There are currently thousands of unsung heroes, known as Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), creating revenue growth within companies around the world. The SDR role is often the first step in a salesperson’s career journey. It’s a role that allows entry-level sellers to gain experience while building the skills needed to climb the sales ladder. Yet, due to the volume of cold calls they’re required to make and the grueling rejections that follow, many SDRs churn before advancing to the next level in their career.
The good news is that there are steps both SDRs and sales managers can take to ensure that career advancement occurs before burnout and that SDRs enjoy a long, satisfying career in sales.
