How hard is it to pivot to a BDR/SDR role as a tech consultant from a boutique firm with 1-yr experience? I don’t have previous sales experience, except for my time at a call center which lasted for two months until covid hit. What should I be doing now to bridge this knowledge gap? Is there anyone willing to give a referral?

It’s not hard. Show that you are organized, willing to hustle, and are competitive. Study up on sales stack technologies like outreach or Salesloft. And make sure you understand CRM’s real well. Companies take chances on inexperienced SDR’s all the time. But the the above skill sets will show you know what you are getting into. And understand that you’ll be in the role for at least a year before a promotion to AE. Lots of companies do it faster, but the good ones allow the SDR’s to grow for a year at their job.

Anxiety before your sales demos?

Do these 2 things I used to do to get over it:

1. Know the product inside out - it will take time for you to gain confidence in your sales abilities but if you know the product will you’ll be more confident in that domain.

2. Do more demos - the more calls and presentations you do the more comfortable you’ll get. My advice is to try to get on a lot of presentations, even with leads that aren’t so good.
