About the Sales Development Representative role:

The Sales Development Representative (SDR) helps generate sales for Prospecting Account Executives (AE’s). The SDR is responsible for effectively and efficiently researching, engaging, and connecting prospective customers to the sales team to drive “top of the sales funnel” activity and help generate pipeline. In addition to prospecting sales opportunities in the market, the SDR will collaborate with AE’s on targeted lists, planning outreach, and building prospect pools. The SDR role is critical in surfacing new opportunities for our sales team. Given this, the SDR role is a quota-bearing role. The SDR’s Quotas will include monthly goals for the scheduling of qualified initial sales meetings (Discovery Calls) led by an AE and building pipeline on prospect accounts.

• Track and report on individual progress to monthly and quarterly goals for initial sales meetings and pipeline sourced
• Meet regularly (weekly or biweekly) with your assigned Account Executives and communicate timely and accurately with the team to provide updates on weekly outreach activity, successes, and additional areas and prospects to target
• Additional professional development opportunities including shadowing, training and certification of key activities and skills across the sales process (discovery, demos, relationship engagement calls) to prepare strong performers for next commercial steps as Account Executives or Account Managers
• Other job-related duties as assigned

What we’ll want you to have:

• Previous experience or knowledge of high-volume outbound contact (email & phone) in a sales environment
