JOB PURPOSE
Reporting to the Sales Development and Enablement Manager, the Sales Development Representative (SDR) will join a strong Sales Team that values collaboration, communication, and transparency selling the PeopleGrove platform that connects students and alumni with the network and resources they need to realize their full potential before, during, and after their time in college to buyers responsible for improving the student higher education experience. The SDR researches prospective customers, and qualifies, disqualifies, or places prospects into nurture queues using a prescribed lead management process. The SDR is accountable for researching strong-fit institutions/organizations and filling the top of the sales pipeline with quality sales-ready leads for the sales team to pursue.

POSITION SUMMARY
SDRs foster prospective customer outreach (via email, cold calls, social media, and other creative channels), conduct market research, and maintain appropriate level of knowledge regarding the company’s cultural resources, technology solutions, and service offerings. The SDR will conduct exploratory conversations with potential customers, use business acumen to identify how PeopleGrove could help them with their needs, and successfully position the PeopleGrove value proposition. The SDR also qualifies inbound leads that come from the Marketing Department by aligning customer business objectives to the company’s solutions. The SDR will continue to nurture relationships with those prospects who aren't ready to buy through the use of the phone, email, and social media.

The SDR will source early-stage sales qualified leads and schedule meetings for Account Executives (AEs) to begin the sales process. The SDR is expected to meet assigned goals while also ensuring a positive prospective customer outreach experience. The sDR function is critical to building a strong pipeline and ensuring the company meets its revenue targets. The SDR allocates 30% to outbound prospecting/receiving direction from AEs, 30% to inbound activities primarily responding to Marketing Qualified Leads, and 40% researching buyers in higher education institutions and other education-related organizations.
