Hello, I am an SDR at a healthcare tech company and looking into transition into a account manager role but I am also being given the opportunity to choose a Direct Sales role, building my prospects and also closing sale.
I am not sure what is my best career move. I also will be graduating with my MBA in June 2022.

What do you enjoy more? Do you enjoy building relationships or prospecting more? As an AM you need to be the clients partner in success, and main POC. As direct sales you’ll get a lot of rejections so you need to be able to build a good pipeline.

Anyone have experience with this?

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
