.
What her reps say
She didn’t just manage them. She made them better sellers.
LinkedIn recommendations from reps she trained, a colleague who sold beside her, and the CEO she reported to.
“Annie understands what it takes to build successful salespeople because she has done the job at every level. At LeadIQ, she combined a top performer’s instincts with a leader’s ability to turn those instincts into a system other reps could learn and execute.”
Mei SiauwCEO @ LeadIQAnnie reported to her “Annie taught me that succeeding in sales isn’t about having the ‘right’ personality—it’s about learning the right process. She made the work feel clear, coachable, and repeatable, and helped me build confidence through real results.”
Haley JordahlReported to Annie “Annie didn’t just tell me to make more calls or work harder. She showed me how to choose the right accounts, improve my conversations, and understand why deals moved forward. The way I sell today was shaped by her coaching.”
Caroline DonahueReported to Annie “Annie was always the hardest working person in our office. The SDRs were held to an already high standard of setting 40+ qualified meetings a month, but Annie prided herself not only on setting the most meetings but finding the biggest deals.”

Two paths
90 days from now
You’re going to spend the next 90 days either way. The only question is where they leave you.
If nothing changes
- Still refreshing job boards for roles that cap out at $65K.
- Still watching people you’re smarter than get paid twice what you make.
- Still assuming the six-figure jobs require a degree you don’t have.
- Another performance review, another 3% raise.
- Still telling yourself you’ll figure out the money thing “next year.”
If you come Tuesday
- You know exactly which role to target and what it pays.
- You’re talking to hiring managers directly instead of disappearing into an applicant pile.
- You can walk into a sales interview and answer the screening questions correctly.
- You have a first-90-days plan for the job before you even have the job.
- You know the difference between a real B2B seat and a commission-only “closing” hustle, and you stop wasting time on the wrong one.
- You’re building a skill that pays you for the next thirty years.
Is this the right room for you?
This is for you if
- You’re capable, underpaid, and out of patience with a salary band that isn’t moving.
- You’re done feeling behind people you’re smarter than.
- You want a real career with a base salary and benefits, not a side hustle.
- You have no sales experience and no degree, and you’ve been told that’s a ceiling.
- You’re already in sales and want to move into the companies where the ceiling is $500K+.
- You’re willing to learn a hard skill and be coached on it.
This is not for you if
- You want passive income or something that runs without you.
- You’re not willing to be told what you’re doing wrong and fix it.
- You expect results in a week.
- You want to be handed a job rather than taught how to earn one.

Questions
Do I need sales experience?
No. The entry-level roles I’ll cover are specifically designed for people with none. I’ve personally hired reps whose last job was serving tables, teaching, or managing a retail store, and watched them clear six figures within a year.
Do I need a college degree?
No. B2B sales is one of the few high-paying fields where the degree requirement has largely disappeared. Companies care whether you can do the work, and that’s demonstrable in an interview.
Is this actually remote?
Most of these roles are remote or hybrid. Some companies are pushing back toward in-office, which is exactly the kind of thing we’ll cover, so you know what you’re negotiating for.
What’s the difference between this and “high-ticket closing”?
Night and day. High-ticket closing is usually commission-only contract work selling coaching programs. B2B sales is a salaried career with commission on top, benefits, equity, and a promotion path. The full side-by-side is on this page, and I’ll walk through it on Tuesday.
How much money will I actually make?
Here’s the market math, not a promise about you. Entry-level B2B sales roles typically pay $85K–$110K at quota in year one, depending on company and market. Closing roles typically run $150K–$200K+. I’ll break down exactly how the compensation math works on the class. Your results depend on your market, your effort and your company. I can teach the path, not guarantee the outcome.
I’m 40+. Is it too late?
No, and the assumption that it is costs a lot of people a lot of money. Life experience is an asset in this job. Buyers take you more seriously, not less.
Do you help with job placement?
The free class teaches you the path. The paid program is where I go deeper: interview preparation and introductions to companies actively hiring. I’ll explain the difference, and what it costs, at the end of the class, without the pressure.
Is the class actually free?
Yes. Free to attend, 60 minutes, live. At the end I’ll spend a few minutes on Women Sales Academy, my paid program, for anyone who wants direct help. There’s no obligation, and the class stands on its own.
Will there be a replay?
Live is the priority. Replay is not guaranteed, so grab the seat either way. The live Q&A at the end is the most valuable part, and you can ask about your specific situation.
How long until I’d be earning?
Motivated career-changers typically land a role within one to three months of starting a serious search. Some are faster, some take longer. Anyone telling you there’s a guaranteed timeline is selling you something.
I’m already in sales. Is this too basic?
The first half will be review. The second half is how to get recruited into the top-paying enterprise rooms, and that’s the part most working reps say they came for.
Can I attend from outside the U.S.?
You’re welcome to attend. The compensation figures and hiring approach are U.S.-market specific, so the value will vary.
The jobs exist. The companies are hiring. You just need someone who’s been on the hiring side to show you the door.
