Long story short, I started a new AE role after being unemployed for 6 months. The role seems to be a lot different than what was described in the interview. Im expected to make 80 calls/ 10 in person door knocks and 60 Emails per day with no lead list whatsoever. I have to find the contact info for 80 IT decision makers every day, then call them. The prospecting takes forever because we can only provide service to certain businesses. Im about a month in and I’m still on ramp. I have a few deals in the funnel already and have set multiple new customer meetings from strategically prospecting my way. Despite this, I have already received two emails about my activity metrics from senior leadership.

I’m already feeling burnt out and dread knowing I have to find 80 more contacts every single day. Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve these KPIs? Anything helps at this point. Thank you!
