Starting a new role is exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also feel like drinking from a firehose.
If you’ve recently accepted a position as a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Abstrakt, you’re stepping into a high-performance environment built to help you grow quickly, professionally and financially. If you haven’t already, explore our open opportunities on the Careers page.
Here’s a breakdown of what your first 90 days will look like so you can hit the ground running.
Your First Week: Orientation & Training
Your journey starts with structured onboarding designed to build a strong foundation. In a classroom setting, you’ll cover:
- Company orientation and culture
- Abstrakt’s core services, including B2B appointment setting
- SDR role expectations and pipeline basics
- Tools and CRM introduction
- Early exposure to talk tracks and client communication
As an SDR, your job is to build pipeline by identifying decision-makers, delivering messaging, and setting qualified appointments for clients.
One more thing: your first day might land on our monthly Kickoff Breakfast. Not a bad way to start. Grab a coffee, an energy drink, and a bite before you even open your laptop.
Week 2: Going Live
Onboarding moves fast. By the end of your second week, you’ll be off the sidelines and working on real accounts.
You’ll be focused on:
- Practicing in our CRM, Salesforce
- Completing client certifications
- Developing your talk tracks
- Running mock calls and role play scenarios
- Making live dials on your actual accounts
You’re still learning, but now you’re applying it in real time.
Days 11 to 30: Building Consistency
Once you’re live, the focus shifts to building habits and finding your rhythm.
You’ll be:
- Making live dials daily
- Having real conversations with prospects
- Identifying key decision-makers (KDMs)
- Tracking your activity and performance metrics
Dialing is a core part of how Abstrakt drives results, particularly within our cold calling services.
You’ll also start weekly MAPs (Major Projects, Activity Measured, Personal and Professional Growth) with your manager, a structured touchpoint to set goals, track progress, and keep improving.
Days 60 to 90: Improving Performance
By this point, the foundation is set. Now it’s about sharpening your skills and pushing your numbers.
You’ll focus on:
- Strengthening your pitch
- Increasing your appointment-setting rate
- Understanding and owning your key metrics
- Improving your close rate and overall performance percentages
The main areas you’ll be measured on: dials, KDM identification, pitch quality, and close rate.
Growth Opportunities
The SDR role is a starting point, and a strong one. From here, you can grow into roles like:
- Partner Account Manager
- Account Executive
- Sales Leadership
- Training and Development
Many team members reach six-figure income potential from this foundation.
The Reality
This is a fast-paced, high-performance environment. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay.
But if you’re motivated, competitive, and willing to put in the work, your first 90 days can set the tone for your entire career at Abstrakt.
