Hey All, need some advice. I recently started as an AE for Adtech company - back in March. Through the onboarding process, I've realized I don't want to be in the Advertising industry. I've coached college soccer for the past 5 years prior to getting back into the corporate world. I have a about a year of experience as an SDR (SaaS). I know the potential of my OTE (may have been blinded by it during the interview process) but I miss my soccer coaching days. I had a decent SDR manager and think I would make a good one. Problem is - I just started this job and I don't think I have enough sales experience to land a SDR manager position.
I'm wondering how to handle this new position and what route to take to try to become a SDR manager? Suck it up and gain the experience/money? Get more SDR experience? Apply for SDR manager position now? Ultimately, I would like to get back into SaaS but I'm unsure of what the best route is and have come to the internet for help.
Thanks
