Sales Development Rep (fully remote + young energetic team) [CLOSED]

Please note - the video above is labelled “Project SEO specialist” instead of “Senior Sales Development Rep” but still covers the same things I wanted to outline about team culture and what we're about at Growth Partners Media. Also, note that our team now consists of 80% people from the Balkan region.

We are seeking a Senior Sales Development Rep with a passion for growth and innovation to join our dynamic team at Growth Partners Media. We are a small but rapidly growing marketing agency based in the UK, delivering top-tier link-building services to clients worldwide, primarily focusing on early-stage to Series B software companies.

As the Sales Development Lead at Growth Partners Media, you will have significant prior experience in the SDR role and play a critical role in generating new business opportunities and expanding our client base. You will be responsible for identifying, qualifying, and nurturing leads, as well as working closely with our talented young team who are dedicated to achieving excellence while maintaining a relaxed, fun working environment.

Not only do we achieve growth for our clients, helping them build their businesses, hire more people and provide more value to the world. But we achieve growth internally by pushing ourselves, challenging our own assumptions and learning from our mistakes 💪

This is a job where you will be tested.

You will need to wear many hats. Deal with pressure. Plan. Prioritise. Be accountable to your leads. And step out of your comfort zone. You're not easily phased and can take constructive feedback.

You're interested in learning and growing as a person. Challenging and developing yourself is important to you.

The rewards will be great. As we grow there is not only huge income and promotion potential but the opportunity to learn new skills, get involved in different areas of the business and be part of a startup that is doing things differently.

This is an industry-leading opportunity with the ability to earn far beyond an average salary as a Sales Development Representative. With achievable (conservative) OTEs of €3000 - €5000 per month. €36,000 - €60,000 per annum.

This role is a contract opportunity.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Contact and qualify potential customers using outbound methods with a primary focus on using the phone.
• Using tools like Slack, Linkedin, Salesmate, Instantly, and Apollo to connect, nurture and convert cold prospects into paying customers.
• Conducting targeted prospect research to build a robust pipeline of leads and book sales calls for the Founder to close (you may also have to close some calls yourself).
  • There’s no hard sell here. We don’t even consider that we ‘sell’ at all. People come to us looking for help, we guide them on the right path, explain how we can help and if it’s a good fit then they choose to work with us.
  • If you’re looking to use your energy, empathy and enthusiasm for helping businesses to grow then we’re keen to hear from you.
• Creating and implementing effective outreach strategies, including email sequences, LinkedIn campaigns and outbound calling to engage and connect with potential clients.
• Handling responses and following up with prospects in a timely and professional manner.
• Working closely with the Founder to develop and refine messaging and positioning for all forms of outreach.
• Conducting qualification calls with prospects to identify their needs and pain points, and to determine if our services are a good fit.
• Reach out to existing customers via email and video messages including:
  • Following up on sales calls with relevant information to keep us front of mind and trigger purchases sometimes many months and repeated contacts after an initial sales call.
  • Ask for and receive referrals and introductions to new potential clients, contacting them and introducing them to Growth Partners and what we do
• Take ownership of the CRM and populate the system with information following your customer calls and interactions
  • You’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve our processes whether through improved scripts, systems or automations within our tools
  • Having the right information at the right time is key so our systems and processes need to support this whilst still being easy to use and maintain.
• Continuously monitor, analyse, and optimise your outreach efforts to improve results.
• To meet (or exceed) monthly performance targets, including leads generated, meetings booked, and new clients won.
• Participating in team meetings, training sessions, and knowledge-sharing activities to develop your skills and stay up-to-date with industry trends
