sales isn't what they told you

Written By Ayush Duggal

stop believing the lies.

too many smart graduates hesitate to pursue sales careers. they bought into outdated stereotypes.

"sales is pushy." "it's only for extroverts." "it's a dead-end job."

time to ditch those myths.

sales in edtech is different. it's understanding what people need, offering solutions that genuinely help, and building lasting relationships.

it's making a real difference in real lives.

sales is for anyone who wants to create change.

introverts can excel as salespeople. they're often incredible listeners who truly understand their customers.

the benefits are real: high earning potential, fast-paced growth, and transferable skills that work anywhere.

in outcome-based education, sales is even more impactful. you're helping people reach their potential and take pride in themselves.

research shows edtech sales roles offer median salaries significantly higher than traditional entry-level positions. the industry continues growing even during economic uncertainty.

if you're a recent grad looking for a fulfilling career, don't let outdated stereotypes hold you back.

sales is a chance to connect, make a difference, and build a rewarding career.

the question isn't whether sales is right for you. it's whether you're willing to ignore what everyone else thinks and see for yourself.

Ayush Duggal is the kind of founder who looked at India’s graduate unemployment problem and thought, “What if the real issue isn’t jobs or skills, but the complete lack of believable salespeople?” So he built VerveSchool. A place where the overlooked learn the overlooked skill. Sales. Not the sleazy kind. The kind that actually works. The kind where someone trusts you enough to say yes without hating themselves afterwards.

He teaches people how to sell like they mean it. Not because a script told them to. But because they’ve actually understood what it means to solve a problem for someone who’s barely listening. It’s more psychology than pipeline. More theatre than theory. More “shut up and listen” than “always be closing.”

VerveSchool runs on a Pay After Placement model. Which, let’s be honest, is probably how all education should work. You pay when it works. Not before. Radical, apparently. But only if you're still pretending the current system makes sense.

Ayush is allergic to mediocrity and buzzwords. He prefers late-night coaching calls to keynote speeches. He’d rather get one ambitious underdog to a 7 LPA role than impress a room full of VCs who’ve never had to sell a ₹15,000 course to a broke 24-year-old with a BA pass degree.

He’s read more Osho than MBA textbooks and thinks most “career advice” would make more sense if it came with a warning label. He doesn’t do fake humility. Or fake urgency. Just real people, real growth, and real results.
