This week’s guest may have finally cracked the code on putting the ultimate Sales Development program together.

His emphasis: people development. Victor Baglio of BrightTalk wants you to join his program and graduate out of it as fast as he can make it.

He’ll push you to accelerate your growth and expand your skills as an SDR so you can go on to Account Executive and other positions if that’s your goal as soon as you can.

Any forward thinking professional would benefit from being a protege of Victor!

We at Tenbound are excited to partner with BrightTalk to set up the new Sales Development Mastermind Channel on BrightTalk, stay tuned for more announcements on that.
