Inbound Sales Development Representative

Job Overview:

In the past, to be a successful restaurateur, you simply had to have a passion for food and a passion for people - but to succeed as a digital restaurateur you also need to have a passion for technology. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter – to help restaurateurs to succeed in online food delivery. Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry’s, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches.

The Inbound Sales Representative at Otter is responsible for putting our software products into the hands of restaurant operator customers, and ensuring that we provide them with the right bundle of products to solve their business needs. In this inside sales role, you will be responsible for calling on inbound leads and moving them through the sales funnel efficiently (pitching, negotiation, commitment, closed won). Your typical day will involve responding to new inbound leads generated from a number of channels including Partner referrals, Organic Web-leads, organic growth, trades shows and other marketing efforts and following up with existing prospects.
