Notable Quotes:
“Sales development, as you know, sits right between sales and marketing and can be that bridge. An effective SDR manager is able to do that effectively. And it’s not easy—it’s definitely a full-time job everyday, all day.”
– Derrick Williams
Brief Summary
Doing sales development work—especially outbound sales—is hard. It’s a demanding job that takes up a lot of time and is mentally and emotionally taxing. Nonetheless, it’s a rewarding job. Knowing it’s a difficult job, would you entertain the prospect of a tool that can make the grind easier? To elaborate on how that happens, we’re talking to Derrick Williams, Director of Mid-Market Sales over at HG Insights.
