    How to Improve Your 1-1's

    At Ascent Cloud, we discuss a performance management methodology all the time; what it is, and what it can do. At its core, a solid performance management strategy is about saving time and giving leaders time back in their schedules to focus on their team’s success, rather than constantly putting out fires.  This month, Jacqueline Leras, Marketing Coordinator, is joined by her Ascent Cloud colleague, Steve Dombroski, Account Management Team Lead, to discuss how to improve your 1-1’s to encourage better conversations and drive success.  In this episode, they chat about: Giving yourself permission to slow downAllowing your reps to drive the conversationTracking the success of your 1-1’s through work performance and life achievements

    Creating the Next Step for Your SDRs

    At Ascent Cloud, we’ve made it part of our culture to promote internally whenever possible. This begins with our Sales Development Representatives (SDR). The SDR role is arguably one of the most challenging within an organization; teaching grit and determination. It’s a true test of how hard you’re willing to work, and for this reason, we value advancing these individuals into new roles. Moving into an Account Executive or other sales role is the logical next step for those who have successfully proved their skills because everything they’ve learned up until this point has been a prerequisite to closing deals. However, at Ascent Cloud, the SDR role doesn’t always lead to another sales position. This month on Ascent Cloud Table Talks, we’re discussing the importance of creating the next step for your SDR team.  Cassie, Director of Marketing, and her Ascent Cloud colleagues, Mark Baird, VP of Sales, Patrick Cormier and Sam Stein, Account Executives, and Jacqueline Leras, Marketing Assistant, will discuss:  The history of promoting your SDRs and why it mattersThe benefits and challenges of developing your SDRs in the organizationWhat works and what doesn’t work when you choose to make this part of your culture You can find this interview, and many more like it, by subscribing to the Ascent Cloud Table Talks podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
