A very perfect way of coaching and grooming to achieve success in becoming a successful SDR

Hi! This is one of best available courses for SDR. Thank you, Coursera Team! Please keep up the excellent work! Stay safe.

very hard to get in touch with professors. grading system is flawed

This course has been an eye opener and mind blowing

The Future is wonderful and bright

The quiz questions sometimes don't grade properly. Questions that are marked as correct will be counted as incorrect in grading process.

Peer-graded review is a joke

there is a issue with a quiz grading and no help to fix it is available. this is costing me time to complete my course.

There is no one to help if we need to ask anything

I must confess, in recent years I have struggled to go this far in any course that I started let alone completing one. As a father of 3 (the youngest is just 9months old) and an entrepreneur, I get overwhelmed. The layout and process of this course made it easy for me to push myself and commit to it. The fact that you thought growth mindset early in the course helped position me and my mindset and that became a driver for me. I enjoyed the course, the instructors are awesome and I am so glad. I know this is course 1 of 5, but I am feeling a sense of accomplishment; I believe it will serve as a motivating factor for me to continue and even do some other courses.

THANK YOU GUYS!

This was an amazing course. A lot of what I learned, I used in a previous job. However, in applying this information to an SDR Role broadens my way of thinking. I did a lot of self-reflection: Fueling a Growth Mindset, having grit, focusing on near wins, building self-confidence, understanding my working style and energy patterns, and finally habits of tactical strategy. I also learned the 80:20 rule. I actually wrote this on a whiteboard at my work, and told my colleagues about it. In the final week I learned more on being accountable and taking full responsibility. I highly recommend this course to anyone.

At first I struggled with application created for this course but after some time I got used and enjoyed it well. Another thing that interested me is that you combined video and notes and students are able to save notes on the app.The lectures were not fast so that those of us that English is not a mother language can understand better .Thank your the entire time to your support. And my special appreciation should go to madam Naomi, you are indeed a gifted lecture

I learned a lot in Course 1. Thank you so much Coursera, Sales Force and SV Academy for providing this course. It is motivational.

I found this call very insightful and once you put in the work, you get more understanding.

Best investment ever made to advance my career.

Great learning and really lays a good foundation and setting a good mindset necessary for success in tech sales, you know what they say about the battle being won or lost in the mind even before you begin.

The course was quite intense with a serious and hands-on assignments, so be ready to dedicate good amount of your time into this.

The team did a great job and I higly recommend this course.

Concerns:

It was very obvious that some of the instructors where reading from a screen. Please look into this and modify.

I filled a form for mentorship and never got a response and even email to the program manager was never responded. Some of us are into this program in the long run and would really appreciate some form of mentorship and network, so it will be nice if your team follow up with most of the benefits you promised.

In all, thank you for the great training.

Overall, I liked the course. It gives a good overview and a lot of useful tips, mostly high-level but still quite useful. The videos and articles referenced are also quite good and informative. I would say that the speaker videos are not that great. A few key problems: - They are not always properly introducing themselves so I don't get the value of knowing who they are, what challenges they faced, etc. This takes away value from seeing different people presenting material - Most speakers are clearly reading from the screen in front of them. It would be so much better if they actually learned the material and spoke about the topic from their own perspective

Content was thorough and applicable.

Not suitable for me. I wanted to learn how to use Sales force CRM tools

too long and waiting on grades to move on to the next course is silly.

Reating tha same lanaguage over and over

Nt what I expected.

Additionally, the course fosters collaboration through discussion forums, allowing participants to learn from each other's experiences. Overall, "Groundwork for Success in Sales Development" offers valuable insights and practical strategies for individuals looking to thrive in the field of sales.

The course was good to explain what SDR role is. In this role, I learned the importance of taking feedback positively, using self-reflection to improve one's quota, planning a weekly schedule, and adjusting that scedule for disruptions. Also, I learned about growth mindset and its importance in any role. I think planning the weekly schedule is the most important lesson I learned in this course. I recommend this course if you are thinking of being an SDR or want to decide if you want to persue this role or not.

Very helpful. The various strategies for success, from taking 100% responsibilities, to Grit/Perseverance, and Collaboration/Competition, were clearly laid out and explained. I was able to put these new ideas to work immediately in my new job and have really helped me feel empowered and excited about what I'm doing. Plus it gave me things to continuously work one. Really great class!

I have learned a lot about sales, SDR, sales development, Mindset, Optimism, self-confidence, Giving and receiving feedback, Metrics orientation development, Understanding workstyle, and energy pattern, Time management, and prioritization, 80:20 rules, Taking full responsibility, coachability, and etc.
