?? Balancing Roles: Customer Support Specialist & Sales Development Representative ?? For over 9 years, I’ve been a Customer Support Specialist, helping customers solve problems, delivering exceptional service, and building trust. Recently, I’ve also stepped into the role of a Sales Development Representative (SDR)—a position that may seem very different, but in reality, shares many of the same principles. What connects these roles? The customer. ? In support, I’ve honed the art of active listening to understand customer pain points. ? In sales, I leverage that same skill to identify challenges and offer tailored solutions. ? Both roles demand empathy, clear communication, and problem-solving. While my SDR role focuses on connecting with prospects and driving business growth, my decade-long experience in customer support keeps me grounded in one truth: Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal. ?? The lesson? Skills are transferable. Whether it’s solving a support ticket or nurturing a sales lead, the ability to connect, understand, and deliver value is universal. What transferable skills have helped you thrive in new roles? Let’s discuss! ?? #CustomerSupport #SalesDevelopment #CareerGrowth #TransferableSkills

*"Who says you can’t do them both* ?" ?????? I used to think there was a big gap between Customer Support and Sales—but it turns out, they’re closer than most people realize! Every day, I’m not just answering questions or solving problems; I’m building relationships and helping people understand why they made the right choice with us. Think about it: *Customer Support is really Sales in disguise.* ???????? In support, you have to know your product, listen with empathy, and guide people toward what serves them best. When done right, you’re not just retaining customers—you’re creating advocates! And isn’t that the heart of good sales? When we go above and beyond to support customers, we’re not just fixing a problem. We’re building trust, adding value, and helping them see why choosing us was the best decision they could make. It’s no wonder that so many great sales skills—empathy, resilience, communication—are born in Customer Support. In today’s world, roles blend more than ever, and that’s where the magic happens. ?? So, to anyone out there thinking they need to pick between two skills, maybe you don’t. Sometimes, by doing one means you are already halfway to mastering the other. What skills have you found to transfer between roles? #HelloNovember #CustomerSupport #Sales #CareerGrowth #Skills #CustomerSuccess

Growing as a Customer Service Rep Being a customer service rep has taught me so much, especially about turning free trial customers into loyal ones. It’s all about exchanging value and making people happy. Here are some things I’ve learned — Knowing Loyal Customers: It’s important to spot and take care of our loyal customers. They stick around and often spread the word about how great we are. — Handling Different Behaviors: Every customer is unique. Whether they’re upset or need extra help, understanding their behavior and responding kindly can turn things around. — Managing Different Attitudes: I’m still figuring this one out, but treating each customer with respect and a personalized approach goes a long way. — Making Customers Happy: Our main goal is to make customers happy. Happy customers come back and tell others about us. — Turning Free Trials into Big Accounts: Free trial customers can become our biggest clients with great support and service. In the end, it’s all about the amazing efforts of customer service teams. We’re not just fixing problems; we’re building lasting relationships and helping our businesses grow. And thanks to the Digital Witch Support Community for helping me learn more about customer service support! Cheers to all the awesome customer service pros out there! #CustomerService #CustomerExperience #CustomerSuccess #ClientRelations #LoyalCustomers #BusinessGrowth #ValueExchange #Hiring #JobSeekers #CareerGrowth #Recruitment #CEOs #HiringManagers

There is no perfect way to get into Customer Success. Its important to find your own path in getting into Customer Success and what makes sense for you. From my experience I will say in this tough job market one of the best ways you could break into Customer Success is by starting out as a Sales Development Representative. Why do I say that? Its because being a Successful Sales Development Representative in Tech will teach you how to better: -Hold a conversation -Overcome objections -Ask good Questions -Build Rapport All the important skills that are needed to be a successful CSM. Also it will help get your foot in the door into tech & if you perform well there could opportunities for you to easily promote to a CSM role at your current company! I broke into a CSM role by starting out as Sales Development Representative. If you have questions about how I did it let me know.

From Uncertainty to Confidence:My Journey in Sales and Customer Support A few months ago, I found myself stepping into unfamiliar territory. Sales and customer support were not completely new to me, but working with tech-driven tools and strategies brought a mix of excitement and nerves. One morning, as I prepared for my first call as a Sales Representative with Veda App, I remember clutching my notebook tightly, rehearsing key points about the platform. It was a cold call to a potential school administrator, and I felt the weight of representing a cutting-edge EduTech product that could transform how schools manage their operations. The call didn’t go perfectly, I stumbled over a question about one of the features. But instead of backing away, I paused, clarified the admin’s concern, and confidently walked them through a solution. By the end of the conversation, not only had I booked a meeting for the demo, but I also learned something valuable: clients don’t need perfection; they need trust, clarity, and someone willing to listen. That moment cemented my belief that sales is more than pitching a product, it’s about building relationships, understanding pain points, and being a partner in finding solutions. It’s the same mindset I bring to customer support, where empathy and effective communication can turn even the most frustrated customer into a loyal advocate. Today, as I continue to hone my skills in sales, lead generation, cold calling, appointment setting, and customer support, I look back at that initial uncertainty with gratitude. The journey has been one of growth, resilience, and constant learning, and I’m excited for what lies ahead. To anyone looking to step into unfamiliar territory, embrace the stumbles. Each call, email, or interaction is a chance to grow, connect, and leave an impact. What was your first day like in a role outside your comfort zone? Let’s share stories and learn from one another. #Growth #Sales #coldcalling #Customer Support
