Why this program exists

Great SDR leadership doesn't happen overnight. But you shouldn't have to figure it all out on your own.

Whether you're stepping into your first SDR management role or looking to become a more strategic leader, the job comes with a whole new set of challenges.

From hiring and onboarding to coaching, forecasting, managing up, partnering with AEs and Marketing, and building a high-performing team, there's a lot to learn.

The SDR Leader Accelerator gives you the practical foundations, frameworks and guidance to navigate those challenges with confidence, while introducing the strategic concepts that will help you grow as a leader.

You don't have to figure it all out through trial and error.

Who this is for

Built for current and emerging SDR leaders at every stage of their journey.

  • New and first-time SDR managers looking to build strong leadership foundations
  • SDR Managers developing their approach to hiring, coaching, performance and team management
  • Experienced SDR leaders looking to sharpen their operating model and introduce more strategic thinking
  • Managers preparing for their next step into Senior Manager, Director or broader GTM leadership

Whether you're learning the fundamentals of managing people or looking to evolve how you lead an entire function, you'll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately and concepts to help you think bigger. This isn't just theory. It's practical SDR leadership development, built around the challenges we face in the real world.

Why learn from us

Taught by the leaders who built these functions, not by a curriculum team.

Every session is led by an operator who has hired, ramped, forecast and defended an SDR function in the real world, with guest speakers from across the SDR Leaders Global community. You'll learn from Andrea Onuigbo, whose full bio is below.

    Started her career as an SDR and AE

I became a leader before I had a leadership toolkit. Most of us do.
Andrea Onuigbo

Andrea has spent the last decade learning what it takes to make the leap from individual contributor to great Sales Development leader - from starting her career as an SDR and AE at Oracle to becoming a founding Sales Development leader for Atlassian's first-ever SDR teams across EMEA and APAC, and most recently leading Sales Development across EMEA at Snowflake.

Today, she leads 30+ SDRs and five frontline managers, and has coached 70+ SDRs, AEs and managers into new roles, promotions and their next level of leadership. Her teams have generated more than $28M in vetted opportunities and $2.4M in signed contracts.

She's lived the messy middle of leadership: hiring, coaching, forecasting, managing up, partnering across functions, developing managers and figuring out how to build a team that performs without everything depending on you.

The Accelerator brings those lessons into one practical leadership toolkit - built for the leaders who are ready for what's next.
