How to Recruit the Right Sales Talent

When hiring an SDR, it is important you hire someone who is going to not only be effective in your team, but also has the right mindset and fits the culture of your organisation.

This week, Jeremy Donovan of SalesLoft joins the podcast to discuss what he looks for in an SDR and what you can be doing to nail your interviews.

With an untraditional entrance into the sales industry, Head of Sales Strategy and Sales Development and GM NYC at SalesLoft, co-author of Predictable Prospecting, and author of another 4 books including How to Deliver a Ted-Talk, there is something for everyone to take away and implement as Jeremy shares his knowledge with us on SDR training and leading sales teams.
