About You

As the ideal Business Development Representative (BDR) candidate, you have a positive and energetic personality, you are a strong written and verbal communicator, and you have a confident and professional demeanor. You are growth-minded, you actively seek out daily opportunities for improvement, and you are passionate about evolving yourself into the best sales professional you can become.

You want to be challenged while exceeding expectations, you are flexible enough to understand what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow, and you enjoy working with likeminded teammates who maintain a standard of excellence.

You may or may not have prior professional software or technical sales experience, but you have a strong interest in network technologies and automation and you are very excited to play a central role in the scale-up strategy of an enterprise software 

company.

About the Role

The outbound prospecting strategy in enterprise software sales is broken. Customers no longer want to be pitched via cold call or e-mail. The modern buyer does more than two-thirds of their research before engaging with a sales rep and makes conclusions about the market offerings without ever speaking to many of the vendors with relevant solutions.

We need you to create a better experience for our potential customers as they navigate their own buyer’s journey, using intent data to give them the information they need when they need it. We want you to support and develop their journey, serving as an information broker and resource without immediately resorting to stale sales pitches.

The lead development representative is responsible creating demand using an innovative tech stack to engage with customers where they are in their buying journey, helping them further develop their understanding of how network automation and orchestration can solve their business challenges. You’ll focus on expanding the buying team, so the customer’s entire team benefits from the knowledge, and once they see the value of what network automation can deliver to them, you’ll help connect them to the sales team.
