Hey everyone --

My name is Josh. I’m an engineer by degree, who has always taken an interest in people. I was laid off a couple of months ago and have decided to explore a career in sales. I recently decided to start digging into the hubspot sales training. Are there any specific videos, or additional training you all would recommend?

Hi @Jtmoreno! Welcome to the Community-- happy to have you here 😊

I highly recommend the [Inbound Sales Certification Course](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/inbound-sales)on the HubSpot Academy if you haven’t seen it already. I’d also suggest the [Critical Thinking Course](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/critical_thinking).

Let’s invite some of our experts for their insight as well! Hey [@HubSpot\_Corey](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/580930), [@Shadab\_Khan](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/513582), @beeginman, [@Alex\_Elborn](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73663) do y’all have any recommended resources to help @Jtmoreno get started in Sales? Thanks!

Best,  
Kennedy

Hey, another Josh in HubSpot - we are growing!  
I’m part of the IT Wing for a sales oriented business and have helped them develop and grow with HubSpot as their new CRM. I’ve done all the courses they have as a show of solidarity.

I found the [Sales Software](https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/academy/143266595/?overviewType=TRACK&overviewEntityId=12&ruid=61123695) academy course specifically very helpful - if you haven’t dug into this yet, it will help you nail the basics but also introduce you to some more advance concepts.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube covering additional material also, I found [HubSpot Hacks](https://www.youtube.com/@HubSpotHacks) super helpful (and less trying to sell me HubSpot ‘XYZ’ Hub).

Good luck!
