6 Ways to Build a World Class Sales Development (SDR) Team #Infographic #SDR

Contacting and qualifying leads to arrange a demo or meeting is vital to most organizations. These Sales Development Reps are the lifeblood of a company ensuring a constant stream of new and qualified leads for you and your sales team to sell to.
