I advise against going somewhere else. Earn the promotion at your current firm and then jump ship. From personal and also my colleagues experience

I’ve only seen one person at my company turn into an AE from bdR I’ve been at the current company 1 year 4 months as a bdr might have to jump ship

I’m trying to do that now and looking at SMB AE positions. Any advice on how I can actually land the role for interviewing?

Have u been there for a year??

10 months

I’d stick with it. As long as you’re performing it’s more about building the network with sales management so when an opportunity pops up, you can pounce.

Keep in mind if you’ve never been an AE before and you jump ship you’ll have to do a role you’ve never done before with a product you don’t know how to sell.

Not saying don’t do it, just weigh your options.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Additional Posts in Business Development Reps (BDRs and SDRs)

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?
