Your Learning Journey: 8 Phases to Placement

A structured career transition system — from mindset reset to your first B2B SaaS offer. Every phase builds on the last.

PHASE 1

Prerequisites & Orientation

Skill-Up Sessions, foundational masterclasses, and orientation — build the right mental and professional foundation before the core begins.

PHASE 5 — AI TOOLS

Tools That Give You the Edge

PHASE 6 — REVIEW

Assignments + Personalized Feedback

Real execution tasks — prospecting lists, cold emails, call scripts — with 1-on-1 founder review. No automated grading.

PHASE 7 — INTERNSHIP

Solve the "No Experience" Problem

Optional 2-week live SDR internship on US, EU & UK markets with paid tool access — graduate with real work experience and a portfolio built for you.

FINAL PHASE

The Placement System

Two pathways to your offer: Fast Track for top performers (paid internship, priority referrals) and the Outreach Megamind Path for all graduates — mock interviews + 21-day outreach sprint.

Placement is driven by execution, not theory. The more you put in, the faster the outcome.

What is the HireForSkillz SDR Program?

The HireForSkillz SDR Program is a structured training and placement program that prepares you for Sales Development Representative (SDR) roles at B2B SaaS companies.
