Do you have a SDR Playbook collecting dust on a shelf or lost somewhere in Google Docs? Imagine a sports team trying to play without a playbook. Doesn’t happen. Who owns your SDR Playbook… marketing, product, sales? Everybody needs one to collect the product info, the winning scripts and the frameworks. But nobody seems to use it Steve Mayernick is on a mission to put your playbook into use with Guru, which sits inside Slack and offers knowledge right were your team works, in real time. Since you’re in Slack anyways, to me this makes a lot of sense. Check out our conversation on playbooks, the Slack revolution and putting learning in to 2017 on this week’s Sales Development Podcast! And be sure to join Steve and me at The Sales Development Conference on September 21st. We just had to expand the Conference size due to overcapacity. There is HUGE demand, so get in there today before it sells out! #salesdev17Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-sales-technology-podcast--1947957/support.

Every day, Sales Development professionals are striving to engage prospects and set quality sales appointments. However we get through a day, or week or month without any results, and can get into a downward spiral. You start getting negative and depressed. What if you could totally flip that around? What if each day was a learning experience, and your main goal was to collect as many rejections as possible? So you could hit and exceed your goal every day because let’s face it, rejections are everywhere. Sound weird? Join my guest this week Andrea Waltz as we dive into the “Go for No” philosophy: by flipping your mindset, instead of burn out, you get excitement, improvement and better results. Have an open mind on this one! PS did you get your tickets for The Sales Development Conference on September 21st yet? We’re 50% sold out and Early Bird ends Friday.
