I just graduated college and I'm gunning for SDR roles. Anyone ever got anything like this?

Thoughts on this 'take home test?' Is this normal? Advice?

This feels like the baseline of what you'll do in the role.
Please for the love of fuck do not use ChatGPT to do this.
Do some simple research, or read my post about the technique called Why You, Why You Now: https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/outbound-email-tip-of-the-week-why-you-why-you-now
Pick a brand you love, find the right person at the company (Head of eCommerce, Sales, Growth, etc), and follow my format.

That is actually insanely helpful, thank you!
I'd never actually try write it with ChatGPT lmaoo

Lots of SDRs do every day 😂
It's sooooo tempting!
That’s sick you got training from John Barrows. Love his content.
Back before JB was JB and he was working for another company
PBC - was there anything else you took away from your training that isn’t in the post?
It’s never about you and what you want. Stop referring to yourself or your company. Also, no one is above SDR work, so send the email.
I see nothing wrong with using ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting on a task like this. There’s no reason not to other than having an aversion to technology. And it does say he can use any tool available to him.
But in all seriousness this is a lame ask by the company. It’s not an SDRs job to write the mass-emailed email.

Don’t look at it as an email, but a summary of what this company can do for the market. Simple value prop identification and knowledge of the buyer is a good way to tell if the candidate can do basic research and accelerate their time to productivity.
Ok that reasoning makes sense. I can dig it.
i dont think this is too much to ask for.
but also a terrible idea since i think this is exactly what ChatGPT is made for 🤣

Gotta love the AI revolution

It’s normal - I’ve had to do a take home test for my role.
Atleast it's relevant to what you'd be doing. I had to do riddles and BS math. Writing sample cold emails is an appropriate test.
"Why you, why now, Why i think I can help you" is how I like to frame my cold emails.
"Why you, why now, Why i think I can help you" is how I like to frame my cold emails.
"Why" is the biggest question we have to answer in sales.
I’d be interested to take PBC’s format, insert as a prompt for my specific industry and see what if spits out.
The way I look at it, that’s your baseline. Just be better than that right?

ChatGPT coughed up 4 paragraphs. I checked.
For a cold email? Too much.
It happens and the good thing is it's an open book test with no resources restriction as stated and I believe that 24 hours is good enough to get it done.
Moreover they told you congrats as per the letter that I think means you're close enough to get the offer and only very few steps ahead hopefully.
Best of luck!

Pretty normal from my experience
This is normal but you don't want to work for bnpl company.
Why? I'd like definitely like to hear what you think
Its an oversaturated market with crappy margins. What differentiates klanra from sezzle from afterpay?
To me it's not too much to ask for
Yeah - just feed the case study in GPT, I think it will give you a pretty good reply
