Hi I’m a BDR manager!

How many PTO days does your company offer? I’m trying to build a case to get my team additional time off so all responses are helpful!

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

This is my first holiday season in Charlotte, is the tree lighting festival worth attending? Does anyone know what to expect?

Is anyone from this bowl working at 6sense?

If yes, please share some info regarding work culture, Work life balance, job security and employee benefits.

Thanks in advance, fishes.

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.

Hello All,

I recently got a job working as a BDR for an enterprise rep. We sell a SaaS product for other tech companies. It is a new realm for me as I have been primarily an AE throughout my career.

What resources are out there to help me learn how to work these accounts (500+ person companies)? looking for tips on everything from writing email cadences, sending video messages, and even qualifying leads during discovery calls.

Thanks for the help!

I’d like to transition from consulting and corporate strategy/dev to sales and business development…

Do you guys know of any tech companies hiring SDR/BDR roles remote?

Hi! I’m at my first bdr role in tech, the company is small and I think daily kpi are a bit hard.

What are usually kpi in companies like salesforce for example?
Thanks

What made you get into sales? Comment below 👇

What are your financial and career goals as a BDR/SDR?

I have a total of 4 years sales experience, 1 year in life insurance sales and 3 in retail banking (lending, investment referrals, merchant services referrals).

I did well in banking, but incentive plan has suffered tremendously, so I’m looking to jump into tech sales where I could be more compensated for the work.

Anyone in tech sales willing to chat? ☕️

What positions can I apply for at other companies with only bdr experience?

What’s the best advice for someone early in career?

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?

Hi, I am currently in the process of breaking into tech sales. One hurdle that I am trying to get over is being able to displaying my current role as a Materials planner into tech sales, I currently do alot B2B communication high volume emailing and calls. Any help would be appreciated.
