I know that people will have conflicting views on this but I have run into one too many AEs that try to act like they are the manager of the SDR team or get too involved with the SDR team itself. Often times, they give awful advice on prospecting but man, it just ruins the entire sales org when an SDR has a Manager on one end and then an AE on the other trying to play role of manager.
Most of the times, I find that the AE cannot sell to save their lives and is just a power hungry maniac trying to get a manager title to cover up for their own closing flaws.
And I probably pissed some people off with that.....
