The BDR role is a scam job, and I feel foolish having taken the bait. Their business practice is to maintain a pipeline of highly motivated lead generators by promising a non-existent promotion path to Account Executive. Of the 50 BDRs who made up my new hire “class” – less than five remain after three months. Only one BDR remains from the class before mine. It seems like they hire about a hundred people per month – but is hard to tell because they shift the teams around, which is likely intentional to keep information low among BDRs. You should expect to make 300 – 350 calls per day with a daily sales quota that makes promotion statistically impossible for almost everyone. Your job is to generate leads for Account Executives who make at least five times your salary. These leads are not easy to generate – which is why they need highly motivated and intelligent BDRs. They would not be able to hire the quantity and quality of BDRs needed to generate these leads at $15/hr. SO THEY LIE – and falsely advertise that the BDR role is a temporary step to Account Executive. It is not. The Account Executive positions are coveted and there simply is no room for you at the top. The majority of BDRs live in constant fear of termination and blame themselves for not performing. They all burn out. Most of the top performers (like me) leave when they realize they are the butt of the joke. Virtually nobody stays. Lastly—they are calling prospects via auto dialer like 10-15 times a day. Think about the psychological impact that has on some of your potential clients who are often facing death or are severely ill (which is often the reason they inquired about life insurance in the first place). It is irresponsible to everyone involved and likely illegal under the TCPA's informed consent rules. It’s gross. Any class action attorneys researching this company-- please go do God's work. Best of luck to everyone considering this job.
