Booking the first meeting is no easy task, but neither is what comes after. The handoff from Sales Development Representative (SDR) to Account Executive (AE) is a crucial step in the sales cycle that, if done right, sets the stage for more closed-won business, fewer no-shows, and increased buyer satisfaction.
