Frontline Coaching & Skill Development 

• In-the-Trenches Mentorship: Conduct weekly live call-coaching sessions, call recording audits (e.g., via Gong), and email messaging reviews. 

• Technical Buyer Alignment: Teach reps how to navigate complex enterprise deals and hold high-value conversations with technical buyers. 

• Career Pathing: Establish clear performance benchmarks and growth tracks, preparing top-performing BDRs for future roles within the organization. 

Operational Rigor & Program Accountability 

• Own the Outbound Pipeline Number: Take complete accountability for meeting and exceeding monthly and quarterly Sales Accepted Opportunity targets. 

• Metrics & Funnel Optimization: Track and analyze key performance indicators to continually optimize program ROI. 

• Pipeline Hygiene & Qualification: Enforce strict qualification frameworks (e.g. BANT) and CRM discipline to ensure high-quality handoffs to Account Executives. 

Cross-Functional GTM Strategy 

• Marketing & ABM Alignment: Partner closely with Marketing to align outbound plays with active marketing campaigns and target account lists. 

• AE Feedback Loops: Establish tight alignment with Enterprise Account Executives to ensure smooth account handoffs, territory optimization, and strategic multi-threading.

• Experience: 3+ years of experience building, managing, or leading a BDR/SDR team in an enterprise B2B SaaS environment.

• Track Record as a Builder: Demonstrated success recruiting top sales talent, scaling a team, and taking complete ownership of pipeline goals. 

• Data-Driven & Accountable: Able to diagnose funnel bottlenecks, iterate on playbooks, and optimize activity-to-pipeline conversion rates.
