Hiring your first AE? Here's what to look for: ✅ Self-prospecting experience is a must! Ideally, they’ve been an SDR before or have recent hands-on prospecting experience. ✅ Fast career growth and consistent promotions show ambition. You want someone who could maybe even evolve into a player/coach as your team scales. At least a mentor. ✅ Ownership mindset – find someone who’s eager to drive both their personal growth and your company’s success. ✅ Track record of hitting quota for 3-4 years is key. Proven results speak louder than promises. What else would you add?

Alright y'all, quick update for everyone here. The response to this post was incredible! The number of people who reshared and referred people they know just reinforces the power of this network to do good for others. Some quick stats: In 48 hours I received over 400 connection requests I received close to 150 Direct Messages, only about 37.5%, and I read every one. Only 46 poeple sent email, 11.5% I was surprised that only 22 calls were made to me, and of that I only received 9 voicemails, 2.25% I also received 10 referral candidates from people I know and trust I have pulled a pool of 20 candidates to begin the interview process of those: - All of the 10 referrals are getting a shot - Two of the best voicemails are getting in - The other 8 sent messages telling me why they are exceptional The point here is that in a crowded market, you need to find a way to stand out. Lazy messaging and zero follow up are not going to cut it. These posts offer hiring managers a work sample to review before anything else, use it wisely! 🤘

Why should you become an SDR? 📌Career Growth and Skill Development: The SDR role is a common entry point into the sales profession and provides a solid foundation in sales techniques, communication skills, and understanding of the sales process. It’s an excellent way to learn about the industry and gain experience that can lead to more advanced positions such as Account Executive, Sales Manager, or even higher leadership roles within a company. 📌Networking Opportunities: As an SDR, you'll interact with a wide range of professionals both within your organization and across the industry. This can help you build a strong professional network, which is valuable for career advancement, learning about market trends, and even future job opportunities. 📌Tangible Impact on Company Success: SDRs play a critical role in generating leads and setting up meetings that drive the sales pipeline. This means you have a direct impact on the company's revenue and growth. We at Deel are hiring SMB & Mid Market SDR'S. Here is why you should join us? 1. Fastest growing SAAS company in the history. 2. Kick ass product. 3. 0 to 500m in 5 years. 4. Permanently remote company. 5. High growth, high performing team. If you think someone needs this opportunity tag them or if you're fit for the role comment " Deel" & I shall advise the next steps.

Many employers might NOT like this, but it needs to be said: Hiring the right SDR isn't working for you. ↳ You're too rigid on your requirements. ↳ You're not thinking outside the box. If you're assembling a sales team, think about bringing in talent from a recruiting agency. Agency employees come with and can: ↳ Thick skin. ↳ Resilience. ↳ Book meetings ↳ Build relationships ↳ Persuasion skills ↳ Negotiation exp ↳ Can cold call and email ↳ Follow up track record ↳ A very strong work ethic. ↳ Customer service skills. ↳ Powerful listening abilities. TO MY AGENCY EMPLOYEE RECRUITERS: If you're tired of LITTLE pay in a cutthroat market, consider transitioning into tech sales. The best entryway? Become an SDR. Why? ↳ Work with innovative products. ↳ Strong career growth potential. ↳ High demand in tech companies. ↳ Dynamic and fast-paced environment. ↳ Gain experience with cutting-edge sales tools. ↳ High earning potential with commissions and equity. P.S. I’m hiring SDRs nationwide! Whether you're new to sales or an experienced SDR, reach out if you're ready to join some of the most innovative startups hiring now!

I AM HIRING ..... to join the team at VENATRIX! 💪✨💌 As many people know, after being at Venatrix for 4.5 years I decided to step away and make the move into SaaS sales but i've been back with the dream team for nearly a year now (can't even believe its been another year)! I'm so excited that we are hiring for more people to join us in helping SaaS companies to scale their business development functions & to support people into finding an SDR/BDR/AE/SDR Manager role 🚀 Here are 5 things I LOVE about Venatrix & why you should message me to find out more ... 💞We make a difference in everything we do. I've worked with over 500 candidates helping them to often find their first BDR/SDR opportunity (a critical decision to make). The support and guidance that we give candidates is something that I often get feedback on that candidates think makes us stand out as a recruitment company 💪Since being back at Venatrix (and my new favourite memory) is working with candidates who I placed into roles 5 years ago, who are now in leadership positions and using Venatrix to find their business development team. Seeing people who I worked with progress in their career is so rewarding 🥂Working with some of the coolest SaaS companies around to help them grow and scale. Hiring a business development team is critical to supporting growth plans and knowing the impact of the hires that we have helped with is phenomenal 🤑 Our commission structure is motivating, incredible & rewarding. Recruitment is a TOUGH game but we certainly get to reap the rewards when the going gets tough. People on the team have bought houses, have multiple trips to Selfridges & go on some seriously nice holidays 💜 We are a small team. We all know each other, work hard together & also support each other. There is no hierarchy & we operate a very flat structure, allowing you easily have access to our CEO and Head of Delivery, allowing you to gain a wealth of knowledge from people with a tonne of experience 💌If you're interested in finding out more, drop me a message to chat💌 You must be based in London & we operate a 2 day office policy in central London 🇬🇧

Champify is hiring our next mid-market AE! Too many companies try to hide the compensation info, so I'm putting it up top... $150-175k OTE / year, plus an equity stake in the company. Here's the job description: 👇 What’s in it for you? - Work with a founding team who deeply respects the craft of sales - Sharp ops/growth team to help with account selection, tooling, automation, and using AI to help you blow out your number. - Team selling environment – across investors, advisors, employees, and leadership team. We win and lose as a team - Proven, happy, and referenceable customers with concrete, measurable wins and ROI - Early category where you are the buyer persona – this means some of our best product ideas come from our internal sales team AND from real conversations you have with prospects and customers - The last two quarters we’ve had our biggest ARR deal consecutively and hit greater than 100% to goal - You will be treated like a pro and get coaching and attention from me directly.
