The best sales development professionals at best will be on your team for 2 years, probably less. The reason? They'll make more money as an Account Executive. You could be lucky and find a SDR/BDR who is a rockstar and happens to also love the grind of business development, but that is usually not realistic. What to do? Focus on helping them grow and duplicate their success across the team, make sure your compensation is aligned with a 2 year window so that you reduce the risk of them jumping to another company as an AE. Build a pipeline for your Sales Team from your BizDev team so that your high performing teammates can visually see their career progression, at-your-organization.
