Job Description

Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Employment Type:Full-time, Independent ContractorWork Model:RemoteWork Hours:​​​​​​US timeAbout the role:The client is looking for an exceptionalSales Development Representativeto join its growing sales organization and directly support its U.S.-based Sales Executives.

This is a true outbound sales development position. The SDR will not be responsible for closing the company's high-ticket products. Instead, their job is to create qualified opportunities for the Sales Executives by consistently identifying, contacting, engaging, and booking meetings with prospective clinic and business customers.

The company currently hastwo Sales Executives in the United States. Those executives are responsible for owning opportunities and ultimately closing business, but they need substantially more qualified conversations entering the top of the funnel. The SDR will become the engine that creates those opportunities.

The goal is simple:

Give the Sales Executives more qualified meetings so they can spend their time selling rather than prospecting.

This person will work directly with the Sales Executives and receive hands-on direction from them. They will be given prospect lists and will be expected to execute a high-volume outbound calling process while maintaining professional, highly fluent communication.

What You'll Be Selling

The primary commercial focus is the company's red-light therapy technology, particularly its full-body red-light therapy beds.

These are not low-ticket consumer products. The company sells sophisticated recovery and wellness technology into professional environments, with products capable of commandingfive-figure purchase prices. The owner specifically described the clinic business as high-ticket and indicated that products can sell for well above $10,000.

The SDR therefore needs to understand that every meeting booked has meaningful commercial value.

This isn't about making calls simply to hit a dial number.

The objective is to create legitimate sales opportunities with clinics and businesses that could become customers.

What Success Looks Like

The successful SDR will become a reliable source of qualified pipeline for the company's U.S. Sales Executives.

Success will ultimately be measured by more than simply dialing 100–150 numbers per day. The best person will combinehigh activity with high-quality conversations and strong meeting conversion.

The Sales Executives should feel that having this person on the team materially changes their ability to sell.

Instead of spending large portions of their day searching for prospects and making cold calls, they should have a consistent flow of qualified opportunities entering their calendars.

Ideal Candidate

The client is open to SDRs and appointment setters from a variety of industries. Direct experience selling red-light therapy, medical devices, wellness technology, or fitness equipment isnot required.
