BDR Testimonial

The BDR program was the foundation that my sales career was built upon.  At EDQ, you are on the frontline and often the first interaction that clients and prospects will have with our organization.  Primarily working as “the bridge” from Marketing to Sales but you will have great exposure to working and collaborating with practically every department across the business.  It opens your eyes to a fast-paced, high-delivering sales organization and allows any individual to determine if sales is the right career path for you.  You will learn so much about EDQ, the products and services we offer and how we are able to help some of the largest companies in the world achieve their business goals and initiatives.  You will also learn different types of sales strategies, how to interact with a client or prospect and multiple other skills such as: time management, how to run a meeting and calendar planning, to name a few.  I can honestly say this program put me in a great position to succeed not only at EDQ but in my overall career in general.
