I've worked as an SDR for about 16 months and am one of the top performers. Im at the stage where I'm interested in exploring AE positions. However, my company has experienced four layoffs in the past 15 months, making the path to AE uncertain. Given my lack of closing experience, should I seek an SDR role at a more promising company with potential for AE promotion, or should I pursue external opportunities for an AE position? I know the market is difficult, but just looking for some advice.

I’m equally interested in exiting to finance (PE/VC and IB) and tech (Product manager and other semi-technical roles, not SWE or bizops). Which path is better to pursue/what are the pros and cons of each?

So I just started a new job in sales (B2B specifically). All my life I’ve been in blue collar jobs, military, then construction work ect. I don’t have much money saved to get myself my own business cards as I’m sure they are important to have, I’ve got all the info that I need to go out and start selling. I guess what I’m looking for is just tips on how you guys were successful walking into a whole new arena if that makes sense?

What positions can I apply for at other companies with only bdr experience?

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!
