UPDATE: Manager resigned. CMO just put time on my calendar. Wish me luck!

My manager just resigned and recommended me as a replacement. My CMO set up a meeting this afternoon. Either getting fired or getting promoted.

After 5 years of being a BDR, a promotion would be a huge win. Don't want to get too exited though....

Wish me luck boys! Meeting's at 4, so either happy drinking or sad drinking at 5.


UPDATE: I'm so stoked hangover has no effect. I'm now team lead! And I will be managing SMB deals. Thanks for all the support guys! I'm very excited to learn new stuff for the first time in a while in my career. If you're in a dead-end BDR role, keep the faith and join a company where everyone is getting fired and you'll get promoted soon enough.

Oh, great, you're here. Maybe if he doesn't get promoted he'll get a $70k managerial role with you.

Somehow I'm already making 70k base for making a few cold calls every day. Capitalism is amazing...

Dude, you’re gonna get it for sure, or at the very least you’re in contention. Get that sad drinking BS out of your head and focus on making the best impression in the history of the company. Opportunities like this don’t come by often. Carpe diem that shit.

If he doesn't outright make the offer, you should make the ask. Don't leave anything on the table.

4 on a Wednesday, not a bad sign. Maybe he wants you to show him on the doll where the manager hurt you.

You might consider getting your salary negotiation ready (specifically stats and $ figures). I've always tried to negotiate bigger salary increases when getting promoted. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. But worth a shot.
