You're hitting your number and the AE seat still hasn't come. Most people waste a year waiting to be noticed. Walk in with the bar, the evidence and the ask instead.

You've been an SDR for a year or more and you hit most of your number, most quarters.
Well short of target? Fix the number first, then come back. It tells you that straight, in lesson one.
Short lessons, then you say it out loud to a coach that pushes back. It ends with the full mock interview: four rounds, no warm-up.
Your certificate: The full mock interview, start to finish, is the check that earns the certificate.
What actually changes between SDR and AE, the real promotion bar with numbers on it, treating your last six months as an AE apprenticeship rather than time served, and building a case out of evidence instead of enthusiasm - said out loud after every lesson.
Module 1 test: 6 questions on the bar and the evidence. Pass at 80%.
Running the conversation with your manager, the internal AE interview and the mock discovery call it usually hides, turning a 'not yet' into a dated written plan, and holding the seat through your first 90 days.
Module 2 test: 6 questions on the ask and the interview. Pass at 80%.
The internal AE interview, rehearsed for real: why AE and why now, your numbers under pressure, the deal you influenced, the objection round, and then the whole thing end to end with no warm-up.
Spoken check: The full mock interview, start to finish - the conversation that earns the certificate.
