Why Inbound Sales Really Matters Let's talk about inbound sales - it's a big deal, and here's why. Imagine you're at a party. There's always that one person who corners you and won't stop talking about their amazing product. Annoying, right? That's old-school sales. Now picture someone who actually listens to you, asks about your interests, and only then suggests something that might genuinely help you out. That's inbound sales in a nutshell. It's all about understanding where potential customers are coming from. What are they struggling with? What do they need? Instead of pushing products on people who aren't interested, you're focusing on folks who actually want what you're offering. The cool thing is, when you do this, you stop being just another salesperson. You become more like a trusted friend who's got good advice. And let's be honest, we all prefer buying from friends than strangers, don't we? This approach isn't just nice - it works. You end up building real relationships with customers. You get to know their specific problems and can offer solutions that actually fit. It's like being a tailor instead of a one-size-fits-all clothing store. In today's world, where we're all bombarded with ads and sales pitches, being genuinely helpful stands out. It's not about the hard sell anymore. It's about being the kind of business people actually want to buy from. So yeah, inbound sales isn't just a buzzword. It's about treating customers like real people, not walking wallets. And turns out, when you do that, everybody wins. Who knew being nice could be so good for business, right? Looking to hire?

I only apply to 1/10 SDR role job ads. Here's why: The SDR role can be a great way to get market insights—but only if it's set up for success. Too often, companies miss the mark entirely. Lack of Role Investment: Companies signal they don't want to pay for quality. They advertise for a junior SDR to 'make calls' with just a phone and an unmanaged CRM/Excel. No strategic support, no preparation—leading to high turnover and minimal success. Application Management Signals: Posting a role on LinkedIn but not reviewing applications within 1-2 days. Delayed responses signal low priority and poor hiring practices. Lack of Trust in Talent: Overly long list of requirements combined with a 7-step recruitment process. Multiple tests that feel excessive rather than supportive. Absence of clarity on tools, methodologies, and role support. Other Red Flags: No mention of alignment with marketing campaigns. No clarity on how prospects are prequalified. Absence of internal access to key tech personnel for market insights. Ignoring the full spectrum of SDR potential: Salesforce data admin, data steward, and phone branding. Imagine a well-supported SDR: access to prequalified leads, clear marketing alignment, and tools to maximize success. That’s the standard I seek. The SDR role, when correctly set up, is a powerful revenue engine. But too often, it's treated as a short-term numbers game. How to Build an Effective SDR Team: Provide structured lists of prequalified accounts. Ensure CRM hygiene and lead accuracy. Equip SDRs with market knowledge, not just a pitch script. Involve marketing directly in lead generation. Trust the talent you hire and reduce unnecessary hiring barriers. Leverage SDRs beyond calling: Salesforce data admin, data stewardship, and branding through the phone experience. Serious about building an effective SDR team? Respect the intelligence of your hires. Give them the right tools and a supportive ecosystem. Talent deserves more than just a phone and a spreadsheet. #SDRSuccess #SalesDevelopment #B2BSales #SalesLeadership #LeadGeneration #SalesStrategy #CRMManagement #SalesforceAdmin #DataStewardship #SalesExcellence

Advantage of hiring a Virtual Assistant? While a VA only has to handle the operations, the business owner only has to monitor the tasks being done and focus more on closing the business deals. #patterns #virtualassistant #operations #backoffice #socialmedia #crm #listings #admin #usa

Thanks to our recruiting team for sharing my journey! 🙌 I wanted to add one of my favorite parts of being a manager—embracing the lazy coach mentality. 💡 It might sound counterintuitive, but it's so incredibly important. As managers, our main job is to empower our team to think critically, solve problems, and own their growth. Sometimes, especially with internal manager promotions like me, imposter syndrome can sneak in. But here's the magic: you don’t have to be the best at doing the job to be the best coach! In fact, it’s an advantage. By not knowing every answer, we encourage our team to come up with solutions themselves—ones that stick even better than if we handed them out. 🧠✨ To my fellow managers, lean into this! Trust that you’ve got what it takes, and remember—it’s not about having all the answers, it’s about helping others find their own. 💪 And for anyone who’s excited about growing with us at HubSpot —we’re still searching for talented candidates who want to grow alongside us! 🚀 If you want to see some of my coaching magic firsthand, feel free to reach out to me or my wonderful recruiter Spencer Rose for a coffee chat ☕️💬 Let’s talk about how you can be part of our amazing journey!

I think Personalization is a waste of time. Try this next time, Instead: Start by identifying your ICP - Title - Location - Revenue - Company Size Next add something like: - Tech stack (HubSpot or SAP) - Job changes (increase in department size) - Hiring (posted open roles) Now you have a targeted list you can use for your outreach, leveraging something the entire list has in common. Example of what I would do next: Let’s say you’re targeting your ICP (who also uses HubSpot). I would send a message like this: “I might have missed the mark here - but I helped increased a similar company on HubSpot speed-to-lead by +300% and meeting conversion rate by 17% - simply by adding SMS to their inbound funnel. Interested?" P.S. let me know what you thing below. #sales #b2bsales #linkedin
