Great Salespeople Ask Questions.
Here’s Some Answers.

What’s with all the BDR love?

The Top BDR Awards are part of the BDR Appreciation Week festivities. The week’s goal: To transform how the industry views BDRs and recognize them as invaluable members of the revenue team. Head over to the BDR Appreciation Week site to join the party!

How are finalists and winners selected?

Once nominations close on February 11th, all entries will be reviewed by a group of B2B sales leaders, BDRs and other sales pros. Three finalists will be selected for each award category.

From Feb. 21 to Feb. 24, we’ll present the finalists and their nomination submissions to the public. Industry pros (like you!) will vote for winners in each category.

Can I nominate myself?

You sure can. However, only GTM leaders / managers can nominate BDRs for the Next-Gen BDR and Rookie of the Year awards.

Can BDRs be nominated in more than one award category?
