Trying to make the jump from being a nearly 3-year outbound BDR at mid-stage start ups but it seems near impossible to land an AE position without AE experience.
Should I try to get a full-cycle position outside of software sales? I'm guessing there is much more saturation in aaS than in more traditional sales roles, so I thought it might be a good idea to broaden my horizons, get some experience, then come back into software sales down the road?
I'm trying to think of anything to avoid being a BDR again. Would love any advice, thank you.
