Saw 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?

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

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.
