Hi! The best thing about a closed door is a new one always opens.

After 5+ years of door to door sales and now 1 year in SaaS I am ready for another step in my career. I am currently an SDR and have exceeded quota most months but the path to AE is sparse if at all possible at my current company. I am looking to make the jump, to an AE or AM position somewhere I will be paid well and valued. I was a full cycle AE for my 5 years doing door to door so I feel more than capable.

Let me know!

Most SDR’s feel super ready, but doing door to door B2C vs selling into an enterprise is honestly apples and oranges.

Anyhow, if your gung-ho ready, go for a SMB role, you’ll sink in anything above that. Also, check the industry you’re interested in. Some are better than others, and don’t just look at OTE.

Get an understanding of Product Market fit, and if this is something that sells well in the current market, or if it’s useless (I.e. are you selling a SaaS vendor for gift cards or are you doing cyber security, etc etc)
