About Firstbase, A Subsidiary of AppDirect. 

Remote work is the biggest workplace revolution in history. Nothing will deliver a higher quality of life upgrade in the next decade.

Today, we serve both workers and businesses by doing two things: we give businesses the ability to instantly support remote workers with all the physical goods they need to do great work (from computers to furniture to company swag & perks), and we give workers the ability to pick and choose what they need for their unique circumstances, then return it when they leave.

About you

As a Business Development Representative (BDR) at AppDirect, you’ll be at the forefront of our revenue engine—responsible for identifying and qualifying potential customers and driving new business pipeline for our Account Executives. Your role is strictly focused on outbound prospecting, engaging key stakeholders, and setting up high-quality meetings. You will become an expert in identifying patterns across account attributes such as company size, industry, location, technology stack, and growth signals.

What you’ll do and how you’ll have an impact

  • Generate 10+ qualified meetings per week by executing targeted outreach via cold calls, emails, and LinkedIn InMails.

  • Partner with Account Executives to conduct strategic account planning and identify high-priority target accounts.

  • Map out account themes and build scalable prospecting strategies based on industry trends, technologies, and buying signals.

  • Run outbound sequences using tools like Outreach, ZoomInfo, Salesforce, HubSpot, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

  • Overcome objections and create meaningful dialogue through consultative, value-driven messaging.

  • Become a trusted advisor by establishing and nurturing early-stage relationships with prospects.

  • Maintain meticulous activity tracking and performance reporting through our sales tech stack.

  • Consistently meet or exceed monthly and quarterly pipeline generation goals.

What We’re Looking For

  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent related work experience.

  • At least 1 year in a customer facing role with ability to cross sell and upsell.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a strong phone presence and active listening ability.

  • Meticulous attention to detail and strong time management skills.

  • High energy, positive mindset, and a relentless drive to win.

  • Proficiency with corporate productivity tools (email, voicemail, Google Workspace).

  • Familiarity with Salesforce, Outreach, ZoomInfo, HubSpot, or similar platforms is a plus.

  • Previous exposure to sales methodology or formal training is a bonus—but we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
