Урок 1. Когда масштабировать

20-30 мин

Сигналы готовности к росту

  • Unit economics работают: CAC payback < 12 месяцев
  • Process validated: есть воспроизводимый playbook
  • Ramp predictable: новые SDR выходят на quota вовремя
  • Demand exists: Sales просят больше pipeline
  • Quality stable: SQL rate и win rate не падают

Red flags: не масштабировать пока

  • Conversion rates нестабильны
  • Нет чёткого ICP (таргетим всех подряд)
  • Onboarding занимает > 4 месяцев
  • High SDR turnover (> 30% annual)
  • Sales не закрывают SDR leads
Правило: Fix the machine before scaling the machine. Масштабирование сломанного процесса = масштабирование проблем.

Урок 2. Организационные структуры

30-40 мин

Span of control

  • 1-5 SDR: Founder/Sales Leader manages directly
  • 6-10 SDR: Dedicated SDR Manager
  • 11-20 SDR: SDR Manager + Team Lead
  • 21-40 SDR: 2 SDR Managers, Senior Manager/Director
  • 40+ SDR: VP/Director + multiple managers

Reporting structures

  • SDR → Sales: alignment with quota carriers, risk: SDR = afterthought
  • SDR → Marketing: alignment with demand gen, risk: disconnect from Sales
  • SDR → RevOps: neutral, data-driven, risk: lack of sales coaching
  • SDR → Own function: dedicated career path, requires scale

Career path

  • SDR → Senior SDR → Team Lead → SDR Manager
  • SDR → AE (классический переход)
  • SDR → Customer Success / Account Management
  • SDR → Sales Ops / Revenue Ops

Урок 3. Pod Model и специализация

35-45 мин

Pod Model (Revenue Pod)

Pod = мини-команда с полным ownership сегмента:

  • 2-3 SDR + 2-3 AE + 1 CSM
  • Dedicated segment (geography, vertical, company size)
  • Shared goals и compensation alignment
  • Pod Leader координирует

Типы специализации SDR

  • By segment: Enterprise vs Mid-Market vs SMB
  • By source: Inbound vs Outbound
  • By vertical: Finance, Healthcare, Tech
  • By geography: EMEA, APAC, Americas
  • By product: если multiple products

Когда специализировать

  • Generalist работает до ~8-10 SDR
  • Специализация при: разных ICP, разных sales cycles, разных messaging
  • Сначала: Inbound vs Outbound split
  • Затем: Segment split (Enterprise vs Mid-Market)
Pro tip: Специализация повышает expertise, но требует coordination. Не переспециализируйте маленькую команду.

Урок 4. Автоматизация для масштаба

30-40 мин

Что автоматизировать

  • Data enrichment: автоподтягивание данных о лидах
  • Lead routing: автоматическое распределение
  • Task creation: следующий touchpoint автоматом
  • Meeting scheduling: Calendly, Chili Piper
  • Reporting: автоматические дашборды
  • Follow-ups: автоматические reminder sequences

Что НЕ автоматизировать

  • Персонализация первого email (AI-assisted, но human reviewed)
  • Discovery calls
  • Objection handling
  • Relationship building
  • Complex account research

Automation stack 2026

  • CRM: Salesforce, HubSpot
  • Engagement: Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo
  • Enrichment: Clay, Clearbit, ZoomInfo
  • Intent: Bombora, 6sense, G2
  • Scheduling: Chili Piper, Calendly
  • AI Writing: GPT-4, Jasper, Copy.ai

Урок 5. AI-Augmented SDR 2026

25-35 мин

AI use cases для SDR

  • Research acceleration: AI summarizes company news, 10-K, LinkedIn
  • Personalization at scale: AI drafts personalized openers
  • Reply classification: AI сортирует positive/negative/OOO
  • Meeting prep: AI готовит briefing per prospect
  • Call coaching: AI анализирует звонки, даёт feedback
  • Forecasting: AI предсказывает conversion probability

AI-SDR Agents (2026 trend)

  • Autonomous agents для initial outreach
  • Human handoff при positive reply
  • 24/7 coverage
  • Примеры: 11x, Artisan, Relevance AI

Human + AI модель

  • AI handles: research, drafting, admin, classification
  • Human handles: strategy, relationships, complex conversations
  • SDR productivity: 2-3x с правильным AI tooling
  • Focus shift: от volume к quality и strategy
Риск: Full automation без human oversight = generic outreach = spam. AI augments, не replaces SDR judgment.
