SDR to Strategic AE - Several years in B2B Sales
I am so excited that you are considering a career in Sales! I believe it is a critical skill that every professional should have.
I started my career as an entry-level BDR, and worked my way up the Sales ladder over the years. I was then an SDR, then a Small Business Account Executive, a Mid-Market Account Executive, and finally a Strategic Account Executive. Through my time, I earned President's Club (top performers) every year I was eligible. I was also featured in Salesforce's "Story of Sales" film alongside industry giants and Harvard Business School professors. While I am no longer in Sales, I am now a People Partner supporting Sales, and thus interface with the Sales org daily.
I can walk you through the reality/day-to-day of a Sales role, the enjoyable parts and challenging parts, and provide interview tips.
