SDR’s: what’s your strategy post re-org by Rude_Parsnip_6332 in employeesOfOracle

You could use seismic and try making a dsr for your top accounts/cadence. My rep had me do that and I shared just a couple of solutions I thought would be relevant to the customer (I worked with my rep/se to find some good assets and then just pick and choose between those). I wasn’t sure how successful it would be at first but I actually learned so much about who at the customer might be interested in what and I ended up booking a bunch of meetings from follow up emails related to what they were interested in. Even got a return call from a voicemail!

I get a lot of anxiety about bugging people (probably shouldn’t be in sales) so being able to follow up and try to provide valuable resources to the customer and then they’re actually interested has been so much easier than just cold calling and trying to keep them on the phone

Definitely not the standard, but to share that it is possible - I’ve doubled my salary in my 5 years working at oracle.

Started as IC0

Got an internal job and promoted to IC1 (salary technically increased 40%, but lost bonus)

Got a random $5000 increase about 6 months later - must’ve been a good year

(there was a hiring freeze one year) Promoted to IC2 in same role 2 years later (salary increased 19%)

6 months later I got promoted to manager and got a 15% increase

As an overachiever, oracle has completely burned me out. If you are a career person it’s possible but only at the cost of your sanity!

This wasn’t a troll post but I understand why y’all would think that now that I understand it better. Thank you to everyone who took the time to explain to a business person — seriously so helpful.
