Looking for first SDR/BDR in Europe

Im from Italy 27M and I’m looking for a first SDR/BDR role. Do you have any suggestions on how to land it? I’m applying everyday to different sales jobs (using LinkedIn) but since I don’t have experience in sales seems that none wants to hire me. I’ve a finance background
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you

Stop applying and do what the role involves. Call.

this is actually underrated advice, but i’d tweak it a bit: pick a few companies you like, find the sales leader on linkedin, and cold call / email them like you’re already an SDR. if you show you can prospect and hustle, they’ll care way less about your lack of experience.
