Welcome to the third week of Lead Management in Salesforce! This week, you will dive into a new role on the sales team — the sales development representative (or SDR), another team member who plays an important part in the sales process. This week you’re going to learn how to support this team member and empower them to do their jobs more effectively by exploring how to use some new lead management tools in Salesforce. You’re also going to learn how leads are handed off to SDRs from marketing associates — and how SDRs eventually hand off qualified leads (i.e., prospects) to account executives. Along the way, you’ll see how logging information in a centralized location like Salesforce is essential for the success of the overall team every step of the way!

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
