Connect with AE’s and their management to understand their expectations and setting realistic expectations. Get the SDRs comfortable with calling as early as possible and working with AEs on how to best qualify a meeting as early as possible.

I'd say this is the most concrete answer I've read. I'd only add to stay humble.

Just said in another thread.

Focus on context to your metrics - blind numbers are a dangerous game that shitty-mid tier SDR's will gamify to stay under the radar.
