What You'll Actually Do

Time Breakdown

Cold Calling (50%) | Email/LinkedIn (25%) | Research (15%) | Team Meetings (10%)

Key Activities

  • Cold Calling: 60-80 dials per day from your desk. You're surrounded by the sales team so there's energy (and pressure) to perform.
  • Email Sequences: Send personalized sequences between calls. Track opens and replies in the CRM.
  • In-Person Collaboration: Walk over to AEs to ask about meeting quality, get feedback on messaging, learn from their calls.
  • Daily Standups: Report your numbers each morning - calls made, connects, meetings booked. Everyone knows how you're tracking.

The Honest Reality

What's Hard

  • You're in the office 5 days a week - no flexibility to work from home when you need focus time
  • Everyone can hear your calls, including when you stumble or get rejected harshly
  • Rockwall is 30-40 minutes from Dallas proper - it's a commute if you live in the city
  • The energy of being in-office can be motivating or draining depending on team dynamics

What Success Looks Like

  • Consistently booking your monthly meeting quota
  • Getting positive feedback from AEs that your meetings are qualified properly
  • Moving up to AE or senior SDR role after 12-18 months
