Just explained in a podcast why I think classic outbound is "dead" & the future of the SDR role. Here were some of the Q&As worth mentioning: 1. Why did I stop supporting outbound sales? A year ago, I cold called Seth Godin (the Jordan Belfort of marketing if you're unfamiliar). I asked him for career advice and he told me to quit my job. "Find a job where the prospects chase you instead of you chasing the prospects." That struck a cord with me and I took the advice blindly. I decided to focus on content creation, webinars, community groups, and organically generating inbound leads. It didn't work for the first 45 days. On day 46 I got my first inbound — then it compounded and worked way better than aimlessly cold calling. There are a lot of orgs over-hiring SDRs and giving them impossible quotas. Then they fire 80% of them 3 months later. Cloudflare, Sendoso, SalesLoft (all of which are good companies) are examples of this. It's irresponsible in 2024 to be reliant on a predictable revenue model. We need to be better as an industry. 2. Will SDRs be around forever? For sure. SDRs will be a thing the same way cashiers are a thing — reduced by headcount and most are disposable. Most SDRs (85% ) will be replaced by Clay agencies, cold email agencies, or other channels that are cheap and scalable. 3. What is the future of the SDR? It will be very, very rare and situational. Instead, we'll have full-cycle AEs who are industry experts and can create, capture, and close their own demand. (If you've ever watched Mad Men, we're talking about a bunch of sellers like Pete). Or SDRs will migrate towards a marketing role that requires outreach. Picture your SDRs being the ones who handle webinars and live events — they are doing activities that create and capture demand simultaneously in real-time. The future is already here, though. Companies are laying off their SalesDev team and realizing that it no longer works and have no idea how to generate pipeline. Erudite is fixing this. Before over-investing in a low performing SDR team, consider a better way: calendly.com/outbounder-jame…

Here's exactly what Erudite is and why it's replacing Outbounder: We'll be helping GTM teams launch in a modern and scalable approach. The traditional way of selling isn't going to get your startup to $1M ARR. This new strategy involves: - Content - Podcasting - Networking - Communities 1. Over the past year, I've been doubling down on social media. The idea was to create a system that allowed me to grow my network and find leads who were in-market to buy. As my content gained more traction, the amount of time solely invested into cold outbound naturally decreased. 2. I've heard success stories from @RetentionAdam & @steveismagnetic on content-led sales/inbound-led outbound and was immediately sold. - Capture higher quality leads - Higher win rates - Brand development - Faster buy-cycles This model works so well because it's organic. I'm all for it. 3. @ChrisWalker171 has explained this on half of his podcast episodes; one of the most fundamental problems in sales & marketing is we spend too much time booking meetings with prospects who are too early in the buying cycle to meet. This is undeniably true for outbound teams and SDRs. We focus too much on booking demos and hitting vanity targets. We fill our pipeline with buyers who are window shopping. 4. The assembly line is broken. Marketing ➜ SalesDev ➜ Closers Each department cares about hitting their own goals. They don't care about helping each other. It's a broken system and creates friction. Here's exactly how we're going to do it: paage.io/6p8vk9y

That's probably the biggest problem revolving SalesDev. SDRs want to capture the demand of leads, but marketing isn't creating enough demand to support SDR teams. SDRs are going to have to move away from just doing 1 thing and start doing 2 . Cold calling alone won't cut it. Cold calling content creation might.

Spoke with a Global Sales Dev Director this morning from an enterprise org. Here’s how his team of 150 SDRs booked demos: The first thing he told me is to ditch traditional lead gen. Account based selling > everything Part 1: Have your marketing team run ads and projects to generate inbounds. This lets you identify: - The most common persona/title - The most common account types - Which competitors to rival - Messaging that can work across sales/marketing/SalesDev Part 2: Take your data and use it to find company lookalikes. From those lookalikes, find the top 3 leads that are likely to buy. If you can identify which leads are using your competitor, target them specifically. Part 3: Have revops score each lead based on fit. The leads are then scored a second time when passed to sales. Lower scored leads go to lower level reps. Higher scored leads go to higher level reps. Part 4: Call through the list and update CRM with proper information. Example: Call the 3 leads from account (A) and gather intel for your CRM. - Other decision makers - Other departments - When they will evaluate - When their contract will expire - Weak spots of their current solution Part 5: Retarget accounts/leads and multithread religiously.

I've had people tell me they wanted to wait because: ➜ Vacations ➜ "It's ski season" (happened 2X) ➜ They wanted to "read up" on SalesDev books You already know how these people are going to be. It's lowkey a disqualifier.

If I go to war with the FCC for better cold calling/SalesDev regulations, who’s joining me?

A lot of you ask "where I got the $ for @BetOpenly" I have a staffing company, in Tech / SaaS SalesDev: linkedin.com/posts/ginodonat…

"Salary: 42K" Can we please talk about this? SalesDev, at least if it's done right, should have a 5X return on it. Seems a bit stingy to pay someone $42K, especially for an on-site position. Would expect more from MemoryBlue. Even the OTE is something to shrug at. Couldn't have made it a 50/50 plan at least? ———— PRO TIP TO ASPIRING SDRS: Apply at companies with a low/medium headcount (< 200) and have excess revenue. - You'll unlikely get laid off - You'll have time to grow into your role - You'll get paid decently right off the bat Revenue/Headcount = Success Variable (The higher the success variable, the better the job will be)
