Business Development Representative

Job Overview

This Business Development Representative role is about starting conversations that turn into real opportunities. You'll be the first point of contact, identifying and qualifying potential clients to build a strong pipeline for the sales team. It's a foundational position where your work directly fuels growth, and you'll be based in Lexington, KY.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Prospect for new business using a mix of channels like email, social platforms, and phone calls.
• Qualify inbound leads quickly, assessing their fit and readiness to buy before handing them off.
• Schedule discovery meetings and product demos for account executives, making sure their calendars are full.
• Keep our CRM updated with meticulous notes so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Collaborate with marketing to refine messaging based on what you're hearing from prospects.

Requirements

• A year or two in a sales or customer facing role gives you a good foundation.
• You're naturally curious and can hold a conversation that's more about listening than pitching.
• Basic tech savviness; you'll pick up new software fast.
• The mental stamina to handle rejection without letting it slow you down is essential.
• A high school diploma is required; some college coursework is a plus but not mandatory.

What It's Like In This Role

The environment is collaborative but self directed. You'll work closely with account executives and marketing, sharing insights that help everyone win. Most of your day will be spent in tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and an email sequencing platform. Expect a steady pace; some days are packed with calls, others are for deep research and outreach planning.
