Sales Development Representative

Overview

Join our sales team in Burnham, Slough as a Sales Development Representative (SDR).

We are a fire suppression specialist. We design, supply, install and maintain fire suppression systems for the trade and for end users.

Your job is to get us in front of the right people. That means making daily outbound calls to decision makers in businesses where fire suppression is relevant. You find the person who can say yes, start the conversation, and book a call or meeting along side our Sales Director, who will take the technical discussion from there.

This is a full-time, office-based role, Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:30. Salary £26,000–£27,500, plus commission when customers place repeat orders. Around 12 months’ sales development or similar experience is ideal.

• Use phone, email and LinkedIn to open doors and secure a conversation with the right person
• Qualify enough to know we are speaking to someone relevant, then book the appointment for the Sales Director
• Capture accurate contact details and a short handover so the Sales Director can pick up on a technical level
• Follow up inbound enquiries, referrals and previous conversations promptly
• Keep same-day records of all activity in the CRM
• Work from agreed call lists and keep the pipeline moving
• Report daily and weekly on calls made, conversations held and appointments booked

Skills

• Around 12 months’ experience in SDR, BDR, inside sales, telesales or B2B appointment setting
• Confident making a high volume of outbound calls and speaking to people who are busy
• Clear spoken and written English
• Comfortable using CRM software such as Monday, HubSpot or similar
• Organised, persistent and honest about what is a real appointment and what is not
• Able to work independently in the office and hand over cleanly to the Sales Director
• Eligible to work in the UK and able to work from our Burnham, Slough office, 08:00–16:30, Monday to Friday
• Useful, not essential: any background in fire protection, fire alarms, building services, construction or facilities management. Technical knowledge is not required.
