Sales Development is about nurturing and engaging with prospects (organisations that don’t have CrowdStrike) to start conversations to understand their current cyber security situation and goals
You’ll use multiple channels including phone calls, emails, LinkedIn messages and more to connect with IT & Security professionals at these organisations, through a mix of outbound prospecting (you proactively reaching out) and inbound lead follow up (when a prospect engages with a marketing asset or event)
Through question driven conversations, you’ll identify if there is pain in the current situation that CrowdStrike can help solve, you’ll then seek to book a meeting between the prospect and an account executive to explore this further
You will have monthly targets on booking these meetings for your account teams to run, and you will be paid commissions for achieving and overachieving on your targets (uncapped)
You’ll work closely with key members of your broader CrowdStrike team including your peers, managers, account executives (that you will support) and our marketing function; who create assets, campaigns and events to help you engage and nurture our prospects
You will be onboarded and given a world-class foundation in professional selling (including best practice sales frameworks) that will serve you throughout your career
You will be trained in taking the complexities of cyber security and simplifying this so you can have meaningful conversations with customer focused on solving their problems
Finally, you will commit to continual improvement and will undertake our formal progression certifications over your time in sales development that will prepare you for opportunities to promote into roles as an account executive, account manager, sales engineer and more (CrowdStrike has a rich history of former SDR’s who are now excelling in promoted roles)
