Real, Raw Sales Conversations; What Really Happens to SDR's with David Zeff

Alright, let’s do something a little different, it’s time to get real with what we do as SDRs. Today, we’re going to do a bit of Q and A with my buddy David Zeff. With over 10 years of selling technology to hundreds of SMB and Enterprise companies across multiple sectors, David began to wrap his head around the art of sales. After being a part of 2 exits (One has a Founder and the other as a Founding Member) David has taken that knowledge into Whistle, an agency that is designed to help companies acquire customers through setting best practice sales and marketing processes and strategies, as well as deploying lead generation activities.
