Sales Development Representative
This is a high-activity, outbound-first role. Successful SDRs at Smokeball are comfortable being on the phone daily, consistently dialing, handling rejection, and driving meaningful conversations with law firm decision-makers. This role requires urgency, resilience, and the ability to ramp quickly and contribute from Day 1. This is a hybrid role with our office in Chicago, IL. All Chicagoland SDRs are in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Key Responsibilities
- Finding and qualifying new sales opportunities through proactive outreach like cold calls, emails, and social media.
- Identifying and prioritizing ideal customer profiles (ICP) and key personas within law firms, including firm size, practice area, and decision-makers.
- Understanding potential clients in the legal field and positioning Smokeball's solutions accordingly.
- Building relationships with leads through regular follow-up, providing info, educational content, and resources to keep them engaged and moving through the sales process.
- Consistently working toward activity and performance targets, including daily call volume, meetings booked, and qualified opportunities created.
- Keeping up with the latest trends in law and sales to improve outreach strategies.
- Making sure all interactions are logged in Salesforce and Outreach.
- Becoming a Smokeball expert and mastering our outbound approach.
Required Qualifications
- A hunger to learn sales, with cold-calling experience as a plus; knowing about law is even better.
- Comfort with high-volume outbound calling and a willingness to consistently pick up the phone as a core part of the role.
- Energy and self-motivation, both for working alone and with a team.
- Mental resilience and persistence - comfortable hearing "no," learning from objections, and showing up each day ready to dial again.
- Good communication skills, written and spoken.
- Reliability and good time management.
- Ability to explain technical stuff to non-techies.
- Coachable mindset with a strong desire to improve through feedback, experimentation, and collaboration with teammates.
- Familiarity with tech stack, including Outreach, Salesforce (CRM), Slack, and 6Sense ideal but not a requirement.
Compensation
$54,000 - 60,000 base salary, plus a variable commission component of $36,000. There is no cap on OTE earnings, so with dedication and strong performance, the earning potential is truly uncapped!
Your Manager
My name is Brett Merle and I lead the Sales Development team here. Nice to meet you. My leadership style revolves around a simple motto: take your work seriously, but not yourself! I am passionate about being the revenue pipeline and talent engine for Smokeball. My teams use data to personalize coaching, adopt a fail forward mentality, and have psychological safety to be their most authentic selves. I live in La Grange Park with my partner, daughter, and our two dogs. I am physically very active, am a huge Blackhawks and Bears fan, and play two instruments.
