Advancement Prospects
The career of sales development representative is an entry-level one. A skilled SDR with several years of experience can advance to the position of account executive. Those who are extremely talented and experienced can become managers of sales or marketing departments or directors of sales or marketing at a company. Sales and marketing departments are traditionally pipelines to executive-level positions, especially vice-president of marketing or sales and CEO, but it is extremely hard to reach this level.
