Sales development teams help bridge the gap between sales and marketing. They receive the marketing qualified leads (MQLs) and engage with contacts to assess if they are qualified and have a purchase intent.
The process of engaging with a prospect, qualifying them for the sales reps, and discovering if they have purchase intent and budget is critical for the success of any SDR. You, as a manager, need to have multiple tactics to coach your team to call for success.
