We’re looking for a highly motivated and results-driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our team.

• Collaborate with Sales Teams: Collaborate with the sales team to ensure smooth handover of qualified leads and provide valuable insights about prospects and challenges. Support the team in building the pipeline and ensuring opportunities are followed up effectively.
• Provide Feedback to Marketing: Communicate any insights on the quality of leads, potential challenges, and opportunities to improve the lead generation process.
• Use Salesforce: Leverage Salesforce to track lead status, manage tasks, and ensure the smooth flow of prospects through the sales pipeline.
• Reporting & Performance Tracking: Regularly update senior leadership with performance metrics and sales pipeline status.

What You Bring

• Sales Development Experience: Proven track record in sales development or a similar role, with a strong focus on lead qualification and fast handover from marketing to sales.
• Outbound & Inbound Expertise: Experience in handling high-volume outbound calls and emails, with a keen understanding of how to engage prospects quickly and effectively.
• CRM Proficiency: Strong experience with Salesforce (or similar CRM tools), ensuring that you can track and manage your leads and activities effectively.
• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage and build rapport with prospects quickly.
• Goal-Oriented: Motivated by targets and deadlines, with a proven ability to meet or exceed monthly and quarterly KPIs.
• Organised & Efficient: Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to manage multiple leads, ensure timely follow-up, and keep prospects moving through the sales funnel.
• Team Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with both marketing and sales teams to ensure that MQLs are handled promptly and moved through the funnel with efficiency.
• Relationship Building: Ability to connect with people, understand their needs, and provide solutions that meet their goals.
• Experience with EAP, Insurance, or Group Benefits (Bonus): Experience in Employee Assistance Programs, insurance, or group benefits is a plus but not required.
