The Myth of the Unicorn SDR
A lot of founders and sales leaders I talk to are chasing the same ghost. They’re searching for that SDR. The one who can do it all. Someone who can prospect, personalize, sequence, call, email, and book meetings... all while managing Salesforce hygiene, adapting to the latest AI tools, and still hitting quota. We keep writing job descriptions for unicorns, and it’s becoming a problem. The way we’re designing these roles makes it harder (and rarer!) to find people who actually fit them.
Speed-to-Pipeline: Why Ramp Time Is the New Competitive Moat
In the six to eight weeks it takes you to hire, onboard, and train one new in-house SDR, your fastest competitor has already booked 12 qualified meetings and is actively working deals. You're a full quarter behind, and the starting gun just fired. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario. This is the new reality of B2B markets. With product cycles shrinking every quarter and GenAI rewriting the rules of engagement, the battleground is no longer just features or price. It's speed.
