Our Sales Development Representatives work closely with Account Executives to understand prospective customers’ business needs, identify the right opportunities, and create a strong first experience with Demandforce.

What’s in it for you:

• $50,000 - $52,500 base salary + uncapped commission

• Paid training + 2-month commission guarantee

• Career advancement path to Account Executive

• Hands-on experience with sales tools and technology, including Salesforce and ZoomInfo

Who You Are:

• Motivated, competitive, and goal-oriented

• A strong conversationalist who can build rapport quickly

• Naturally curious and comfortable asking questions to understand what a prospect really needs

• Comfortable thinking on your feet and navigating unexpected questions

• Organized and able to manage multiple conversations, follow-ups, and lead sources at once

• Confident on the phone and comfortable communicating through phone, email, and live chat

• Able to recognize buying signals, uncover a prospect’s needs, and confidently guide the conversation toward a next step

How You’ll Do It:

This is not a traditional cold-calling-only SDR role. You’ll be one of the first people prospective customers speak with when they contact Demandforce.

Throughout the day, you’ll respond to inbound leads from phone calls, website inquiries, live chat, marketing campaigns, and other channels while also completing outbound follow-up. The role averages approximately 65 inbound and outbound calls per day in addition to email and chat activity.

Some prospects will know exactly what they’re looking for. Others may simply know they have a problem they want to solve. Your job is to quickly understand what’s happening in their business, ask the right questions, communicate how Demandforce may be able to help, and determine whether it makes sense to schedule a deeper conversation with an Account Executive.

You’ll need to balance speed with quality. Responding quickly matters, but so does making each conversation count.

• Respond quickly to new inbound prospects and follow up consistently

• Build rapport and lead productive, consultative conversations

• Ask strong discovery questions to understand the prospect’s business, challenges, and priorities

• Identify qualified opportunities and confidently ask prospects to schedule a meeting

• Handle common questions and objections without getting thrown off

• Maintain organized follow-up across calls, email, chat, and sales tools

• Work closely with Account Executives to create a smooth handoff and give them useful context before each appointment

• Learn Demandforce’s products, customers, competitors, and the industries we serve

• Participate in ongoing coaching and development

• Meet activity, appointment-setting, and performance goals
