šŸŽ™ļø šŸ  SDR/BDRs should sell like Real Estate Agents.

We will need to change several things about our approach to outbound in 2024 and beyond.One of the things I think we will see is a shift away from some SDR roles, and those morph into MDR-type roles.That is more marketing-focused roles (Market Development Rep) and less about getting the meeting at all costs, which is the current SDR (Sales Development Rep) type role.My local Real Estate companies are experts at this MDR approach. Two companies in particular in my local area make an effort to call me every couple of months, and we have a 2 - 5 minute conversation.Join our live stream on Nov 14 to learn what outbound will look like in 2024.Catch all versions of me here.https://linktr.ee/markmcinnes LinkedIn profileVIP sales mailerTactical Pipeline GrowthBOSS Podcast1 on 1 Consulting

Let me give you permission to sell.There's a new tactic being used in outreach. It's where part of your message begs not to be marked as spam or not to reply if you don't like the outreach.I think it's weak.I predict it'll become very popular in the next 6 months.What should you do instead?Lower the volume of your outreach and increase your relevance.Use the "Because of the fact that...""It just made sense that.."Get the full run down over at...Catch all versions of me here.https://linktr.ee/markmcinnes LinkedIn profileVIP sales mailerTactical Pipeline GrowthBOSS Podcast1 on 1 Consulting
