Now Hiring
Business Development Representative
We are looking for a friendly, capable, communicative person to support our sales initiatives. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our sales funnel from lead generation to deal closing.
This position is remote, in a distributed team.
Who We Are
At Grist, we’re building the next generation spreadsheet-database. We’re a small but mighty team in early stages of growth, with a well-developed and ambitious product. Our customers love us, and their enthusiasm proves that we have the potential to be a major player in the data productivity space. We’re looking for a Business Development Representative who will test outbound sales strategies, qualify inbound sales opportunities, and help refine our sales process.
We value our people and offer generous compensation, paid vacation, and comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision benefits. This is a remote position.
Responsibilities
We are looking for a combination of strong communication skills and experience in B2B software sales. You will be responsible for qualifying inbound leads generated through collaboration with the marketing department, implementing outbound sales strategies, and thinking creatively around how to refine and reach Grist’s ideal customers.
Formalizing sales is a new endeavor for Grist. You will be working directly with the CEO to test and iterate on sales methods. The goal is two-fold: increase sales, and create a replicable sales process that can be expanded upon with new hires in a growing sales team. As the first sales-only hire, you will have an opportunity to grow into the lead sales expert at Grist. This role will not primarily be responsible for closing deals, but will have an opportunity to grow into that role.
Additional responsibilities:
- Generate and qualify leads, book meetings between qualified leads and the CEO, and shadow those meetings to learn how to sell Grist.
- Plan and execute outbound sales experiments including over email, LinkedIn, phone calls, and events.
- Qualify inbound sales leads (generated by marketing) to help the company further refine its ideal customer profile and increase sales.
- Interact with customers and initiate discovery conversations to learn more about enterprise customer needs, including over email, video calls, on the community forum, and Discord.
- Become an expert in Grist to better understand the myriad of use cases it addresses.
Requirements
- 3 to 5 years experience.
- Experience selling B2B software, ideally with a collaborative data tool.
- Strong communication skills.
- Interested in technology and innovation with a willingness to learn new technologies.
- Experience selling to technical users (developers, IT admin) is a plus.
- Coursework on software engineering or databases is a plus.
Compensation
- Salary in the range $75k – $90k.
- Comprehensive health insurance plan.
- Four weeks paid vacation.
- Remote work.
