If you're here, you want some numbers to help you understand how much impact your SDRs are currently having, a
how they might have more. Or maybe you're not sure about the quota that's for them.
We have you covered. Just make a copy of this spreadsheet, so you can edit it.
Then, to use the calculators, just change the yellow cells to reflect your business and you'll get your answers.
We have also included benchmarks for fully loaded costs in SF / NYC on (Tab 2), but feel free to change the yellow
cells there and make it your own!
This spreadsheet has 3 separate calculators that can be used in order:
Meeting & Revenue Setter (Tab 3) - If you're starting from scratch and you don’t even know how much revenue to
expect from your team. This benchmarks to SaaS best practices
SDR Meeting Quota Setter (Tab 4) - If you already have a revenue target, this will tell you how many meetings you
need per SDR!
SDR ROI (Tab 5) - Given how your metrics look today, is your SDR program an atractive revenue engine to investo
Forecast (Tab 6) - Allows you to see if you are on track to hit your goals for the year
If you have any questions whatsoever, just shoot us an email or a phone call (yes, we answer the phone).
