I started my new job last month. A partner manager from one of the vendors my company works with reached out to me to scheduled an introductory call and wanted to connect on teams. I was given two time slots to choose from. I choose one time time slot and never heard back. Do you think I could have done anything else better? Am I at fault here by any chance?

No it sounds like they are slow in their follow up. If it’s urgent for you- I’d send an invite. Otherwise just wait to hear from them

Agreed, also did you immediately choose that time slot or was there a day or two in between from when you talked to them?

Example, the partner manager reached out Monday, you selected a time on Wednesday and haven’t heard back yet? Curious to know that as that will play a role

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Additional Posts in Business Development Reps (BDRs and SDRs)

I am looking to get into technical/engineering sales. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to start or places to look at? LinkedIn and other job postings sites are overwhelming and I’ve always wanted to get into sales. My background is industrial engineering with a minor in business and my current role is a mechanical engineer in manufacturing with about 6 years of experience.

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!
