Business Development Representative

Available Locations: Tokyo, JAPAN
About the Role:
In this role, you will be responsible for identifying and researching prospective Cloudflare accounts in our Enterprise segment (2500 or more employees and/or strategic logos in the region), conducting outreach to the appropriate contacts within each account, sourcing meetings, and running discovery calls using sales qualification frameworks (e.g., BANT and CHIIP).
You will be paired with Strategic/Enterprise Account Executives who will work to close opportunities that you source for them. You will also work with a variety of cross functional teams including product marketing, field marketing and sales enablement.
While there are activity benchmarks that lead to successful BDRs, this is an autonomous role that gives you the opportunity to be creative and proactive with your outbounding strategies. You will not be given a list and script to repeat. Instead, you are given a quarterly goal and can work with your manager to create methods to achieve them.
You will not be expected to have a thorough understanding of Cloudflare products at the outset, but we do expect you to have a strong interest in our industry and product line. You will be responsible for identifying product-fits across a variety of companies so having a passion for Cloudflare is important.

You will do this through a maniacal focus on people, process, and tools.
