Inbound vs. Outbound SDR/BDR Roles: Which Path Suits You? Thinking about a sales career but unsure whether to go inbound or outbound? You're not alone. Many face this dilemma, and the misconception that everyone should start with outbound sales doesn’t help. Let’s explore the differences, required skills, and how to choose your path. Inbound SDR/BDR: Turning Interest into Revenue Role Overview:  🔹Handle leads from marketing efforts  🔹Nurture them down the sales funnel Key Responsibilities:  🔹Qualify incoming leads  🔹Respond to inquiries promptly  🔹Provide resources to prospects  🔹Set appointments for account executives Essential Skills:  🔹Strong communication and listening abilities  🔹Empathy and customer-oriented mindset  🔹Efficient time management Mindset and Interests:  🔹Passion for helping customers  🔹Patience in handling multiple inquiries  🔹Enjoy building relationships and solving problems Outbound SDR/BDR: Creating New Opportunities Role Overview:  🔹Proactively reach out to potential customers  🔹Generate new business opportunities Key Responsibilities:  🔹Research potential prospects  🔹Craft outreach messages  🔹Cold call and email  🔹Overcome objections and secure meetings Essential Skills:  🔹Resilience and tenacity  🔹Strong prospecting and research capabilities  🔹Persuasive communication Mindset and Interests:  🔹Thriving in a competitive environment  🔹Enjoying the challenge of engaging new prospects  🔹Persistence in the face of rejection Choosing Your Path: Consider Your Strengths and Interests:  If you excel at building relationships and prefer warm leads, inbound might be for you. If you love the thrill of the hunt and crafting outreach strategies, outbound could be your calling. Both roles offer unique opportunities. By understanding the differences and assessing your strengths, you can choose the path that aligns with your career goals. Success in sales is about finding the path that suits your talents and aspirations. 🔹Examples of companies hiring for each one.

Daily Quote Reminder: “To get the job, you MUST do the job” I know hearing this sounds easier said than done. As the market increasingly becoming more competitive, you cannot just simply apply anymore and hope for the best. You must reach out to recruiters, and people on the team for the position you’re applying, using AI/Software to help find connections to reach the final destination. If this sounds exhausting, you’re not ready to be an SDR! It’s become as simple as that. As someone who is currently trying to break into tech/software themselves, trust and believe I know the market is tough, especially for someone like me, a 20-year-old who doesn’t have as much experience vs a 3+ year SDR. However, someone’s mindset and persistence will always weigh more in the long run to becoming a great AE. #salesdevopment #SDR #BDR #techsales #softwaresales #saas #youngandmotivated

Why Tech Sales? "After spending time researching different career paths, I’ve found that tech sales is where I belong. Why? Because it's a dynamic field that combines my passion for building relationships with the excitement of solving real-world business problems through innovative technology. I’m excited about the opportunity to help companies transform how they operate and grow, while continuously learning and challenging myself. Here’s to the journey ahead, breaking into tech as an SDR! #TechSales #CareerChange #SalesDevelopment"

❌Companies that are doing the sales the old way are the ones who are going to fall behind! ❌SDR’s who don’t adapt to this will lose their jobs! I believe that in the future, companies will expect from SDRs to know all these AI sales tools and how to combine them to achieve personalization at scale. At the end of the day, whether we like It or not, it’s all about the money And paying one person that knows how to manage all these sales tools is cheaper & will produce better sales results than hiring bunch of SDR’s who are doing the outreach the old way.

I’m not even in sales currently (Sales adjacent, really) But I have such a strong belief that if you aren’t training up on tools like: Clay Smartlead Salesforge 🔥 Apollo.io (Insert* other AI related sales tools) You’re doing yourself an absolute disservice professionally The SDR function will be needed* but I’ve witnessed what a hyper efficient, small sales team could do at SaaStr and various consulting ops Add in any number of the above tools along with an efficient operator and.. The AI Sales Prompt Manager is the future as it pertains to the SDR function (You’re seeing it w agencies like what Kellen Casebeer is running) Scaling will be exponentially faster, expediting time to market message fit and eventually PMF as a end game in early stage startups Late stage teams will see the continued reduction in SDR headcount Of course, Those who have mastered the personal touch of deeply personalized outreach w the scaling motion of AI Will command the next big opportunity career and salary wise Especially in this time of consolidation and mergers But then again, I’m probably geeked up on being in SF for a hot literal second (Plane layover, photo def in random canyon in the West) And like what do I know though 🤷🏼♂️🫡 #AIIsSoHawtRightNow

Please please please put some respect on the SDR title! It is a very mentally and emotionally demanding role not for the faint of heart. It requires you to deal with an exceptional amount of rejection, and only the resilient will thrive! The SDR role is typically the first point of contact with the 𝙲̲𝚞̲𝚜̲𝚝̲𝚘̲𝚖̲𝚎̲𝚛̲ (unless you are a full cycle AE) . 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 just an entry-level sales position. Understanding its significance is crucial. Do your research. Use your network! Reach out to people who hold the titles you are curious about and ask them for 15 min of their time to understand their day-to-day life, challenges, and what brings them joy in their roles. Dont switch industries blindly! If you have years of experience in one industry, leverage that knowledge rather than blindly jumping into an SDR role in tech sales without understanding the tech landscape. #sales #techsales #BDR #SDR #salestraining ~~~~~~~~ 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑡𝑜 𝐾𝑎𝑖 𝑃'𝑠 𝑈𝑛𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝐼𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑠?
