#Nurturing Leads

[rurumonta-127]

The role of a Sales Development Representative (SDR) has become more crucial than ever. SDRs are the unsung heroes of the sales world, working tirelessly behind the scenes to generate leads that fuel the growth of businesses.

In this blog, we will embark on a journey to explore the fascinating world of lead generation from the perspective of SDRs.

Role of SDRs in Lead Generation?

Lead generation is the process of identifying and cultivating potential customers for a business's products or services. It's the first step in the sales funnel and often the most challenging one. Without a steady stream of qualified leads, a sales team would be left aimlessly wandering in the wilderness.

The role of an SDR is to take the raw materials of potential leads and shape them into valuable prospects. They are responsible for initiating the conversation, gauging interest, and passing the torch to the sales team once a lead is deemed sales-ready. It's a delicate dance that requires finesse, persistence, and a deep understanding of both the product and the target audience.

Space Age takes a different stab at Jonathan and Martha as parents, in a way that I think is very interesting. Jonathan is portrayed as critical of Clark (for a reason, but), and there's a panel after his death of Clark and Jon:

Space Age is a comic set in one of the worlds culled during Crisis on Infinite Earths, but I'm always interested in the different ways comics portray Jonathan and Martha Kent because of their status as kind of the perfect parents. But it's interesting to consider and explore the ways Clark's upbringing also effects him in more complicated ways.

having a moment (and this might be my autism speaking) of remembering that when characters (or even irl people) are analyzed / analyzing themselves, some people just look at the behavioural patterns and not where they stem from in the character's psyche and go "my job is done" when the job is half finished cause to me that shit has always been synonymous and i cannot imagine fathoming meta writing from any other standpoint

I am already a big enjoyer of Friede and Amethio's rivalry and dynamics in general, so if Crave turns out to be Amethio's father, I feel like this knowledge would reframe their rivalry in very interesting ways and give additional readings and perspectives..

if you want to volunteer at a wildlife rehab to satisfy your desire to cuddle animals then you should reconsider volunteering at a wildlife rehab

The fact that we have not had a single fic where Shelby goes into an unexpected heat on the island and ends up getting bred by Toni is a travesty and I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of the puriteens who scared the smut writers away in the early days of the fandom.

The way a shoni abo fic would be so fucking good, especially when you factor in their enemies-to-lovers arc like omfg just think about it for a sec 😩😩😩 The way they wouldn't get along at first but would still feel this inexplicable draw to one another. They would be going through it. The existential crisis would be real™️.

In the beginning, Shelby couldn't stand Toni's hot-headedness and arrogance. Nor was she a big fan of how Toni was so dismissive of her. Leave it to an alpha to still exude that sort of annoying behavior when stranded on an island in a life-or-death situation. Yet, despite the gruff exterior and perpetual sour mood, Shelby found herself wanting to be close to Toni, wanting to comfort and care for Toni, wanting nothing more than for the alpha's full attention to be on her at all times. There were nights she could hardly sleep because the pain of not being right next to Toni, not being able to touch Toni the way she craved, was too much. It's all quite embarrassing, this inner turmoil of hers. The rational part of her that knows nothing could ever happen between the two of them versus the more primal side of herself that begs to be bent over and bred every time she catches a whiff of Toni's intoxicating scent. Two sides of herself battling it out for dominance. All this struggling and warring going on inside of her, and the girl who makes her feel this way, who makes her heart flutter and core ache, can't even stand to be around her.

But that's not entirely true, now is it? Because while Toni had been putting on this annoyed front, secretly, she'd found herself consumed with thoughts of the omega. Those first few days after they'd crash-landed, she had admittedly been relatively short with the other girl. She couldn't stand the sight of her perfect ponytail or that gold cross resting heavily on her chest. Her ever-present optimism and flare for the dramatics also drove Toni up the wall. But god, her scent was intoxicating, all-consuming, and mouth-watering. Toni tried to distance herself from the omega, but it never worked. The more she pushed Shelby away, the stronger her desire to protect and provide for her grew. This innate, animalistic drive really pissed Toni off. It was pitiful; the way she could feel her chest subconsciously puff when all the girls were hanging out, and Shelby decided to sit next to her. It was just awful how she would be overcome with a great sense of accomplishment anytime she managed to make Shelby smile. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't resist the urge to serve the omega, to be her alpha...and maybe...maybe Toni was okay with that.

