About the Role

SaaS Academy is seeking a dynamic and driven individual to join our team as a Sales Development Representative (SDR). This is not your typical SDR position; we're looking for someone who is in the top 1%, demonstrating exceptional outbound business development skills and a commitment to exceeding expectations. As an SDR, you will play a crucial role in driving growth by sourcing qualified Growth Sessions for our Account Executive team. Your primary objective will be to schedule these sessions, engage with potential clients, and effectively address objections while exceeding outbound call activity expectations.

Here are the primary responsibilities of our Sales Development Representative role, including but not limited to:

Responsibilities & Success Metrics

1. Outperform Outbound Call Expectations: Within two weeks, you will consistently exceed 100 outbound dials per day. Success will be measured by your ability to maintain a strong phone presence, efficiently manage warm leads in our CRM, and demonstrate a proven track record of success in outbound sales within a fast-paced, goal-oriented environment.
2. Source Qualified Growth Sessions: Within one month, you will set a minimum of 10 Growth Sessions, with the ongoing expectation of setting three per day by month two. Success in this area will be determined by the number of Growth Sessions sourced, as well as the qualified show rate on these sessions. Additionally, your ability to effectively communicate with potential clients, understand their needs, handle objections, and accurately report sales pipeline data in HubSpot will be critical metrics.
3. Collaborate in a High-Performing Sales Team: As an SDR, you will consistently display a growth mindset and actively seek feedback to improve performance. Success will be measured by your engagement in 1:1 and team meetings, sharing successful strategies and tactics, attending coaching sessions, and collaborating cross-functionally with other departments such as Customer Success and Marketing. Your contributions will directly impact the close rate and sales velocity of our business.
