Public-sector tech sales • built for beginners

Learn to sell technology to governments before your first day on the job.

Hiring managers in transit, city, and utility tech don't pick the rep with the most cold calls. They pick the one who can explain what an RTCC or a DERMS does — and shows up with a real territory plan. This course makes you that candidate.

The unfair advantage

Domain knowledge beats experience. So we sell it by the track.

Generic sales courses teach you to dial. This one teaches you an industry — who the buyers are, how public money moves, what the technology does, and who you'll compete against — so you interview like someone with a year on the job.

Buyers who don't work like B2B

Councils, boards, and regulators approve spending in public. You'll learn to read the budget books, dockets, and minutes where deals announce themselves months early.

Technology in buyer language

Every product family explained the way a pro pitches it — one-breath explanations for the RTCC, the ATMS, AMI, and DERMS that you can say out loud in an interview.

Deals decided before the RFP

Public contracts are shaped in the months before they publish. You'll learn pre-RFP capture — the discipline most reps discover years into the job, if ever.

One system, three industries

The capture system runs through every track.

You saw it in the board above. Every pursuit gets a readiness score (20% baseline, +10 per confirmed proof, capped at 95), six mandatory gates, and a color — Green, Yellow, or Red — with a playbook for each. The same Northview case study is worked in all three tracks: a fleet-electrification deal, a city safety program, and a utility AMI modernization. Learn it once; sell anywhere.

GREEN ≥ 80% + all gates

Release-ready

Influence documented, Economic Buyer met, window in writing, compliance verified. Full pursuit — you helped shape a procurement any capable vendor could win.

YELLOW 55–79% • 1–2 gates open

The 14-day plan

Influence underway, critical proofs missing. You'll write the gap-closing plan the way capture teams do — the exact exercise the Northview case walks you through.

RED < 55% • 3+ gates open

De-risk or switch paths

The RFP would land neutral or tilted to a competitor. Deprioritize, or move to a pilot or cooperative path. Knowing when to walk is the skill.

Pick your industry

Inside every track

Nine modules, beginner to interview-ready.

The deliverable

The capstone is your interview weapon.

When they ask "why this industry?", every other candidate answers with a paragraph. You answer with a portfolio — built from real public documents about real organizations in a territory you chose. Our graduates' favorite sentence: "Actually, I built something — may I show you?"

01
Territory plan

A Top-10 target list for one state — every trigger cited to a budget book, docket, or board minute, scored on the course's 4-dimension scorecard.

02
Pre-RFP opportunity brief

Three pages on your #1 target, anchored to their real KPIs, with funding path and the vertical's edge section — governance or security posture.

03
The 7-minute pitch

You, on video, presenting both — rehearsed against the same rubric hiring managers unconsciously use.

Questions

FAQ

Do I need sales experience — or an industry background?+
No, and no. The course was built for beginners: Module 0 assumes you've never carried a quota, and Module 1 assumes you've never met your vertical. If you DO have adjacent experience (transit ops, city work, utility field service, military), Module 8 shows you how to make it your headline.
How long does a track take?+
About 6–8 hours of lessons plus the capstone (8–12 hours over two weeks). Modules unlock as you pass each exam, so most students finish in 2–4 weeks alongside a job.
Which track should I pick?+
Pick the industry you can most easily see yourself talking about for a year — or the one where you have any adjacent background, since that compounds. If you're genuinely torn, the bundle exists because the sales system is shared: the second and third tracks go much faster than the first.
Is this videos or reading?+
Both. Every lesson exists as full written content in the course player today; narrated slide videos roll out lesson-by-lesson, and your access includes everything as it lands. Exams and the capstone are fully interactive from day one.
What's your refund policy?+
[Set before launch — recommended: 14 days, no questions asked, if you've completed fewer than 3 modules. Simple to honor via Stripe.]
