running 120+ SDRs from Kolkata.

no, not Bangalore. not Mumbai. Kolkata.

when I tell people this, they're surprised. "how do you get talent?" "how do you serve clients across India?"

8-10 SDRs in our Kolkata office. rest are pan-India, fully remote.

here's what nobody tells you about managing SDRs at scale:

44% churn in one month. 18 out of 41 gone.
33% were role misfit - wanted desk job, not 80 calls/day.
28% were untrainable after 2 weeks of coaching.

what we built to fix this:

AI screens every candidate before hiring. simulated calls. objection handling tests. reject 60% before day 1.

AI onboarding: 5-day ramp vs industry standard 3-4 weeks.
AI monitors 100% of calls. not the usual 2-3% manual QA.

last batch: 15% churn vs 44%.

you don't need a fancy office in a tier-1 city to build a serious sales tech company.

you need systems that work.

what's the hardest part of scaling your team?

AI-powered calling at scale — recruit, train, deploy & monitor reps in days, not months | Co-Founder @SalesUP

I spent 3 years selling to SaaS companies.
Clean CRMs. Defined ICPs. Short sales cycles.

Then we started working with manufacturing and ERP companies.

Everything I knew about B2B sales broke.

The decision maker isn't on LinkedIn.
He's on the factory floor.
He doesn't read emails.
He picks up the phone.

The buying committee isn't 2-3 people.
It's the owner, the accountant, the floor manager, and sometimes the owner's brother.

The sales cycle isn't 30 days.
It's "let me think about it" for 4 months, then a WhatsApp message at 11pm saying "let's start Monday."

Here's what we learned the hard way:

1. Cold calling works better than any digital channel for manufacturing. Not because they're "not tech-savvy." Because they're busy building things with their hands and don't have time to scroll.

2. WhatsApp > Email. Every time. Not even close. These are people who run their entire supply chain on WhatsApp groups.

3. The first call isn't about selling. It's about understanding their pain in their language. "ERP" means nothing. "Stop losing money on inventory" means everything.

4. You need humans, not just AI. Manufacturing buyers want to talk to a person who understands their world. AI can qualify. But humans close.

We used to think B2B sales was one playbook.

It's not.

Every vertical has its own language, rhythm, and rules.

The companies that figure this out first win the pipeline.
Everyone else just has a nice deck nobody reads.

thanks to Kartik Mandaville for pushing me over the edge to setup claude code over the weekend 

I was on the $100/month Claude plan for last 1-2 month while i started using claude code for last 3-4 weeks 

ran out of the credits for the first time 

instantly upgraded to $200/mon w/o a single thought 

I am still learning how to use this tool as a non technical person

Kartik and team are doing some really awesome productivity enhancements at Springworks

"what if we just do revenue share?”

9 calls this month. 9 times.

I'll translate that for you.

"we don't trust our own product enough
to pay someone to sell it.
so we want you to take that risk instead."

that's what revenue share actually means.

let me tell you what happens
every single time.

ed-tech company. 8 months ago.
"just get us meetings, take 15% of revenue."

our SDR booked 42 qualified meetings in 3 months.
their sales team closed 3.

why?

47-minute demos.
no pricing page.
6 days to send a proposal.

We earned ₹11,000 total.
for 90 days of work.
she quit.

they blamed us for "bad leads."

here's the pattern I see
after 50+ clients and 120+ SDRs:

companies that pay fixed cost?
they fix their demo after week 2.
they ask "why aren't these converting?"
they actually care about the feedback.

companies on rev share?
"if it works, cool. if not, we lost nothing."

except you lost 6 months.
and the person selling had zero reason
to tell you your pitch was broken.

the dealer model works because
the dealer bets their own money
on something already selling.

rev share is the opposite.
you're asking me to bet my team's time
on something you won't bet your budget on.

that's not a partnership.
that's you telling me
you don't believe in your own product or maybe don’t believe in the process in that case good feedback for us
