The Sales Development Bootcamp is designed for:
- Sales Development Reps (SDR’s)
- Business Development Reps (BDR’s)
- Salespeople who prospect.
- Sales or Marketing leaders who want to build an optimized approach to generating, qualifying and following up on sales leads.
It is not another sales process. It is about the details of leading these initial sales conversations.
It is not technique-only. It is an opportunity to update your mental map; questioning and changing fundamental beliefs about engaging in the early phase of the buyer’s journey.
It is not theory. It is rooted in a novel level of research that breaks through sales myths and provides proven sales development tactics you can walk out and use the next day.
