Yes, there are tons of resources, but I'll try to offer some simple tips.

Sales is a lot like golf. You can make it so complicated as to be impossible, or you can simply walk up and hit the ball. I've been leading and building sales orgs for almost 20 years and my advice is to walk up and hit the ball.
Sales is about people, and it's about problem-solving. It is not about solutions or technology or chemicals or lines of code or artichokes. It's about people, and it's about solving problems.
People buy 4 things and 4 things only. Ever. Those 4 things are time, money, sex, and approval/peace of mind. If you try selling something other than those 4 things you will fail.
People buy aspirin always. They buy vitamins only occasionally and at unpredictable times. Sell aspirin.
I say in every talk I give: "all things being equal people buy from their friends. So make everything else equal then go make a lot of friends."
Being valuable and useful is all you ever need to do to sell things. Help people out. Send interesting posts. Write birthday cards. Record videos sharing your ideas for growing their business. Introduce people who would benefit from knowing each other than get out of the way, expecting nothing in return. Do this consistently and authentically and people will find ways to give you money. I promise.
No one cares about your quota, your payroll, your opex, your burn rate, etc. No one. They care about the problem you are solving for them.

There is more than 100 trillion dollars in the global economy just waiting for you to breathe it in. Good luck.

Over the last ~5 years, I've purchased and tried almost one of each — not an exaggeration.

Here's what I use, in mid-2025:

Use-cases where each one shines:

Marshall Monitor III ANC
On the bike, on the road — Compact, rugged, good tactile button & joystick controls.
Sony XM5
For work, work-calls in the office or at a cafe — Still the best for calls. And excellent for ANC. Tried the XM6, switched back to the XM5.
The XM6 inner ear cup protrusion pushes against my ears, leading to massive discomfort. And XM6 call quality is inferior to XM5 — Might be fixed by future firmware updates. Bose QC and QC Ultra are very good, but inferior to the Sony XM5 in call quality.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3
For immersive listening, wireless — Excellent audio quality, tuning, comfort and button / tactile controls.
Rode NTH-100m
For immersive wired listening — Balanced tuning. Rich sound. Built-in mic for work calls from home. Wired listening is still **far** superior to wireless alternatives.

All of these are below €500 — Diminishing returns once you go beyond that price-point.
