As an SDR, you will be expected to research target accounts, identify key decision-makers, and engage with them through various channels such as email, phone calls, and social media. You will use CRM tools to track your outreach and follow up consistently to nurture leads through the sales funnel.
Success in this role requires persistence, creativity, and the ability to handle rejection professionally. You should be comfortable making cold calls, writing compelling emails, and adapting your approach based on the prospect’s needs and responses.
