Business Development Representative - IN

Job description

The Business Development Representative (BDR) is a road-based, field-facing seat responsible for generating demand and qualifying opportunities across the assigned State of Indiana. On the road five days a week, the BDR proactively prospects channel partners and end users, follows up on leads (MQLs), and qualifies them to the Kattsafe 5/5 standard so that clean, well-qualified Deals can be handed to the Territory Sales Reps (TSRs) and Enterprise Account Executives (EAEs) to close. The BDR is the tip of the spear: out in the market every day, building relationships, uncovering pain, and feeding a healthy pipeline. This is a hunting and qualifying role, not a full-cycle closing role, and it sits within the Business Development team in the Sales & Marketing department.
