From cold-approaching strangers in a mall to B2B SDR. Is the jump realistic?
My job is stopping strangers in a shopping mall and pitching them in 30 seconds about energy plans. I want out
My day-to-day is 100% cold-approaching foot traffic, handling constant rejection, and managing the full cycle from the initial 'stop' to the close. The ceiling for this type of job is pretty low: €550 base (for 20h/week) + commission, and commission only kicks in if I hit a quota of 18 closed deals in the month.
I took this job because I'd just migrated and needed to land my first sales role quick. Now I want to grow, and I'm looking to transition into a B2B SDR seat where I can 1. become a better salesman, and 2. earn more
Before this I worked as a real estate agent in my home country for a year. An SDR role would be my first time selling B2B
Should I include my current experience on my resume? I'm fluent in Spanish and English is it worth applying for remote roles? And most importantly: is this realistic?
