We value people who are curious, accountable, collaborative, and empathetic. If you want to grow your sales career while working on a truly technical product that matters, you’ll feel at home here. 

The Role: 

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you are the first human touchpoint for prospects evaluating STARLIMS. Your primary focus is rapidly responding to inbound leads (target: under 5 minutes) via phone and email, discovering whether they have a real business need for LIMS, and booking high-quality meetings for our Account Executives. 

This is a high-activity, high-learning role where you’ll be speaking with lab managers, quality leaders, IT stakeholders, and other technical buyers. Your job is not to “hard sell” but to qualify, educate, and smoothly hand off interested prospects to the sales team. 

• Rapidly respond to leads via phone and e-mail and assist prospects during the early stages of the evaluation process 
• Qualify inbound and source outbound leads by researching accounts, identifying key players, and generating interest 
• Book meetings for our sales team, and ensure a smooth handover of prospects and customers 
• Meet and exceed monthly quota to ensure pipeline objectives and submit pipeline commits on a weekly basis 
• Understand the STARLIMS value proposition, our market and industry, and our buyer, using that to have better customer communications  
• Resilience and Adaptability: need to pivot messaging quickly based on real-time market feedback and competitor shifts. 
• Capture and communicate customer requirements, both from technical and non-technical buyers 
• Add and maintain accurate CRM records, including call notes, next steps, and customer communications so sales reps are ready for the next meeting  
• Provide feedback to sales and marketing leadership, inducing customer priorities, pain points, and needs 
• Leverage social media to connect with prospects and advance deal cycles.
