20 Song Lines About Phone Calling That Make an SDR’s Day

SDR work is exhausting at times. They communicate with people on a daily basis and have to handle rejection. Many emotions occur, and they can be overwhelming. First, it’s hope and fear, when you write emails and make phone calls. Then, it’s the anxiety, and thrill when you get a response.

Apart from that, dedicated SDRs enjoy the intrigue when they try to overcome an objection. Meanwhile, the final “No” might bring despair and anger. However, once the appointment is set, they’re on the ninth cloud.

You need humor and positive thinking to handle the denial. In addition, you need to have a strong personality to retain the will to go on and do your best.

For all the awesome SDRs here, at CIENCE, and all over the world, we made a list of song lines about phone calling and complicated emotions they have on a daily basis.
