We are looking for a high-energy, persuasive, and strategically minded Sales Development Representative (SDR) to expand our outbound pipeline and open doors to high-value opportunities. If you excel at prospecting, creating demand, and moving conversations from curiosity to opportunity, this role is your next major step.
What You’ll Do
- Own outbound pipeline generation — identify, target, and engage high-potential prospects across industries.
- Run a structured multi-touch outreach strategy using email, LinkedIn, phone, video, and AI-driven tools.
- Diagnose prospect pain points quickly and position Optimum7 as the strategic growth partner they’ve been missing.
- Build and nurture relationships with key decision-makers — from Directors to VPs and C-suite.
- Conduct high-impact discovery calls to qualify needs, challenges, and technical requirements.
- Collaborate with marketing to refine messaging, identify new verticals, and test new outbound campaigns.
- Maintain clean CRM hygiene, track daily activity, monitor conversion metrics, and adjust tactics to exceed goals.
- Partner with leadership to hand off fully qualified opportunities and ensure smooth transitions into the sales cycle.
What You Bring
- 4+ years in a BDR, SDR, or Inside Sales role in a performance-driven sales organization.
- Strong experience in outbound prospecting, cold outreach, and early-stage opportunity creation.
- Skilled in conducting discovery calls and navigating complex sales conversations.
- Ability to identify and bring in key decision-makers and stakeholders early in the process.
- Proven track record of meeting and exceeding outbound KPIs in competitive environments.
- Sharp communicator with strong objection-handling, positioning, and business acumen.
- Highly organized, disciplined, and able to manage multiple accounts and prospects simultaneously.
- Hands-on proficiency with Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Seamless.ai, and other AI prospecting tools.
Preferred Experience
- Outbound sales in an eCommerce agency, digital marketing, SaaS, or web development context.
- Experience following and contributing to Sales Playbooks, SOPs, and outbound frameworks.
- Comfortable communicating with VPs, C-level executives, and technical stakeholders.

- Commitment to Excellence: Precision, efficiency, and delivering top-tier work.
- Problem-Solving Orientation: We don’t stop at “no” — we find solutions.
