Opt In: Don't Copy - Emulate
from UNSUBSCRIBE: The demandDrive Podcast · host demandDrive
Join AJ and Alex for another episode of Opt In! Learn about the importance of critical thinking and knowing your "why" in 7.5 minutes! Hey there listener! AJ here 👋 Recently, I received a good email from an SDR - one of the better ones in a while. And as I was reading it, something dawned on me. It was my email. *dun dun dun* Alex and I talk about the situation (and my response) in our recent episode of Opt In. But the big takeaway I want to impart here is the importance of critical thinking. Leaning on and learning from your peers is critically important as an SDR. But if you just copy what they do, you’ll never learn why it works. And if you don’t know why it works, you can never make strategic changes to scale it out or adapt it for different situations. You can’t circumvent the need for continuity and relevance by copying good templates. Opt In to understanding why something works versus copying it because it does work. -- Episode Page ➡️ https://www.demanddrive.com/podcast/dont-copy-emulate The demandDrive Podcast ➡️ https://bit.ly/dD-Pod Meet our team ➡️ https://bit.ly/dD-Team Follow us on LinkedIn ➡️ https://bit.ly/dD-LI Want to work with us? ➡️ https://bit.ly/Contact-dD Want to work for us? ➡️ https://bit.ly/dD-Careers
