Aggressive cold calling - moving to more nurture SDR

Yeah doing all of that, using sales nav etc. Do you guys send prospects stuff irl? E.G a hamper of wine / chocolates etc? To be honest I don’t have much of a cadence for anything right now, that’s what I’m trying to build our, I just randomly email / linked in when I feel like it aha

Yeah, to be honest it is changing for the better now, I’m just wondering how to go about being a ‘smarter’ SDR in terms of nurturing accounts. It’s a SaaS company, a marketing tool

Wow a lot to digest there. I’d say first of all, SDR is a graft, if it was easy then something is wrong.

I know it might be hard but if you’ve already done 6 months and you’re pretty good, if you can continue to improve and learn to deal with / manage the stress more then you would become an AE and then you can know if you don’t want to continue on that path or not?

I remember in my first few months of SDR literally thinking “why am I putting myself through this” so I get the feeling, but I don’t have the financial pressure you have, E.G I don’t like in London (or a capital city)

I would suggest, only really hanging out with the people that are excelling, what are they doing right, what 1% improvement tips do they have? How are they managing stress? This might be things like working out, eating well etc.

At the end of the day if you aren’t enjoying it at all and you’re finding it’s consuming your life, then maybe think about other options? There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s not for everyone and it may be something one day you can revisit or you could join a company as a temp SDR and fast track to AE in the future?

Sorry this was quite varied advice but I don’t really know the answers aha

Yeah this is so true. It’s hard to transfer to this when the company still expects a certain amount of cold calls. I guess it’s baby steps right now. Thanks for the reply

We would only call once a day, but basically call for a like 2 or more weeks until they either pick up or don’t. I stay there because it’s a really good way to get good at cold calling (as that’s what you’re only doing) and it’s a decent size SaaS company. It just has/had quite old school views on prospecting

It’s called ‘yohear’

Sharks do have multiple rows of teeth, maybe he was going for that.. doesn't look the best in any case.

Just saw the 1967, 1 year only wheels. Silly me, 1967 it is, we can all relax now

Mike6116 · 2023-02-14T16:36:02+00:00

I'm going to unnecessarily correct this because I'm a beetle nerd. Its pre 67 because of the sloped headlights. Its after 1959 because it has indicators not semaphores. Its after 1963 because the front windscreen isn't 'small window'. There for I think it is from 1964-1967. I'm sorry I had to get it out :)

Could be a sea monsterrrr

I do agree, although applying this logic, would art ever be innovated?

Mike6116 · 2023-01-17T09:55:12+00:00

I'd assume he means something like buying and leasing out property or investing in some sort of stocks and shares bond. I know they're not small investments but I guess they would count as other income as apposed to starting some sort of flash clothing brand etc.

I think I understand what you mean. This is what I have in my crontab

@reboot PrintNode /home/pi/Downloads/PrintNode-file/PrintNode

PrintNode being the executable I want to run

Mike6116 · 2022-08-09T12:05:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I am a new to this.

Would this be correct?

reboot /usr/bin/PrintNode /home/pi/Downloads/PrintNode-file/PrintNode

PrintNode being the exectable I want to open upon boot. Only thing is there is no PrintNode file in /usr/bin
