Revival of the SDR Newsletter !

SDR Newsletter - pleasure to meet you all.

My name is Drew Kluender and I'm reviving the SDR Newsletter.

I realize this may be a bit of a surprise since there hasn't been an email sent in a while. I reached out to Jimmy, Stephan and team to see what he was doing with it - turns out he'd been grinding it out for a long time and other opportunities came up for them.

Small world: Jimmy and I both ended up in Cincinnati, so we met for a few beers and agreed that I'd take it over.

A little background on me - I'm the CEO and Founder of ConnectRate.ai, a sales intelligence platform that tells you who is most likely to answer a cold call, bringing your connect rate from 5% to 25%+ overnight. I've been in the game for over 7 years and made 250,000+ cold calls and still make them daily so I've hopefully picked up a thing or two along the way.

Over the coming weeks and quarters I'm going to share everything I know about winning as an SDR - from how to open a cold call to cold email frameworks, objection handling, career growth, and a lot more.

Oh and by the way, expect plenty of real life examples and teardowns from the trenches. I will be asking you all for help / submissions here :) 

Here’s some street cred of me booking a meeting and overcoming “I’m busy” just the other day HERE so you guys know I practice what I preach.

Excited to start this journey with you all and hope to connect with as many of you as possible.

See you next week Tuesday - happy calling until then.

Drew

Tired of dialing numbers that never pick up?

The average SDR connects on 3-5% of their dials. ConnectRate.ai pushes that to 25%+.

We grade every phone number in your list before you ever pick up the phone - flagging disconnected lines, low-answer-rate mobiles, and numbers that will kill your connect rate before the day starts. Less wasted dials. More live conversations. More pipeline.

Stop dialing blind. Start at ConnectRate.ai
