Cost of zoom info2/24/2023 The perfect starter team consists of one SDR manager and two SDRs. So, what does an ideal initial SDR team look like? Of course, you can absolutely train new team members if you don’t have anyone ready internally, it will just increase the time you spend training over the time you spend actually selling. This internal understanding will give you a head start when you’re ready to get on the phone. It’s helpful to have someone on the initial team with either intimate knowledge of your company or the world of sales development.
