  Started as

  Sales Development Representative

  Then

  Account Executive (as of December 2020)

  SDR to Account Executive in one year, managing a team of SDRs along the way.

  Natalie booked pitches for Abstrakt's Account Executives. Within a year she was taking those meetings and closing them herself. Managing a team of SDRs is what made her want the AE seat: she watched the process work for Abstrakt the same way it works for clients.

  Advice: Listen up. Don't be afraid to fall on your face. Use what you've learned.

In their words: the team

• “I have made some of the most genuine connections of my life inside these walls. My best friends work here. It's great being surrounded by like-minded, hard-working individuals that have career goals similar to mine. I feel pushed, supported, and appreciated here every day.”

• “Push yourself and be honest with yourself. So much of the SDR role to start is about patience, consistency, and building the right habits, and those habits will take you anywhere you want to go, at Abstrakt or beyond.”

• “We have a lot of room for growth. If you're motivated, you can go anywhere. You will have support from your colleagues from day one. Be prepared to grind and you will see incredible results from your hard work.”

• “What I enjoy most about working at Abstrakt are the things I've been able to learn, the connections I've made across the company, and the positive atmosphere that I get to be a part of every day. I get to come in every day to something new where my role is needed for our company (as well as our partners) to grow, and it's something really special to be a part of.”

• “It's a place where hard work and dedication is rewarded with opportunity. If you come to work every day and give your all, there's no limit on how much you can grow. Each person here has a different backstory and different goals in life, but Abstrakt is a place where each person is given the same tools with so many different growth paths.”

• “If you really want to grow in yourself, grow in your career, and learn many different aspects of a fast growing company, then Abstrakt is a perfect company to work for!”

• “There's a community here that is strong and rewarding, and I don't know how many other places you can find that.”

• “I get to problem solve and have an outlet for my creativity at the same time. I really love the challenges that arise with being a web designer, and I enjoy that no two days really end up looking the same.”

• “I love working with my team. We all come from different backgrounds, and we get along well. We get the job done, and it's nice to know everyone did their part of the project. And when times get busy, everyone checks up with one another and lets others know they can help if needed.”

• “I don't know where else I'd find a group of people that clicks as well as my team (and those we directly interact with) does, and that's something priceless to me. It's a cliché, but we really do work hard and play hard at the same time here, and it's wonderful.”

• “The people make it a fun place to be, and leadership does a good job providing a good work-life balance and the chance to grow faster.”
