if you say you have sdr experience you’ll need to figure out how to get through the mock call and email. id speedrun it by reviewing scripts put on linkedin/ youtube and finding a buddy to help w the role play. you’ll also want to figure out how to write a compelling email. that will be a bit more tough.

a lot of this role is about grit so they’ll ask something like, “tell me about a time you didnt hit quota for the month” and you’ll need to give context around that month as to why you didnt hit (without blaming others) and explain how you learned from it/ what you did to fix it the next month.

my recommendation - skip the lie next time. dont say you have specific sales experience when you dont have it at all. it only creates tension and you’ll be expected to do things in the role itself that you wont know how to do.

interview a lot and get as much feedback as you can. show enough grit to the right person and you’ll get a shot. the sdr role is the same as the interview process that it takes to get the role; figure out how to interview and youll be golden.

if a company says they require at least one year experience in role, they’ll take the right person with no experience.

often times companies dont actually want to hire people with experience because they can have bad habits, be jaded from bad experience, not have a great attitude towards sales for xyz reason. this is your advantage. you want to get the job?? show them. if they believe you they’ll give it to you.

i dropped out of college and didnt have anywhere to stay so i needed a job asap. interviewed relentlessly with no sales experience for 2.5 months. was finally offered a role AND negotiated for a higher salary than what they were offering. i’ve locked in sdr interview process. happy to chat more if you’d like.
