AE Prospecting KPIs

Curious on what other Enterprise AEs are expected to produce as far as KPIs on prospecting. Yeah we have SDRs but they only do marketing inbound leads. 

New company has 150 dials and 250 emails a week, all while working with 30 companies in your bag. (This is a SaaS product)

I've had expectations at other companies with 200 total outreach/week, but had 500 companies to work in my territory. 

Am I overthinking that these numbers aren't realistic long term?

That's a little much for an Enterprise AE 🤔

My thought is I can only piss off so many people with over saturation before I burn an account

400 total outreach is pretty high for enterprise. I am at 150 contacts (LI, Calls, Email)

Seems a little high, what happens when you actually start developing relationships with your clients? this will take more time.

Always seems off putting to me when they hiring SDRs to only manage inbound leads. Any monkey can manage those. They should go to an AE Manager than straight to an AE for enagement.

I'm not held to any activity metrics. But I am held to sales.
It's all about them dollars my friend.

Yeah that’s the idea but if you have to focus on quantity over quality to hit your metric, you are just pissing of potential people that you could’ve spent more time strategically selling into
