Speaking to users, whether for research or testing purposes, provides invaluable insight into how people behave and what they need. The more users we speak to, the more we know. But even the best of us will face some hard truths from users no matter what stage we are in our career. Testing designs, whether it’s the first time or the 100th time, can be an incredibly eye-opening experience.

Buyers now have more information than ever before, inbound and outbound SDRs have to change their approach to capture buyer interest and add value, and the skill set needed to be successful has changed. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is the following: almost every SDR’s goal is to be promoted into a closing sales role, usually as fast as possible.

A few years ago I read Tony Hsieh’s book on Zappos , a company that has been lauded for its amazing culture. In the book he shares his view on the four pillars for happiness: progress, purpose, control, and connection. Although various people have made lists of this type, this particular list has resonated the most with me because throughout my life – when I’ve seen happiness or a lack thereof – I can always trace it to a healthy amount or lack in one of these areas.
