The Lowly SDR Podcast - Sales & Dating: Why Discovery Is Key
play

03/08/22 • 30 min

What’s up all you lowly lovely people!
While you probably shouldn't take my advice on dating... I recorded this right after valentines day and it seemed fitting.
I do consider myself to be pretty good at sales and you know how they say life is sales? Well, after getting back into the dating game, I realized how similar they actually are... for good or bad this is what I've learned.
This episode is a little bit of a rant. Would love to hear what you think about me doing more solo episodes like this. If you hated it. Don’t worry... we have a ton of exciting interviews lined up and ready to release! Regardless, connect with me on linkedin and say what’s up 🙏

The end of The Lowly SDR Podcast as you know it...
2021 was... well 2021. I'm sure just like a lot of you, I was met with huge obstacles, loss, and challenges. With all those L's... I saw some W's too.
Abuveground hit revenue goals I never thought possible. I learned and improved on skills like SEO, Website Development, Video Editing & Videography.
Honestly, 2021 was shaping out to be an amazing year in the beginning. I even was releasing podcasts. Working on other podcasts I was excited to show all of you. Doing a ton of interviews. I was in love. My business was booming and then boom.
IT ALL CAME CRASHING DOWN.
I lost one of my best friends (James Watts RIP), had to walk away from a bad relationship, and lost a ton of business... all in about 1-2 months.
It was rough. I became very unstable mentally. and got very physically ill.
This is the thing though. I've been through some $*!t in my life.
Oct 25th 2021 marked my 5 years clean from painkillers and when you've seen rock bottom... There's only one direction to go, and that's up.
The Lowly SDR and Abuveground are the embodiment of this sentiment.
"Wipe the dust off your shirt when you stumble or get down. Gotta keep it moving til your head is Abuveground"
I'm done crying and feeling sorry for myself. It's time to get to work. I'm starting fresh. New approach to the show. New topics. New guests. Bringing back fan favorites. All that good stuff!
I want to talk about life outside of sales and still give you valuable advice on how to be a better salesperson / professional.
Season 3 is here and I'm feeling great about it. How about you?

After hearing about the new video tool (like Vidyard, Loom, BombBomb, ect) but w/ the ability to scale personalized video using AI... I took a demo & was blown away. I’ve been working closely w/ their team ever since. I truly believe this will be the next big tech in B2B SaaS. But, just like with any new technology, comes new challenges. And with great power, comes great responsibility.
In this ep. we will cover:

  • Why personalized video is so effective
  • The challenges behind scaling personalization

10 years ago Ding left a comment on a youtube video of mine.
Little did we know... we would meet again in SaaS with newfound skills and common goals of starting our own creative agencies. Ding Zheng, founder of SalesRap.io and EventShark.io took his skills as a hip-hop artist, the art of freestyling, and content creation and embarked on uncharted waters - helping B2B SaaS companies stand out and book more deals with rap. To this date, SalesRap.io has made him well over 6 figures! His newest venture in the event space is also a culmination of all the skills he's perfected as one of the biggest disrupters in B2B and he's coming to a city near you. I'm honored to call this guy a friend and business partner. Get ready for one of the most interesting Lowly SDR interviews yet!

Today we welcome "the ronin saas" sword-swinging, B2B sales tech wizard, that can build out your salesforce instance or bounce your a$$ outa of a club (if you’re getting out of line)Eric Dabearsforce Steeves (The Co-Owner of PKA solves)
In this episode, we talk about the unpredictable path that lead Eric and me to run our own business, how we sharpened our "sales blade" through "untraditional methods", our struggles with mental health, and how our love and background in martial arts taught us valuable life lessons.
My main takeaways:
  • Believe in yourself and draw from your experiences
  • The people at the top, the ones who actually make decisions - don’t only care about pedigree or fancy resumes
  • Been through some stuff? Did you recover? Because the rise to success isn’t a straight line. It’s how you pick yourself up and persevere that is going to impress the people who actually matter
  • Struggle with mental health? You're not alone. Eric opens up (for the first time publicly) about dealing with PTSD and his struggles with mental health. I really appreciated him sharing this with us and hope his story will help our listeners who might be going through something similar.
If you're struggling with mental health. Please seek professional help. If you need someone to talk to, or need advice on how to go about seeking help - please reach out to either me or Eric Steeves. We'd be happy to help in any way that we can.
