PASSION

Being an SDR can be tough. On a daily basis, you deal with constant rejection. To be successful, you must have passion for the product and sales itself. 

CREATIVITY

We live in the world of hyper personalisation and educated buyers. Great SDRs must be able to adapt to the changing landscape and think for themselves.

COACHABILITY

Coachable SDRs have the potential to be incredibly successful in any position, as they are capable of exponentially improving their performance with the help of others.

DRIVE

It takes serious grit and determination to fight through the difficulties and rejections involved in Sales. This is why drive is a requirement for any aspiring SDR.

CURIOUS

SDRs need to be curious, they have to want to try new things, find out what happens and experiment, and then optimise the results.

TEAM PLAYER

Great SDR teams are made of team players, not lone wolves. Sharing what is working, giving feedback and collaborating is a great way to build on overall SDR team success.

ASPIRATION

If you have serious ambitions and plans to become a VP of Sales, you need to start somewhere. For employers, this is good knowledge that the candidate is serious and will do what it takes to get there.

KEEN LEARNER

Being a keen learner is very important for any SDR or future sales development leader. Even CEOs continue to learn on a daily basis, so it’s key you have a willingness to learn.
