The hardest part of being an SDR is not

- prospecting
- sending emails
- making cold calls

It’s the “daily discipline” of doing those things over and over and over

Consistency always wins! 💪

But the worst part? Calling someone your boss deems you need to- knowing full well they are not interested in what you have to offer. Those calls are the hardest, the ones you pray they don't answer so you can email knowing that way you can get your whole pitch in!

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Hi! Looking for personal branding/job seeking tips! I’ve been building Employer Branding into my role (and company) over the past 2 years, and finding it very rewarding. I come from content/recruitment marketing but beyond my recent EB projects I’ve studied EB and done certifications, and I’m interested in changing to a full-time EB specialist/manager role at a new organization. **What type of projects and skills should I highlight in my resume? Or how should I start? 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?

Thanks for the help!
