Hey guys,
I joined a new Sales organisation and am so far really enjoying my new position.
My superior is very fond of me and involves me in the decision making when it comes to the SDR team as he wants me to take charge of the Outbound Sales unit down the road.
So far, we have had quite the success with our multi-channel outreach and building our own "brand" on LinkedIn. Most of us post once or twice a week on LinkedIn via our private profiles, and the engagement has been quite good.
This week, my superior told me that he wants to take this "Social selling" approach to a whole new level by forcing the entire Sales team to post daily on LinkedIn via their private profiles.
There has been a massive backlash as most of our Salespeople don't want to post daily but instead only once or twice a week as they feel like this allows them to put out high-quality content.
What do you guys think about it? What would you do if you were an SDR working for our organisation?
I can understand both sides; however, I believe this goes too far and mentioned that during our last call. However, he looks pretty adamant on the topic and would fire people for not doing it.
