    Master the Cold Call: Your First 90 Days as an SDR

    As an SDR, your phone presence and persistence will set you apart. Hiring managers look for candidates who can handle rejection and keep dialing. Show them you've got grit and a plan.

    1. Perfect your pitch: Practice a concise, confident opening that hooks decision-makers within 10 seconds. Record yourself and refine until it sounds natural.

    2. Research before you dial: Use LinkedIn and company websites to personalize each call. Mention a recent company update to show you've done your homework.

    3. Track your metrics: Keep a simple spreadsheet of calls, emails, and meetings booked. This shows you're data-driven and ready to hit targets.

    4. Learn the product inside out: Know the features and benefits of what you're selling. Be ready to answer basic questions on the spot.

    5. Handle objections smoothly: Prepare responses to common pushbacks like 'not interested' or 'send me an email'. Role-play with a friend to build confidence.

    6. Use CRM from day one: Familiarize yourself with the CRM system used. Accurate logging is non-negotiable for pipeline management.

    7. Stay organized: Prioritize your leads and follow up systematically. A clear plan prevents missed opportunities.

    8. Seek feedback early: Ask your manager for call reviews in the first weeks. Show you're coachable and eager to improve.
