We are looking for a proactive, results-driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to build qualified sales opportunities through outbound prospecting and appointment setting.

This is not a traditional appointment setter role. The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying prospects, researching target accounts, initiating conversations, qualifying opportunities, nurturing early-stage relationships, and scheduling meetings with decision-makers.

You will play a critical role in building the sales pipeline and will work closely with the leadership team to support business growth objectives.

Collaborate closely with leadership to ensure smooth handoffs.

Requirements

Required

2+ years of experience in Sales Development, Business Development, Lead Generation, or Appointment Setting.

Preferred Experience

Experience using:

AI productivity tools such as ChatGPT or Claude

Previous experience selling B2B services to U.S.-based companies is highly preferred.

Experience in healthcare, staffing, outsourcing, professional services, or other B2B industries is an advantage but not required.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role will be measured through:

Qualified leads generated

Meetings booked with target decision-makers

Meeting attendance/show rate

Cold call activity

Email and LinkedIn outreach activity

Positive response and conversion rates

Pipeline contribution

CRM accuracy and data quality

We're Looking For Someone Who...

Takes initiative instead of waiting for instructions.

Thinks independently and adapts conversations naturally.

Is confident speaking with senior business leaders.

Enjoys researching companies and uncovering opportunities.

Is persistent without being pushy.

Learns quickly and responds well to coaching.

Is resilient, positive, and goal-oriented.
