We're back with another episode of the SDR Game Podcast!

In this 4th and last episode of our Social Selling mini-season, I had a chat with Julia Carter, an over-achieving AE at Marpipe.

Julia has an amazing journey of transforming from an SDR into an AE superstar, exceeding quotas by up to 400%.

But it's not just about her impressive numbers.

So, how did she do it? Here’s the breakdown:


Bypassed traditional methods: She didn't resort to a single cold call and yet achieved these fantastic numbers.
Automated her outreach: Julia designed successful sequences with a staggering 30-45% open rate, reaching out to more than 3,000 prospects at a time.
Made a name in full-cycle sales: Transitioned into a full-cycle AE role and continued to excel. In Q1 alone, she closed 13 deals, sourcing almost 62% of them herself.
Used Visuals and LinkedIn: She leaned heavily into social selling, LinkedIn Boolean searches, visuals, and automated cold emails to achieve her goals.
