Founding Sales Development Representative

£36,500 basic salary, £70,000 OTE and the opportunity to help build a new outbound sales team in central London. If you have cold-calling experience and want to make a real impact, this could be your next move.

The Company

Join an established office rental specialist helping businesses find flexible, ready-to-use workspace across London and the UK. The company has supported thousands of organisations, from growing businesses to major household names. Based in Farringdon, its close-knit team of around eight works in a relaxed, sociable office with a casual dress code. The business is now investing in outbound sales, creating an opportunity to join at an early stage and help shape the team’s future.

The Role

As a Founding Sales Development Representative, you will help establish a new outbound sales function. You will reconnect with previous customers and historic enquiries, uncover office rental requirements and pass qualified opportunities to the Account Management team to close. You will work from an existing database and a simple script, with product training provided. This is a high-volume, phone-led position suited to someone who enjoys starting conversations and overcoming objections. There is potential to develop into a leadership role as the outbound team grows, although a formal progression pathway has not yet been agreed.

• Make proactive outbound calls to existing contacts and historic leads.
• Build rapport quickly and uncover current or upcoming office requirements.
• Qualify sales opportunities and hand them over to Account Managers.
• Maintain a consistent pipeline of conversations and follow-ups.
• Work towards indicative targets of 20 leads and four to five deals monthly.

Benefits and Perks
You will join a small, sociable team where your contribution to a new sales function will be visible from day one. As well as a starting salary of £36,500, you will also get the following benefits:

•    On-target earnings of £70,000 through sales commission.
•    Commission linked to business generated from your leads.
•    Initial product training and a straightforward sales process.
•    Opportunity to help build the outbound team, with potential leadership progression.
•    A relaxed, casual-dress office environment in Farringdon.

Requirements

Must-have:

• Previous outbound cold-calling experience, in any industry.
• A confident, engaging and professional telephone manner.
• Resilience, persistence and a strong work ethic.
• Ability to work in the Farringdon office five days per week.

Nice-to-have

• Experience generating qualified leads for another sales team, and an interest in helping develop a new outbound function.
