    Do I need an SDR?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 09:37 AM PST

    First, I'm sure there's good content on this so please feel free to just provide a link. Sifted through a lot and have yet to really see what I need.

    Question: We need more qualified meetings! Shocker right :) Do I need an SDR, ISR or Business Development Rep/Manager?

    Background: As I reeled in several accounts over the last 10 months my bandwidth has shrunk to focus on new meetings. That's said, we're looking at bringing on a resource for my massive territory, and whoever succeeds will ultimately earn themself a piece of the big territory.

    I have up to 1500 prospect accounts, and about 60 target accounts. (Too many frankly which is part of challenge).

    We have a massive database which presents the challenge of "where do we focus our time and who's worth going after" - so part of the work is simply profiling the companies and qualifying them.

    From there I do a buck shot approach... mass emails to "soften" the market and see who's engaging in content. From there I follow up with who is engaging and I ask for/land the meeting.

    In parallel, I focus on target accounts (sniper approach) with more specific and targeted content, and follow up with calls to set meetings.

    I just don't have the time required anymore.

    Ideally: I stay on our top 10 largest targets to break in, and my sales support massages the rest of the target list and softens the greater cold market.

    Do I need an SDR? ISR? BDM?

    What metrics do I measure them on aside from just getting meetings?

    A little lost. Tyia.

    Sales qualifications?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 02:51 AM PST

    Hi all, For someone who is new to the world of sales I'm slightly confused. So far my targets have been reached every month (some even exceeded by hitting commission) I've been looking into courses/qualifications and I'm struggling to find any that seem legit or that aren't going to cost in excess of £1,000 for "basic fundamentals" that I'm sure I could find on Youtube for free. Mainly I know that I can find all sales training for free somewhere on the internet, but I'm looking for a respected institution or a known qualification/certificate I can add to my CV as I feel "Youtube self-taught" won't be as impressive aha. Any help or answers are greatly appreciated.

    First Job after University - Business Development Consultant - Oracle Ireland

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:56 AM PST

    From looking around in this sub, it seems that most people are from the U.S.

    However, I have a gotten an offer from Oracle in Ireland as a Business Development Consultant for their CX application. This will be my first job straight out of university.

    Do any of you work at Oracle in Dublin, Ireland or have you worked there in the past? Could you tell me about your experiences? Even if you're from the U.S., would you recommend me going for the job. I have seen that Oracle is good to have on your CV, but how does this compare to, for example, IBM, Salesforce, Microsoft and SAP?

    If I want to build a career in SaaS Sales would this be a good start? Furthermore, if I would want to make a career switch in the future, do the skills transfer well to other jobs?

    Feeling down after not getting even a phone interview for this position..

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:58 AM PST

    I know I'm being silly probably, but feeling bad after receiving no interview for hubspot

    So I applied for a couple account executive positions at hubspot. According to the qualifications, I felt I was a good match- my background is in biotech sales but I have 8 years of experience- all the way from finding and uncovering the opps and cold calling to closing deals and handling the sale even beyond that. I am an inside sales rep so I do everything from home or an office. I got a rejection today for their channel sales executive position ( I had applied for another position as well that I haven't gotten a denial on yet) but I can't help feeling a little down on this. The qualifications don't have anything that says must need software sales experience or this degree or that. So why be denied even an initial phone interview? Maybe just so many people are applying for this place that people with software experience will get priority?

    Do you think adding a countdown timer to in-video ads would make them more effective and how long should video ads be?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:19 AM PST

    If we're doing a 15-30 second ad in a video, do you think it's useful to have a countdown timer so that users know how when the ad is going to end?

    For example, think of the 5 second Youtube preroll ads timer, but without the Skip Ad option since it's a native ad thats part of the video.

    Pros: It reduces anxiety of people feeling like "how long is this pitch going to last" and they might actually just relax and pay attention to the ad since they know exactly when it's going to end.

    Cons: Since they know when it's going to end they will just tune out until the ad ends. Or they might become more focused on the countdown timer than on the ad.

    Another related question: Is 15-30 seconds a good length for an ad?

    Some more Context:

    If it makes a difference, I'm specifically referring to "in house" ads on non-sales related videos.

    For example, when our team does content marketting videos on Youtube, we try to focus on making content that provides value and not come across as too salesy. So we don't include any Call to Actions (CTA) or soft sells in the videos.

    This is good because most people don't enjoy being bombarded with ads, the problem is that those videos don't convert well because there is no CTA.

    We're planning on introducing an "in-house ad" midway through our videos, but we want to do it in a way that won't be too annoying to the viewers. So maybe in a 10 minute video, 5 minutes into the video, we'll have a "This video is sponsored by Atila. Atila is a ..." and then just do a soft sell for 15-30 seconds and then continue with the video.

    My thinking is that people are already used to podcasters and youtubers reading ads in their content and as long as the rest of the content is not an ad people seem to be fine with the occasional ad.

    So I figure that having a countdown timer with the ad will actually make it better for the viewer.

    Anxious about new role in banking sales

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:17 AM PST

    I worked as bank teller for about 3.5 years and was offered a sales role with much better benefits in banking.

    I am a week in for my training with regards to the new role, getting to know the products and operations. I'd say that I have an adequate understanding of banking as well as customer service. But I understand that sales will be a completely different challenge altogether, I am very anxious about starting out this career, afraid that it will be a mistake and failure.

    Anyone here has tips on how to succeed as a banker? I understand that I will be doing a lot of cold calls to set appointments, walk-in customers into the bank would be a bonus as well. Appreciate any sharing that helps!

    Coaching

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 04:02 PM PST

    Hi all. I'm about 6 months into an AE role at a SAAS company. It's a great role but a huge transition from my previous job. I'm doing okay at best but still struggling and loosing deals. Has anyone used a sales coach? Willing to pay but obviously would need to be a fit. My primary pain points are qualification and proving value (my company is expensive vs the competitors). I work within the SF ecosystem. Appreciate any thoughts :)

    Subject lines in cold emails

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 02:09 PM PST

    Hello fellow sales people and happy new years.

    So i wanted to talk a bit about subject lines in cold emails. What do you think is best practice?

    I've had many thoughts on this subject. And also been doing some testing as well. One of my main ones has been "irritated customers" (we sell some software that improves customer service)

    But i'm afraid that it down the line creates a lower level of trust (though i don't have enough data to back this up) What do you guys think?

    How do lead database companies like Apollo.io get all their data? How expensive would it be for a company to do what they do internally and what might that entail?

    Best resources?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 02:56 PM PST

    Hi r/sales!

    I'm a new SDR in SaaS and here's the deal, I suck at handling objections. I freeze up and fold under each objection. I want to get better and I know that I can. My question for guys is how did you find what to say? What are some good resources for objection handling? What works for you and what doesn't?
