Sometimes I feel I ask and talk too much. I struggle with how much and when to speak, especially during meetings. I am focused on aligning expectations early to avoid miscommunication later but is that a good strategy? Clarity saves time for everyone but how is that relevant to hiring processes? How are expectations usually clarified during hiring? I appreciate direct conversations.

We all do sometimes, I wouldn't worry too much. Just focus on how much others are speaking, know your role, and you'll be fine. Sometimes you need to lead conversations and explain your point of view, sometimes you need to be an active listener when someone is sharing something important to them.

Thanks for sharing

Hey follow over-thinker. Like the person above said, watch how much others speak and do the same. There is clarity, and then there is being repetitive and/or condescending. You want to make sure you don't cross that line. Pay attention to how others are responding to you. If answers are curt and people seem a bit annoyed, you may have stepped over that line.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
