Sales Development Representative

Reporting into: Head of Sales

Compensation: $60,000

Sales Development Representatives have two roles: follow up of Inbound lead requests and outbound prospecting, getting prospects interested in learning more about Contently’s offerings. Inbound leads refer to prospects who have engaged with us through marketing activities such as our website and webcasts. Outbound refers to outreach to potential customers who match buyer personas and ideal customer profiles that have never engaged with our product and/or services.

The main objective of a Sales Development Representative is the qualification and disqualification of potential opportunities for our sales team. Sales Development Representatives set up meetings for sales executives to qualify and convert to opportunities (pipeline). Sales Development Representatives are measured on a specific number of qualified meetings monthly, as well as closed won new business for Contently.

The secondary objective of a Sales Development Representative is to learn about the sales process from cold lead through onboarded customers. You will learn about our company, our product, the content marketing industry, competitors, customer stories, and compelling events which help you perform at the top level.

• Follow up on marketing qualified leads meeting documented SLAs

Who You Are:
