134: Identifying, Training and Managing Sales Development Talent

In an age where LinkedIn is at our fingertips, building a stellar team of sales development representatives may seem easy, but it is far more complex than it appears. There is much more to the task than simply scrolling through people’s prior experience, recruiting the most qualified candidates and leaving them to their own devices.

Rather, defining and identifying key characteristics is vital - but that’s only the first step in creating a successful sales team. Your job is not only to find the right fit for the job, but also to shape and mentor them to truly reach their potential.

In this episode of B2B Revenue Acceleration, our host Aurelien Mottier (Co-Founder and CEO at Operatix) sits down with Dave Sherry (Senior Manager Business Development & Sales – EMEA at Gong) to discuss identifying, training and managing sales development representatives.

Join the conversation as they dive into what traits make a great SDR and how to find them, as well as how to help them develop their skills.
