The Role
We're hiring a Business Development Representative to generate net-new advertising opportunities for our Digital Inside Sales program. You'll prospect into non-endemic brands — financial services, retail, consumer goods, and similar verticals — that want to reach our proprietary in-market travel audience. Your job is to identify the right companies, run discovery conversations, qualify business fit, and hand off pipeline to our closing sales team. This is a structured, outbound, quota-carrying role. You'll own Stages 1 and 2 of the sales cycle — prospecting and qualification — and hand off warm, documented opportunities.
What You'll Do
Manage both outbound prospecting and inbound leads routed to your queue — researching and prioritising across assigned verticals via phone, email, and LinkedIn. Run consultative discovery to uncover business objectives, budget, authority, need, and timing — and qualify or disqualify with documented rationale. Communicate our advertising value proposition clearly; handle objections and build appetite for a deeper conversation. Schedule qualified meetings for the closing sales team and deliver complete, context-rich handoffs. Maintain accurate CRM records; respond to new leads within agreed SLAs and track your own activity, quality, and conversion performance. Share prospect and market feedback to sharpen targeting, messaging, and sales plays.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree or minimum 1 year of experience in business development, sales development, or inside sales with a demonstrable track record in outbound prospecting.
Preferred Qualifications
Strong discovery and qualification skills; comfortable making honest go/no-go calls and documenting your reasoning. Clear, confident communicator — written and verbal — able to engage
