I just applied to Salesforce for a BDR role. I don't have a Bachelor's but I have more than two years of BDR experience at Paychex as well as an Associates Degree in Business Admin. I personally messaged a recruiter on LinkedIn about my values and why I want to work for Salesforce. No response. Anyone else apply or those of you that work there, what are your tips for breaking in?

It's very competitive right now, so don't feel discouraged. However, personally, my company likes to see people come through the hiring page rather than LinkedIn. If you want the most eyeballs go and fill out an application

I did! I just let the recruiter know that I did as well :) thanks so much for the insight! Do you know how long they typically take to get back to you after you fill out an application?

Out of curiosity how was your experience at paychex? You cab dm me if you like.. I had a recruiter reach out to me from there

Its ok I dont mind sharing. Honestly in the beginning it was fine. It's a good place to get your feet wet.

It also really depends on the leadership you have. They're huge on activity numbers as opposed to revenue on the SDR side which I'm not super keen on. There's also some weird stuff going on with the appointment booking cycle for SDR's. I'd definitely look on glassdoor. The reviews kind speak for themselves too.

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?
