The Role

We are seeking a tenacious and high-energy Inside Sales Representative with a "hunter" mentality. This position is laser-focused on outbound prospecting to generate new business/expansion opportunities supporting an outside Account Executive/Account Manager.

You will be the engine of our sales growth, responsible for breaking into new accounts and customers through high-volume cold calling, strategic emailing, and social selling. Your primary goal is to uncover net-new opportunities and fill the pipeline with qualified meetings. This is a metrics-driven role ideal for a sales professional who thrives on "the hunt" and wants to control their success. 

3-6 Month Success Criteria

Success in this role is defined by your ability to hit consistent activity and output targets. You will be measured on your ability to achieve Leading Indicators and KPIs on a quarterly and monthly basis, including:

• Activity Cadence: consistently meeting or exceeding weekly targets for Outbound Calls, Strategic Emails and LinkedIn messages
• Pipeline Conversion: Successfully converting outbound activity into Meetings Booked with key decision-makers.
• Ramp Speed: Demonstrating a quick ramp-up in activity volume and pipeline contribution during the initial training period.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• High-Volume Prospecting: Work with your AE/AM to execute a rigorous outbound strategy (cold calls, emails, LinkedIn) to identify and engage key decision-makers in target accounts.
• Meeting Generation: Convert cold outreach into qualified meetings. You will be responsible for "booking the meeting" and ensuring smooth handoffs or progression through the sales cycle.
• Pipeline Development: Self-source new opportunities to ensure healthy pipeline coverage. You will not rely on inbound leads; you will build your own book of business.
• Data-Driven Execution: Maintain impeccable hygiene in Salesforce (SFDC) and leverage sales engagement tools (Outreach/Gong) to track your dials, connections, and conversions.
• Market Intelligence: Articulate the HG Insights value proposition to diverse stakeholders, quickly establishing credibility and interest.

What You'll Need (Qualifications)

• Located in Seattle or San Francisco
• Verifiable Sales Success: 1-3 years of sales experience, specifically in an outbound SDR/BDR or Inside Sales role.
• Grit & Resilience: A fearless approach to cold calling and objection handling. You must be comfortable with high activity volume and have historical success in doing so
• Tech Stack Proficiency: Hands-on experience with tools such as Salesforce, Outreach (or similar sales engagement platforms), LLMs, and ZoomInfo/LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; you can craft a compelling email and command attention on a cold call.
• Operational Discipline: Ability to manage your time effectively to hit daily and weekly activity metrics without micromanagement.
