Is it possible for someone without a degree or tech experience to get a fully remote entry level SDR or BDR role? If so, how? My sister’s boyfriend was fairly successful at a call center a few years ago but has only worked low wage jobs since. Any steady job would be a step up. My current employer wants 2+ YOE in a “professional environment” for the BDR role, which would likely be a barrier even with a referral.

I would definitely try it if you think he would be a good candidate. Call center experience is very relevant in this situation. I don’t see why it would not be considered professional.

A few months ago it’d probably be an easy transition. SDRs are typically considered much more of a cost than closers, so it’ll be very hard in this market

Agree with oracle - he should be able to get a BDR role at most companies but he’ll need to relate the experience he does have to sales or at least how it sparked his interest

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?
