Not sure I've ever seen that kind of ratio--I'd be interested to hear back regarding how they are split and how many actually help AEs vs do outbound/marketing based tasks.

This is GOLD! I accepted a position with a company that also said they had a similar team set up & I learned very quickly there was no SDR team. Super cool this held true for you!

So irritating when companies pull this shit, what do they expect to happen when new hires realize they were lied to

Right! I knew something was off when I started getting calendar invites from the sales manager for 'cold calling blocks'

Holy shit, weโ€™re fintech and thereโ€™s a lot of prospects but weโ€™re pretty niche. That ratio is insane. How long is your sales cycle?

The beauty of this product is it's applicable to finance teams of pretty much any business modelย

Thatโ€™s awesome! Iโ€™m thinking about getting into different verticals too but our TAM is huge so there hasnโ€™t been a big push.

Can I ask what the respective comp packages look like?ย 

Also, would you say the product is really good/easy to sell? I don't mean that anyone could sell it, just more about market potential and fit.ย 

Lastly, do you guys have some supercharged marketing engine that does 0 lead filtering, so that to get through the volume you need a million SDR's?

From the little bit that I know at this point it's a solid product positioned super well on both a pricing and implementation point.ย 

As far as comp I only know what mine is which is 250 OTE at a 50/50 split with 70% of the current AE's on track to hit OTE

Nope, it's pretty early stage though so I'm hoping it'll be my springboard to enterpriseย

250 OTE for mid market? What area are you in, that seems insane. Congrats btw

Keep us updated, curious if you end up finding out itโ€™s a way to churn and burn the ineffective ones

Will do, literally too new to tell. I've been introduced to the team is about as far as I've gone. Don't officially start for 2 weeks but the SDR team on Slack shows the numbers to be true

What! 3 sdrs/Ae!

The AEs must not have to prospect at all. How are the SDRs doing performance wise?
