Considering becoming a BDR, what does your typical day look like?

build qualified list (Sunday) based on personas and verticals - organize list by verticals, roles and personas (AM Monday) - Discovery - Hit the phones (45 before lunch) - break (gym) - Ideally cadenced emails should be going out during this process in the background. Any opens? call prospect immediately. After lunch 25 calls, pepper in some LI networking - end of day process, check metrics. take note of what time of day calls were answered - change accordingly. Obviously this is just the surface but its a grind - goal is to be an AE. Keep your eye on the prize, put your head down and grind

Any other loan officers in here? I'm trying to decide if I should dig in with the current market or look to pivot. I've only been a loan officer since 10/2020. So this is my first rough patch. The style of leads my company provided was different than what they have me doing now. It went from hot inquiries to cold call center calls. My wife makes good money, but I don't want her to carry our finances for long as we are a team. What jobs could I look to pivot to if I pivot? Thanks fishes!

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?
