Sales Development Representative (Inbound)

United States

Why Guideline

Guideline was founded in 2015 by CEO Kevin Busque, when he noticed that young employees weren’t participating in his company’s 401(k) due to dated systems and high fees. 

A modern, easy to use, and affordable provider didn’t exist, so Kevin and the founders built Guideline with the mission of helping everyone arrive at a secure retirement. 

We’re now one of the fastest growing retirement companies (5th largest in the US), with more than 350 employees, 50,000+ businesses, and $15B+ invested on our platform. As we continue to expand, we’re looking for driven individuals to join our growing team. 

Your impact on Guideline’s mission

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will be our clients' first interaction with our Sales Team. You'll be responsible for educating and qualifying prospects who have different degrees of interest. If qualified, you will introduce the prospects to our Account Executives (AEs).

Some more details:

  • You’ll engage inbound leads (both new and old), qualify prospects, and book demos for AEs through personalized calls and emails, all while maintaining our SLA
  • You’ll monitor and update activity and lead information in Salesforce.
  • Our sales tools include Salesforce, Outreach, Gong, and Talkdesk
Work Schedule:  This role is open to candidates in CO, UT, WA and El Paso/Hudspeth Counties (TX); members of this team work Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm PT.
 
What you’ll gain

SDRs are typically promoted to AE roles within 12-18 months of consistent performance. Over 75% of our AEs came from our SDR team.

In this role, you’ll have access to:

  • Weekly coaching with your Sales Lead in 1on1s
  • Weekly team meetings to collaborate and share learnings
  • Quarterly reviews of your professional development goals and metrics
  • Quarterly Sales Kickoffs to hear from our leaders and peers

The first 6 months:

  • In month 1, you’ll meet our teams and soak up as much product and industry knowledge as possible while you complete your onboarding program
  • In months 2-4, you’ll start your responsibilities as an SDR, making calls, generating new opportunities, and responding to inbound leads
  • By months 4-6, you’ll have a good understanding of our product and customers, be comfortable overcoming common objections, and consistently hit your daily metrics

Who’s a good fit

  • You have a minimum 1 year of professional working experience, and if that includes experience in a business development or sales role, even better
  • You’re driven - Self motivated to hit daily targets and hungry for growth
  • You’re adaptable - Excited by change & development 
  • You’re collaborative - Team first mindset
  • You have exemplary verbal and written communication skills
  • You’re highly organized with strong attention to detail

Who’s not a fit

If you’re looking to pass the time, we suggest avoiding this role. We pride ourselves on promoting internally and prepping our SDRs for their next step as an Account Executive, so we’re looking for people interested in a sales career.

If you’re uncomfortable making phone calls or talking on the phone, or if you’re uncomfortable with change, this might not be a good fit.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
