Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Sam Nelson.
Sam is the Founder of SDRLeader.com. Prior to starting his own company he spent almost 6 years at Outreach where he climbed from their top performing SDR into management and leadership positions.
Needless to say, Sam has been at the forefront of all things Sales Development over the past decade, so I’m excited to dive in and get his thoughts on what he thinks is working and what isn’t for B2B outbound in 2025 and beyond.
