- Faster response time directly influences conversion rates
- Generate Sales Accepted Opportunities (SAOs)
- Inbound to work off of leads within SFDC
- Focus on data integrity and activity logging
- Inbound does not touch any lead that has activity on it within the last 45 days by a different BDR.
 
#### Other measurements
 
BDRs will also be measured on the following:
### BDR Process
 
* Results
* Pipeline value of BDR generated opportunities

### Measurements
#### Variable Compensation
Full-time Inbound BDRs have a significant portion of their pay based on performance and objective attainment. Performance based "bonuses" are based on quota attainment.
 
Actions for obtaining results will be prescribed and measured, but are intentionally left out of bonus attainment calculations to encourage experimentation. Inbound BDRs will naturally be drawn to activities that have the highest yield, but freedom to choose their own daily activities will allow new, higher yield activities to be discovered.
 
### Guidelines for Bonuses
- Team and individual quotas are based on GitLab's revenue targets
- Quotas will be made known by having each BDR sign a participant form that clearly lays out quarterly quotas that match the company's revenue plan
- Bonuses are paid quarterly.
- Bonuses are based solely on sales accepted opportunities generated. Guidelines for a [sales accepted opportunity](/handbook/marketing/marketing-sales-development/sdr/#acceptedopp)
- A new BDR's first month's bonus is typically based on completing onboarding
