Could you elaborate on why full cycle? Thanks Bittersweet!

In my opinion owning that relationship from start to finish eliminates any gaps that can slow momentum or cost you a sale. It probably is going to mean less demos and I realize that. But the customer experience and conversion rate are much better. I don’t have good data behind that off hand, but that’s what I see.

I totally agree on customer experience! Sometimes the data goes against that so kudos to you!

Depends on the sale and product.  I ran full cycle in more transactional sales and smaller tech companies. Now in the big software space with SE to explain function, i prefer the SDR to qualify as the deeper the cycle goes an AE can only own maybe 20 deals at a time, companies die if no prospecting can happen.

Their ability to leverage their prospect's candor, not sound like they are reading off a sheet, and trigger cues to follow built out rebuttals for common objections and complaints.
