Notable Quotes:
“Oftentimes BDRs and SDRs fall into this notion of ‘I just have to book meetings and go
through the motions.’ But if you can think a little bit big picture, think more
about what you’re doing, how this drives the business objectives, then you will
become truly invaluable and that’s going to help you drive your career.”
– Cecilia Frye
“If you can look at the data and use that to understand exactly what’s happening, where
the biggest needs are, and where the gaps are within your business, that’s going
to help you invest in the right places.”
– Cecilia Frye
