congrats! getting an AE role at hubspot is no easy feat.

From what I have gathered, they have a pretty solid ramp program. so make sure you are following what your leaders are suggesting.

also, dont feel like you have to reinvent the wheel. any problem you face SOMEONE there has overcome it. connect with the top reps and ask for help often.

Inbound BDR
Hey man, if you're working with Tyler P, he is AWESOME. In my previous BDR role he came on as our sales director and was legitimately one of my only helpful managers. Definitely build a solid foundation with him. He's going to always help with your enablement, any actions items, and being as transparent as possible when it comes to performance evaluations and meeting your team goals. I didn't have the most amazing experience at the company we were at together, but I only have the most positive things to say about him and the utmost respect for him. Richard Harris is also obviously an incredibly resource for HubSpot selling. Richard and Tyler are pure gold when it comes to leading a sales team and enablement.

What’s the best companies to reach out to for SDR / BDR roles for a career changer looking for solid base comp and decent OTE (financial advisor made 120k last year 3 years hit quota every year cold calling running the sales process so I think I have relevant AE skills but I get taking a step down since I have no SAAS sales skills. (However I have 1.5 years of IT recruiting experience where I also crushed quota and learned a bit about IT broadly) Thanks
