If you're an SDR/BDR who wants to be an AE and working for a company with no clear career path to do so, you're not alone.  Introducing my next guest, Conor McDonell, Account Executive at Breaktime Media. Breaktime Media focuses on the 180-second pauses we take throughout our day.  They do this by harnessing a 360-degree technology platform to deliver rich and engaging content to an audience of 36 million shoppers across mobile, tablet, and desktop. The road to success wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, like many, he started off at a company that didn't really have the offerings aligned with his end goal.  Although he was one of the top performers in the group, he slayed out the SDR/BDR role for 2 and a half years. Study shows the average tenure for any SDR/BDR ranges anywhere from 12-18 months. If the company you're currently work for doesn't offer what your end goal is, better think about making a move.  Question is, are you willing to do it?  McDonnell is a hungry and passionate sales professionals.  To get where he's at today, he had to jump states and getting unformatted. He moved from his homeland Massaucheus out to Florida to make it happen and indeed it all paid off. Conor my man, much love to you brother and thank you for coming on the 1Up Sales Dev. Podcast to share your story, we truly appreciate you!
