/ 16:57/S2:E80
This episode of the Sales Transformation Podcast with Collin Mitchell features Jed Mahrle, Global Manager of Outbound Sales Development. Jed shares the way he skipped college and his professional growth in sales. Jed’s story is all about outhustling everyone in the company to get the promotion he wanted. In the beginning, he adopted an SDR's mindset in prospecting for jobs and even created pitch decks on why he was the best fit for the job. Upon getting the job at PandaDoc, Jed shares how he outworked everyone in the company to convince his bosses that he was indeed more well-suited as an SDR versus his then role as an LDR. He shares his meteoric rise and the very short span of time it took for him to get his foot into the door and to eventually become a manager leading 20 people. Jed suggests to people who want to follow in his footsteps to read resources first and then apply them to their respective companies.

QUOTES

04:43 Jed: "I would create pitch decks. It was two slides. The first slide is these are the three reasons why I think I'm a fit at your company based on your application. So I pull three things from the application and then just speak to some stories and personal attributes about myself that I think helped me align with that role."

06:47 Jed: "I knew that the manager of the SDRs, he had just come in. He was brand new to the company and he was really big on call volume. He wanted everybody to increase their call volume, really go after it. So I knew what he wanted. So I was like, I'm just going to call more than your SDRs were full time as an LDR and you'll have no choice, but to promote me."

09:58 Jed: "Mainly email and phone. A big part of the strategy and the cadence set up is that, anytime I make a phone call, I'm also doing two other touches at the exact same time."
