Position Overview

SEIDOR is looking for a driven and commercially minded Sales Development Representative (SDR) to support the growth of its SAP ERP business, with a particular focus on identifying and activating businesses that fit SEIDOR's Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and may have a need for solutions such as SAP Business One and SAP Cloud ERP solutions.

The SDR will be responsible for researching target businesses, identifying relevant decision-makers and influencers, understanding potential business and technology needs, and executing a structured outbound sales process to generate qualified sales meetings.

The role requires a proactive and disciplined approach to prospecting across multiple channels, including email, LinkedIn and telephone, supported by sales intelligence and prospecting platforms such as Apollo, LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Apollo will be the primary platform used by the SDR for account and contact research, prospect management, outreach, sequencing, activity tracking and qualification information.

The SDR will work closely with the relevant Sales Executives to ensure that qualified meetings are successfully transitioned into the sales process. The SDR's responsibility is to identify, research, engage, qualify and activate prospects and secure quality meetings for the Sales Executive.

The SDR is not responsible for conducting product demonstrations. Product demonstrations, detailed solution discussions and progression of opportunities beyond the initial meeting will be managed by the relevant Sales Executive and/or solution specialist.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious individual to build a career in technology and B2B sales while developing specialist knowledge of ERP, SAP and business transformation solutions.
