ATSC: The CompTIA-Equivalent Certification for Tech Sales Professionals

When people think of breaking into the technology industry, they usually picture coding bootcamps, cybersecurity certifications, or networking credentials like CompTIA’s Network+ or Security+. These certifications are well-respected because they validate technical skills that employers recognize.

But what about the business side of technology—the part that drives revenue, creates growth, and ultimately funds every engineering and product team? That’s where tech sales comes in. And until now, there hasn’t been a premier, industry-recognized certification that sets the standard for professionals entering this field.

That’s exactly what the Adgility Tech Sales Certification (ATSC) is designed to be.

Tech Sales: The Fastest Way Into the Tech Industry

While technical certifications like Network+ or Security+ can take months to prepare for, require deeper technical knowledge, and often involve significant costs, tech sales offers a faster entry point into technology careers.

Why?

• Tech companies are always hiring Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to generate pipeline and grow revenue.

• The barrier to entry is lower than technical roles, but the earning potential is just as strong—entry-level SDRs often make $60,000–$80,000 OTE (On Target Earnings).

• Many successful tech leaders—from account executives to founders—started in sales, where they learned how the business side of technology operates.

For those who want to eventually transition into technical roles, starting in sales gives you industry exposure, product knowledge, and a network of connections—all while you’re earning and building credibility.

Why ATSC Stands Apart From Other “Sales Certifications”

There are plenty of sales training programs online—some are free, some are mass-marketed. But most fall into one of two categories:

1. Lightweight courses that teach generic sales skills without industry credibility.

2. Company-run programs designed only for internal use, not recognized across the job market.

The ATSC Certification was built differently. Like CompTIA for IT, ATSC is meant to be a recognized benchmark for tech sales professionals—something employers can immediately trust as a signal of readiness.

Key differences:

• Rigorous Exam – ATSC includes a 75+ question proctored certification exam, covering prospecting, cold outreach, objection handling, pipeline management, and deal execution.

• Scenario-Based Testing – Instead of memorizing definitions, candidates face real-world sales scenarios, proving they can apply knowledge in practice.

• Performance-Linked Opportunities – Certified reps gain access to commission-based opportunities with partner companies, proving their skills in real business environments.

• Credibility Over Volume – ATSC isn’t about mass enrollments. It’s about creating a premier standard for those serious about entering the tech sales profession.

The ATSC vs. CompTIA Analogy

Think of it this way:

• CompTIA’s Network+ proves you know networking fundamentals.

• CompTIA’s Security+ proves you know cybersecurity basics.

• The ATSC Certification proves you know the fundamentals of tech sales—the revenue-driving engine every SaaS company depends on.

Just as employers recognize CompTIA as the gold standard in IT, we are establishing ATSC Certified as the gold standard in B2B tech sales.

The Premier Path Into Tech

If you’re aiming for a career in technology but don’t want to spend months (or years) grinding through technical certifications before you even land your first role, tech sales is the fastest on-ramp. And with ATSC, you don’t just “say” you’re ready—you prove it with a credential employers recognize.

That’s why the Adgility Tech Sales Certification isn’t just another course or sales training. It’s a career-launching credential designed to carry the same weight for tech sales that CompTIA carries for IT.
