Hang in there SDR/BDRs! After your first 1000 calls, you level up and become immune to nasty prospects!

True that - that was me 8 years ago. Hang in there, hang tough, you'll get bumped up and make some money soon enough!
Same!ย I love it when AEs come from SDR backgounds.ย They've been through the trenches so they know what SDRs are going through <3
100%.
Fringe benefit of going thru all that hell is everything from there on our is much easier to let just roll off your back.
Every once in a while I get nostalgic for a blitz, set one up, and about 2 hours in I'm like "oh, that's right, I'm getting fucking old"

heck yeah!ย Ghosts and karens no longer scare me.ย +100 Immunity
Lol... now I'm going to ask my DM if I can run a custom "salesperson" class next campaign...
That sounds hilarious, lol!ย So many possibilities for spells and attacks!
Yes. Kind of like a Rogue, but with less physical combat skills and more charisma.
Would have to play as Chaotic Good though.

I still get nauseous when I hear the word blitz (in a good and bad way).ย
the fact that I was a linebacker problably plays a small role in it as well.ย

Not my favorite activity but sort of a rite of passage in sales.
The term "Power Hour" still makes me shudder

We have a fresh new BDR and bless out of her first five calls she has had someone hang up, decline her and say not interested. Very unlucky but it's a learning curb. I guess that's why we all look ten years older than we are.ย
Best to get it out of the way now and develop that thick skin early on.
True. Very true.
What bothers me isn't rejection from prospects, it's people that string me along by saying "Sure, I'd be interested" and then ghost me. Biggest blue balls.
Agreed.ย I'd rather have a quick no than being led on!
Verbal commits that ghost are the worst!

This is what you signed up for with SDR/BDR roles, people are always rude on the phones.ย
Sadly yes ;_;
