Are you leading an SDR team, or thinking about stepping into that role? In the latest Redefining Outbound episode, David Wilkins joins our VP of Sales Development, Catherine Olivier, to explore what truly separates good SDR leadership from great. Here are a few key takeaways: 💡 Don’t make changes too fast. Take your first 30 days to observe, listen, and understand the business before acting. 💡 Lead from the front. SDRs need to see you in the trenches, not just hear from you in 1:1s. 💡 Focus on outcomes, not just activity. Great teams are built around impact — it’s about developing people, not just tracking dials. Link to the full episode in the comments 👇

Ever wonder what it’s like being an SDR in Boston? Erin’s here to show you — bike rides to work, Dunkin’ runs, cold calls, AE-SDR collaboration. 🍩📞 This is the US edition of our “Day in the Life” SDR series. It's a peek into what sales really looks like across regions. As we’ve learnt from building out our International Expansion Zone, where you work massively impacts how you work. Local buying behaviours. Outreach styles. Team culture. Every market brings its own flavour, and understanding those nuances is key to a successful go-to-market motion. 👇 Dive into the International Expansion Zone, linked in the comments.

🌍 Same job. Same company. Important differences. We asked our SDRs around the world to film a "day in their life", and the results? A clear reminder that where you work plays a huge role in how you work. From local buying behaviours to communication styles and outreach tactics, each region brings its own nuances. And when you’re expanding into new markets, those differences can make or break your go-to-market strategy. That’s why we created the International Expansion Zone — a resource hub for businesses scaling into new markets (especially Europe). Inside, you'll find: 👉 Market deep-dives on the UK, France, and DACH 👉 Interviews with GTM experts already operating in these regions 👉 First-hand insights from SDRs successfully booking meetings Because a one-size-fits-all strategy won’t get you very far. 🔗 Check out the hub: https://lnkd.in/epK-j2us
