Spending time on leads that never progress, while stronger opportunities stall waiting for attention

The situation this course is for

Many development reps focus only on volume, but the best ones control momentum by knowing which prospects are truly ready to move. Without a structured way to assess technical fit, decision timelines, and internal advocacy, even strong leads get misprioritized , and account executives default to chasing their own.

Who this is for

Sales Development Representative in a technical B2B environment, focused on developer-driven buying cycles and complex product evaluation

Who this is not for

This is not for SDRs at generalist firms with scripted outreach only, or teams where qualification is fully automated or owned entirely by marketing.

What you walk away with

  • Ability to consistently flag high-intent prospects based on technical engagement signals
  • A repeatable qualification framework tailored to MongoDB’s product depth and buyer journey
  • Increased trust from account executives who rely on your assessments to prioritize outreach
  • Clearer escalation paths for cross-functional opportunities involving multiple stakeholders
  • Documented examples and sourcing logic to back every handoff decision

How is this different from general SDR training?
This course focuses on technical qualification , using product telemetry, deployment patterns, and developer behavior to assess readiness, not just call count or email open rates.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
Is this only for MongoDB reps?
No. While examples are drawn from technical database sales, the frameworks apply to any B2B tech product with a developer-first motion.
