If my AE closed a $20k deal I cold sourced, can I put that on the win wire?

Noob question, but I haven't updated any wins cuz I figured since the AEs close, I don't actually "close". I did get on the person for weeks on end, calling, emailing, and calling again, but my AE actually did the closing.


He recently closed the deal for $20k and I'm wondering, can I count that as a win on the win wire?

Does that count as a win for me on the win wire?

Win wire FAQ:

“What if I don’t close deals in my role (e.g. SDR)?”

The Bravado Team is expanding the feature for all sales roles. You set up a kickass qualified meeting? Don’t worry, you will be celebrated. In the meantime, enjoy reading some deal stories from your AE friends."

Well I was about to come guns blazing on AEs not giving their SDRs enough respect, but I guess the rules are clear.

Also if you are an AE, throw a bone to your SDR on deals they opened (spoiler you'll get a harder working sdr)

Based on my understanding of the Win Wire, that doesn’t seem to be the intended purpose but I recall this being brought up early on in its launch and this was discussed.

Personally, I think it would be great to let SDRs document their achievements related to prospecting accounts that have closed but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Id say if you explain how you helped close it, I’d say it’s fine. We still don’t have one for BDRs

If you did the hard work and the AE just closed, IMO I'd say yes. Well done for getting the work started.

Ok, but real talk, when you guys were SDR's, how did you report your wins when applying for AE roles? % of quota achieved, $ closed in the pipeline etc? 

I ask because ideally I'd like to apply for AE roles sometime next year and want to know how to keep track of these opps I create.

Best chance at AE is internal promotion. I'm sure it happens, but personally I've never heard of a SDR getting an AE job at a new company. Chances are the company that will hire a SDR into an AE role is desperate and not somewhere you want to work.

Appreciate the response. I'll keep that in mind if I do look outside my company.

Outreach was hiring AEs directly from SDR roles at other companies at least back when I was an SDR. Couple people I knew jumped over and were successful. A lot rarer but there’s companies out there who will hire you.
