How should I go about my SDR relationship?
We have a small org and the sales director doesn't do much for the SDRs. I basically feel like I am my SDR's manager. In my last role my SDR was highly managed by the SDR team. Cadences, metrics, lead generation, tactics, etc. all managed by a team but now I am that person. I'm used to it being a colleague relationship where we kind of work for eachother, not a direct report relationship.
Main Q's:
- What should our 1:1 consist of? Normally we just talk shop, give feedback, strategize. I feel like it is somewhat stale.
- What can I be doing for my SDR? I hate asking them this question.
- How often should we chat? We have a weekly 30min 1:1 but I've seen other teams that meet twice a week, can't imagine why.
- I like to outbound so how should we manage that notion when we share accounts? I don't like the idea of two people working the same account but I'm open to that if there is a way to make it work.
Thanks in advance! (and sorry but having a director that provides no overall strategy is tough)
