**Position Type:** Full-Time, Remote
**Working Hours:** U.S. client business hours (aligned with prospect time zones and outreach cadences)
**About the Role:**
Our client is seeking an SDR / Outbound Outreach Specialist to build a pipeline by identifying, prospecting, and qualifying potential customers. This role is focused on outbound activities — researching accounts, personalizing outreach, engaging prospects through multiple channels, and booking qualified meetings for account executives. An SDR is often the first human interaction a prospect has with a company, making the role critical to both revenue growth and brand perception.
**Responsibilities:**
Prospecting & Research:
* Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Apollo, Crunchbase, or similar tools to build lead lists.
* Research accounts and contacts to identify decision-makers and tailor outreach by industry, persona, and use case.
Outbound Outreach:
* Execute 60–100 daily touchpoints across email, phone, LinkedIn, and video messages.
* Write and personalize outbound emails using tools like Outreach.io, SalesLoft, HubSpot Sequences, or Apollo.
* Conduct 30–40 cold calls per day with clear scripts and objection-handling frameworks.
Campaign Management:
* Build and test multi-step cadences (5–10 touchpoints over 10–15 days).
* A/B test subject lines, CTAs, and call scripts for effectiveness.
* Track and optimize reply rates, conversion rates, and booked meetings.
CRM & Data Management:
* Log all activities in Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zoho.
* Update lead and account records with accurate notes, stages, and outcomes.
* Maintain pipeline hygiene by closing out stale leads and refreshing lists.
Collaboration:
* Work with Account Executives to hand off qualified opportunities.
* Align with marketing on lead quality, messaging, and campaign feedback.
* Share insights from conversations to inform product and market strategy.
**What Makes You a Perfect Fit:**
* Resilient and motivated by goals and KPIs.
* Strong communicator — persuasive, concise, and professional across phone, email, and LinkedIn.
* Curious researcher who tailors outreach based on industry and persona.
* Process-driven yet adaptable — able to test, learn, and iterate quickly.
**Required Experience & Skills (Minimum):**
* 1–2 years in SDR, BDR, or outbound lead generation roles.
* Proficiency with at least one sales engagement platform (Outreach.io, SalesLoft, HubSpot, Apollo).
* Experience making cold calls and managing outbound campaigns.
* Familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho).
**Ideal Experience & Skills:**
* 2–4 years outbound SDR experience with consistent quota attainment.
* Knowledge of B2B SaaS, marketing services, or professional services sales cycles.
* Familiarity with sales methodologies (SPIN, MEDDIC, Challenger, Sandler).
* Experience generating pipeline for enterprise or mid-market accounts.
**What Does a Typical Day Look Like?**
An SDR’s day revolves around building pipeline through consistent, targeted outbound outreach. You will:
* Research and build lead lists in the morning, ensuring you have accurate contacts and context for outreach.
* Launch multi-channel campaigns — sending emails, making cold calls, and connecting on LinkedIn.
* Personalize messaging based on prospect industry, pain points, and persona.
* Track metrics and refine outreach by monitoring open rates, reply rates, and booked meetings.
* Update CRM records to keep data clean and opportunities moving through the funnel.