I have to say that I'm glad that there's been an influx of information about Lilith that wasn't there a few years ago. It's pretty great! I'm overjoyed she gets the recognition she deserves :)

dont mind me, complaining again lol

but i find it really frustrating that when a celeb is revealed to be abusive or just generally a gross person, there's always a group of people who are like 'oh i aLWAYS thought they were weird' or 'oh i NEVER liked them!' and it's just.... so unhelpful lol?

for me it just perpetuates the idea that abusers/groomers/etc are 'easy to spot' or that there are always signs, and especially for the victims, i feel like it's rubbing it in their face that they didn't spot those signs! the fact is, a lot of people that commit heinous acts /aren't/ easy to spot, which is why they can often get away with it for so long! (also, literally EVERYONE is capable of committing heinous acts!! abusers, murderers, rapists, etc aren't some special breed of person)

like it's true that there are sometimes warning signs, but rather than being like 'oh of COURSE that person is bad' i'd prefer if people said 'these are things i noticed in their past behaviour that made me dislike them' or something similar where it can actually be part of a more useful conversation!

basically i just want people to stop acting holier-than-thou about stuff please lol

i didn’t know who else to turn to. (from shenhe!)

He remembers a night amidst their travels to where she alluded to this. Vague as it was, as if there was a very natural fear preventing her heart from being exposed on the matter.

As if this would be a tipping point that could've made him imagine regret to weave into their journey.

Thoma had never known the right time to appropriately indulge on the matter. Yet, so many silent tells became prevalent. Nurturing the most tender element of strength was a path that led to unparalleled might, whether they were truly ready or not. It brings his focus back towards those very red ropes that were deemed essential. A barrier that keeps truth locked away as a means of creating safety.

Is that what leads his heart to churn with a mixture of guilt and concern in the present? Shenhe certainly needs no one to take care of her, but in another thread, it was pivotal that guiding hands could be here to help upon the greatest challenges she'd have to face. As they remained tucked underneath the protective veil of Windrise's holy tree, a decision was being formed, a culmination of just how much his genuine thought toiled with the rush of resolve in his heart.

Shenhe's faith in their bond lead her here, led to sharing this, it was a gift that wouldn't be callously handed. No, this was a treasure.

Stepping forth with the divine sights of Vennessa's ascension ground and the statue as his witness, the warm hands of the samurai would draw onto Shenhe's shoulders, settling in a tender grip. Conviction would find itself igniting a potent warmth that could be felt in the soul.

"Regardless of what transpires, I want you to know that I'll be with you. ..This truly was a matter of time, wasn't it?"

New heights of the heart where adeptal restraint could only do so much. It's where her emotions would stir to plateaus that go beyond established boundaries. He could understand the fear this would garner as they pursue the path of this wish.

"As it stands? I don't think we can resort to restraint in the adeptal sense any longer. Shenhe..? This has to be a battle for you to fully face and claim as your own. Your emotions. ..In a time they've protected you from what you've shared, and in the current, it will be a test you prepared to face all this time." No shred of indecision or hesitation would be gleaned from his voice.

The expression within those jade eyes reveal the faith she's earned in weaving a golden thread of history by his side.

"You should feel. I don't believe that you don't hold that brand of heart that so many claim. A heart like yours is one of the warmest places I've ever been." As one of his hands ebb from the stance on her shoulder, it'd draw up, intentionally gathering that portion of snow white hair that brandishes this scarlet seal.

"And it's ready to outgrow these. I give my oath that I'll be there each step upon this path."
