Notable Quotes:
“In my experience, I think a mix of getting your calls done, leaving voicemails, reaching out to people on social and then doing highly personalized email? That’s what we find that doing a smaller number of those—but each of them having value—that’s what gets us to our goals on a daily basis.”
– Jay Tuel
Brief Summary
One of the things that we’ve been seeing become less of a unicorn position of is a VP-level position in sales development.

In this episode of The Sales Development Podcast, we have VP of Sales Development Jay Tuel to talk about how we can up-level our sales development game in a fun way that uplifts everyone on the team.
