Explicit content warning

03/30/21 • 41 min

After years of following different paths,
Leslie Venetz (founder of sales team builder, and top B2B thought leader to follow in 2021!) took the sales off-ramp and never looked back.
This is where she would develop a passion for her career, find her voice in sales content on LinkedIn and TikTok, breaking glass ceilings and inspiring young women to do same!

In this discussion we will cover

the difference between followers and fans,
the state of sales content,
calling bullshit on sales “thought-leaders” who are too far removed from the role,
the rise of the female and diversity in sales content.
Who to follow for sales advice and why you should seek out content that you identify with, & much more!

We are who we are... Just Lowly SDR’s / Season 1 Finale & Recap

On this episode (Season 1 Finale) of The Lowly SDR, Tyler and I sit down to wrap up season one and reflect on the crazy year of 2020. The good, the lowly, and the mentally exhausting. A year filled with highs and lows for both of us. Most of our highs coming from the incredible support we’ve received from the show, how that impacted our lives, and the struggles we’ve faced both personally and professionally as a result.

We then highlight some hard working SDR’s / BDR’s / AE’s that have been fans of the show (Dalton Brown, Daniel Abramov, & Clay Moller)
Touching on some of the struggles they’ve been facing -

Starting in a new role / new company
How to work within a company’s tech stack (or lack there of)
How investing in yourself, through coaching / training / new tools, is key to being successful in any role or industry
How sales “boot camps” like “PreHired” can set you up for success
How to navigate a friendly cold call from “small talk” to close / next steps / demo set

We close the show by discussing what the show will look moving forward. Some changes that will be made going into season two. New projects and shows to look out for from ABUVEGROUND in 2021.

None of this would of been possible without all of our fans. We really appreciate you guys sticking by our sides through this journey. Looking forward to pushing the boundaries and status quo of SaaS sales and Sales Development content in 2021.

Love you all!

What Doesn't Kill Us... Makes Us. ft. Gabrielle "GB" Blackwell, SDR Manager at Gong.io

Today we have on Gabrielle "GB" Blackwell, SDR Manager at Gong.io and host of the SDR Hotline (Sales Hacker), for a "real a$$" conversation about her path to becoming an SDR manager, why being an SDR helped her shape her management style, and why sales is an overall tough job.
But... what doesn't kill us... makes us.
***WARNING***
There seemed to be some distortion and feedback from GB's mic from time to time. I did my best to make it sound as good as possible. Hope it doesn't ruin the conversation for anyone because this interview is a good one!
