Current BDR here, just soaking up the sun here in the cold calling trenches. Been at my large cybersecurity company for 9 months now, and every last BDR has been promoted to the channel side of the business focusing on your territory's partners, distributors and resellers. We operate on a three tiered model going through resellers & distributors. If I were to take a position as Channel Devlopment Representative or Channel Account Manager, how possible is it to transition back to an end-user facing role or Account Executive position? What about if you'd be pursuing AE roles externally, does Channel experience look good for someone interviewing for AE positions?
How possible is it to go from Channel Sales to Account Executive?
