In this role, you will:

  • Source new business by identifying, researching, and qualifying new leads weekly, resulting in 10+ prospects added to your book of business per day.

  • Connect weekly on 1:1’s with your manager, a dedicated mentor and with the Account Executive team to keep a pulse on industry trends, competitive movements, and evolving market needs to inform outreach strategy and messaging.

You will bring to the table:

  • 1-2 years of outbound BDR or SDR experience preferred; however, strong candidates with demonstrated coursework or internship experience in sales encouraged to apply.
  • Experience cold calling and smart selling to various types of businesses or merchants.
  • A coachable mindset: you seek feedback, apply it quickly, and consistently improve.
  • A high degree of diligence and accountability.
  • Comfortable in a competitive environment, with evidence of personal ambition.
  • Relentless persistence in the face of daily rejection and delays from potential merchants.
  • An aptitude for research and understanding data.
