This is the case for mid-market SDRs selling into districts in 2024. other segments were on a meetings based quota which worked better but we were put on a pipeline quota this year with less than 50% attainment of our segment.

Loved working there until the new CEO changed the culture. DEIB died down but luckily the go-to-market team didn't change too much.
