• Identify, research, and perform personalized outreach to companies that match our Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs).
  
  
• Ensure an exceptional customer experience with natural empathy for the needs of both new prospects and existing accounts.
  
  
• Provide ongoing feedback on workflows, sales tools, lead quality, and marketing campaign results.
  
  
• Help define and continuously improve the outbound sales motion, contributing to the foundation of our demand generation process.
  
  

Success in This Role

• Consistently deliver against quota, even when working with imperfect systems and processes.
  
  
• Maintain a zero‑inbox mindset while providing prompt, meaningful responses to prospects.
  
  
• Demonstrate the drive to manage a high volume of daily call activity and personalized outreach across multiple channels.
  
  
• Use AI tools (such as ChatGPT or Gemini) to simplify manual tasks, enhance prospect research, personalize outreach, and maximize productivity.
  
  
• Communicate clearly and confidently (both verbal and written), with strong active listening skills and a consultative approach to handling objections.
  
  
• Stay extremely detail‑oriented and take effective notes to keep management informed on account status and progress.
  
  
• Exhibit excellent time management skills with the ability to multitask, prioritize, and adapt easily to the company’s evolving needs.
  
  

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience in inbound and cold outbound sales or sales development.
  
  
• Proven success in meeting or exceeding quota in an SDR or similar role within a SaaS environment.
  
  
• A consistent track record of performance through creative, strategic outreach using personalized emails, phone calls, texts, and social media.
  
  
• Experience with sales tools such as Salesforce, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and ZoomInfo.
  
  
• Self‑aware, coachable, and able to apply feedback in real time while overcoming challenges.
  
  
• Intellectually curious and excited to bring your own unique flavor to the SDR role.
  
  
• Aligned with and committed to living out our values: Professionalism, Trust, Simplicity, and Playfulness.
  
  
• Must be able to travel domestically up to 35% of the time for events and trade shows.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience in construction technology sales is a distinct advantage.
  
  
• Familiarity with tools such as Clay, HubSpot, RB2B (or other intent signal platforms), and website chatbots.
  
  
• Prior experience working in hypergrowth startup environments.
