Sales Development Representative

About us

Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). 

Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).   

Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

About the role

• Partner with Sales, Sales Leadership, and Marketing on the design and execution of creating a high-quality pipeline through inbound and outbound channels. 
• Work closely with Account Executives for a smooth handoff of qualified meetings.
• Research ideal customer profiles that require cold outreach to identify new sales opportunities. Leverage social media and smart prospecting strategies to track activity metrics (calls, personalized emails) to gain feedback.
• Leverage the best sales tech stack, which includes Salesforce, Salesloft, Gong, LinkedIn Navigator, Chili Piper, and more, to create/test scripts and custom messaging to optimize our outreach sequences and increase conversion rates.
• Assist with sales strategies, campaigns, events, partnership channels, and marketing initiatives.

About you

• A top performer. 3+ years of sales or work experience as a go-getter with a strong attention to detail who stays organized to ensure timely follow-up and follow-through.
• Learner’s mindset. Highly self-directed, adaptable, and up for feedback and implementation in a fast-paced, always changing environment that has high-performance expectations while working collaboratively.
• Product-obsessed. Leave management is complicated, meaning that often, our customers have gaps in their understanding. Therefore, it is essential that you can articulate our value proposition through different channels of communication such as phone calls, email, social media touches, direct mail, and video messaging.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills. Clear, empathetic communicator that can build rapport cross-functionally and relate to sales professionals. You are great at communicating through email, chat, and phone while displaying active listening skills to complete and maintain appropriate information in Salesforce.
