If you’re an SDR Invest in your AE/SDR relationship Understand their goals, what accounts they like, and how they prioritize accounts, etc. Learn from them Work hard for them Help them as much as you can Few relationships are more important to your success in the role and at the company.
cannot speak highly enough about healthy AE/SDR relationships literally can be make or break
Such a breathe of fresh air amongst all the ai SDR feed.
when you do this well I've seen AEs become advocates for the SDRs career progression
If you want to get to that AE role you have to BE that role. So understanding their goals, and everything they like/don’t like will help you embody those things to be successful as an SDR but also have a head start as an AE
Totally agree! The most important relationship that can really help flourish your career
Treat your AE as your prospect! They are just as much a part of process and overall success. 👏🏻
I could not agree more, Elliot. Building a strong relationship with AEs is crucial for SDRs. Understanding their priorities and goals not only enhances collaboration but also drives success for the entire team. Investing time in these connections pays off in the long run.
Definitely agree. Your AE is like a personal trainer, just by listening you can save yourself years of struggle.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this with us Elliot Kircher

6moSaw a great post from Mike Gallardo about SDRs tagging in AEs for outbound efforts which showed traction, but did not result in a meeting. Has your team been using any of these tactics?
