New SDR Outbound Onboarding Toolkit

Every swipe file, checklist, and rubric from the outbound library bundled into a single first-30-days plan for a new SDR's first live sequence.

What's inside

  • Toolkit contents map: which resource is used in which week
  • Week 1 (Days 1–5): Foundation schedule
  • Week 2 (Days 6–10): Guided Build schedule
  • Week 3 (Days 11–15): Guided Execution schedule
  • Week 4 (Days 16–20): Independent Ramp Checkpoint schedule
  • Days 21–30: Full Independent Cycle
  • New-hire onboarding tracker table with sign-off column

This toolkit bundles the full outbound resource set into a sequenced first-30-days plan. It doesn't replace the individual resources — it tells a new hire and their manager exactly which one to open, and when.
