In this episode of the Sales & Sports Podcast, we sit down with Rana Phull, who made an incredible career transition from serving in the Metropolitan Police to becoming the highest-performing Sales Development Representative (SDR) globally within a year earning over £60k in 12 months.

Rana shares his story of how he used transferable skills—from negotiating with the general public daily in law enforcement and previous teaching roles that set him up for success in sales.

Within just one year, he has gone from being a newcomer in tech sales to achieving top-tier performance, proving that skills developed in any field can lead to success in SaaS sales.

Rana also opens up about the financial rewards of working in tech sales, the impact of his career shift on his family life as a father of three, and how balancing personal passions (like football and his love for Manchester United) with his demanding sales career keeps him grounded.

Whether you’re considering a career pivot, looking to break into tech sales, or simply curious about what it takes to thrive in a high-performance sales environment, this episode is packed with actionable insights and real-world advice.

Tune in to hear how Rana made the leap, and how you can too!
