I’ve noticed an increase in “gurus” railing on SDR’s for Emails/InMails that they don’t believe are worthy of reply
Yet they’ll take the time to post screenshots shaming the inmail, listing perceived errors including “they didn’t even personalize for me” - “punishing” SDR's by ignoring them because of something like that just seems so precious
I was an SDR @ IBM starting out. It’s hard! 65+ calls every day! It’s tough to personalize every attempt.
It’s a beating. I lost count of the times I was told “please take me off your list”, “please stop calling” and far worse. I’m so glad the shaming trend hadn’t begun then
I would be way more impressed if these people shared a screenshot of them responding with some coaching points
Let’s take LinkedIn from a shaming, like-baiting, dumping ground to a peer-to-peer place of coaching and learning.
There are some great sales coaches out there. Now more than ever, we need their willingness to freely give proven tips and advice. Shaming people is a bad look on ones own brand
Maybe we try this:
1- decline politely
2- offer feedback
3- closed loop f/u - 30 days out?
We were all new at one point; lets have some empathy for those starting out during tough times. #covidcoaching
