Jay Glenn is the founder of Jay Glenn Agency, where he helps B2B companies build financially sustainable SDR programs. After witnessing mass SDR layoffs in 2022, Jay developed a suite of P&L calculators that have become essential tools for SDR leaders proving ROI to their executives.

We discuss:

- Why 2022 was the wake-up call for SDR financial accountability

- The SDR P&L Calculator — walkthrough of inputs, outputs, and the 7.91x return benchmark

- The $50K ACV threshold for sustainable SDR models (and why lower ACVs fail)

- Customer lifecycle as the most underrated profit lever for SDR teams

- When to hire SDRs vs. when to invest in product and full-cycle AEs

- The Headcount Gap Calculator for modeling scale decisions

- Why inbound and outbound need separate conversion rate assumptions

- How to present SDR financials to your board (with or without good news)
