Vikram Venkatapathi, major kudos for testing sharper outreach, warming up cold channels, and building on a 16% response rate. pclub.io = behavior change in the field. https://lnkd.in/gZpUGKN5

A question for SDR managers: When you coach your reps, are you coaching on activity or capability? Most coaching conversations focus on volume. More calls. More emails. More activity. But the data from the 2026 State of SDR Skills Report shows something different: Top-performing teams touch 30-50% fewer accounts and generate more pipeline. That happens because of sharper skills across targeting, messaging, and pipeline creation. If you manage SDRs and want to coach on the skills that actually move pipeline, our report is your starting point. Download it now: https://lnkd.in/g2jTxqTu

Long overdue congrats for Gabrielle Stott (Sales Shark 🦈). Her story is such an excellent reminder that skill growth doesn't always look polished at first. In 2025, she said she had no pipeline at the beginning of Q1 and was still learning how to close. So, she leaned into what she could control: Self-sourcing, repetition, writing everything down, and using pclub like a system. She finished Q1 as the #1 AE for revenue at Warmly... then shared how she became #1 AE for revenue closed 2 quarters in a row. No hacks. No magic personality transplant. Just someone deciding: if this is going to work, I’m going to build the skill for it. There's 3 quarters left in 2026... which one(s) will you decide to level up for? Decisions, decisions! P.S. Gabrielle Stott (Sales Shark 🦈), we need an update on you! #SalesSkills #B2BSales

Today is the day! Dropping shortly so here's your last opportunity to sign up for for it: https://lnkd.in/gzXfxQbz Our 2026 State of SDR Skills Report breaks down the 10 skills that now separate top SDRs from everyone else, with insights from leaders at pclub, ClickUp, Snowflake, Owner.com, Clari, and more. We reveal why and how more activity, more tools, and more automation are not fixing pipeline. The real gap? SDR teams have modern tools, but underdeveloped skills. Inside this report are the capabilities top SDRs use to book more meetings, generate more qualified pipeline, and build outbound systems that actually convert in 2026.

Solid work, Elijah Gonsalves, MBA! Three skill paths completed is not passive learning. That’s deliberate skill investment. Like Elijah, the best reps are building a repeatable operating system for performance: sharper prep, better conversations, stronger execution. This is revenue skill transformation in practice: https://lnkd.in/gHamcdQD

5 days until the new standard for SDR performance drops. Join the waitlist below and P.S. - One finding from our research? Most cold outreach fails before it ever has a chance. Why? Because reps lead with the solution before the buyer has even named the problem. The best SDRs do the opposite.

Before joining pclub, Ian Knight said the convos never flowed. Pipeline was low. The old playbook had stopped working. So he changed it. Since joining pclub, he finished a prior Q1 at 150% to quota and was at $300K against a $229K quota in Q2 with weeks still to go that very same year. He also said he was one of the top AEs globally in his company, $250K ahead of the next rep. That’s the part that matters most here: Not hyping up his win or stating simply that he "felt more confident," but a real performance shift tied to a better system. You're next?

For the first time, we're making this available to everyone: On April 28, we're releasing the 2026 State of SDR Skills Report. This type of research is normally reserved for pclub members. We're making an exception because the SDR Skills Crisis is too widespread to keep behind a wall. The report maps 10 skills across 3 capability layers. It includes a diagnostic you can run with your team across targeting, messaging, and pipeline creation. It also tells you what top SDR teams do differently. And what to do about it. Join the waitlist now and you'll be first to get the full report when it drops April 28: https://lnkd.in/g2cexQSk

First, our State of SDR Skills Report 2026 drops here on April 28: https://lnkd.in/g2cexQSk. Next, titles can help you enter an account. They don't tell you how decisions actually move. THAT is part of the SDR skills crisis. A rep reaches out to the most senior-looking person, gets no traction, and assumes the account is cold. Or they get a reply from someone with the right title and treat it like real progress. But hierarchy isn't the same as influence. Influence is who can move conversations forward, bring others into the room, shape internal opinion, and quietly stall a deal before it starts. THAT is why SDRs need to map the real power structure, not just the org chart. When you prospect by influence instead of title, your outreach gets sharper, your threads get stronger, and your pipeline gets more durable. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹: DON'T confuse hierarchy with influence. DO map who moves the deal! #SDR #SDRSkills #RevenueSkills #SalesSkills #RevenueTransformation

Observed pattern across SDR teams: Top teams convert meetings to opportunities at 2-3x the rate of average teams. Same tools. Same market. Different capabilities. ^This is what the SDR Skills Crisis looks like in the data. The full breakdown drops April 28. Be first to see it: https://lnkd.in/g2cexQSk #StateOfSDRSkills #SDR
