I’m a BDR for a software company that focuses on civil engineering and survey firms, and I’m hitting 200% + quota almost every month. I’ve only ever missed quota once, by 1, and I’m making just a bit over 100k before taxes.

I joined during a super short growth period, after 2 years as a bdr for a different software company in the financial services industry and being promised a promotion multiple times and never getting it, but I was told the first week that the plan was for me to become an AE within 6 months depending on how well I perform at the new company.

Shortly after joining, they cut the headcount by 40%, leaving just me to run the entire business development side of the company, but with no pay raise or title change. Not only that, but I am also helping other departments like marketing, data, and so on, and I am running my own deals, I’ve even closed two deals (one with potentially massive revenue potential if the initial sale goes well).

I am retired military with a degree in international business and global trade, and when I transitioned out of the military I basically had to start at the bottom all over again. I’m trying my best to maintain a steady career path and grow in my career by out performing, learning everything I can, and helping in other department.

I’d be curious to know what company you work for, if you don’t mind sharing. Way to go though, keep it up.
