Reddit as of today is still recommending Codeacademy and Odin Project, so I'll likely start there.

You have any recommendations for front and backend languages?

Mainly focusing on website and web app development.

Awesome.. will check this out!

Been getting a lot of Codeacademy recommendations on Reddit as well.

Hello community, we just launched our new sales-oriented website and we’re looking for direct feedback to decipher what we can do to improve sign ups. We're getting a great click-through-rate on our ads, good traffic to the site, but low sign ups.

We're trying to see if the following is clear:

1. Messaging on what we’re offering is clear 2. Compelling enough to sign up 3. Something that you trust will help you if you sign up

This is a sales-oriented product to help with researching potential customers.

Any feedback on what we can improve would be great -- thank you!

Everytime I talk with a sales person while doing user research, they drop a sales product I’ve never heard of before. Where do sales people find all these products for their specific niches and use cases?

I’m creating an AI tool to help sales SDRs do research and use that research to perform an outreach task.

Does anyone have recommendations on what platforms help drive real usage of the tool’s functionalities for us to test its usefulness?

I’m not looking for fake users or a high volume of users or reviews. Just ones that will use it themselves to help them with their actual sales jobs.

Looking for sub-reddits or other forums similar to HackerNews and Quora.

Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Any recommendations for 3rd party companies that offer this?

Oh.. so there is a way to get profile and company info if you go through their application process?

I've heard it's grueling being an SDR (Sales Development Rep). What makes it so difficult?

1. Finding leads? 2. Preparing all the research for calls? 3. Other?

I've heard anecdotally that people say SDRs are usually 'new grads' who are starting off and want to 'put in their time' before moving into more senior sales roles.

Essentially, it comes off as a role that you just have do, but no one really likes it. Trying to understand why.
