Why I Quit Being a Cop to Work in Tech Sales


Listen Later

What would make a decorated federal investigator quit his job to start over at the bottom of the tech sales ladder? This video is the unfiltered story of Why I Quit Being a Cop to Work in Tech Sales. Taft Love shares his journey from working on a federal white-collar crime task force to grinding it out as an entry-level sales rep in San Francisco. He gets real about the financial frustrations and lack of meritocracy that drove him out of law enforcement and the lessons he learned about starting over, finding mentors, and building a new career from scratch. This is a masterclass in professional reinvention and the power of saying "yes" to unexpected opportunities. Check out the company: https://icebergops.com
