"The one
about the
wrong
targets..."
Whistle
The Blog
It’s your first week as an SDR.
You’ve got a target to book 5
meetings.
You need to pick up the phone.
But what if someone answers.
You’re bound to mess it up. You
won’t get the meeting.
You’ll fail.
You’ll feel shitty.
But, what if I said your first
target is to hold 10 bad calls.
Do you feel better now?
You can do that right?
Good. Get dialing.
The first target is the most
important one.
It’s the one that builds
confidence.
Confidence leads to higher
targets.
Higher targets lead to amazing
results.
Are your team’s first targets
the right ones?
