Resources for an enterprise BDR?

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!

I would definitely start following some bdr/sdr training folks on LinkedIn. There are a multitude of resources there. John Barrows, Morgan Ingram, Jason Bay, Will Alred are just a few and will get you started in the right direction. DM me if you want to chat!

Agreed - tenbound has good resources, find LinkedIn influencers, and read books (Jen Blount fanatical prospecting is good to start)

Outreach too has great info on their blog when it comes to email cadences and messaging
