Senior Sales Development Representative driving outbound growth and qualified pipeline.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Sales Development Representative focused on outbound prospecting, cold calling, and building qualified meeting pipelines. I work in remote teams across Canada and the UK, partnering with leadership to align outreach to monthly and quarterly goals.
Most recently, I booked meetings for “50 to 10000 plus employee accounts,” using “Salesloft, Zoominfo and Salesforce” during a Corel/Parallels transition. I’ve also been responsible for pitching “5 different products” and setting up “qualified meeting for 5 different accounts,” while handling high-volume outreach like “300+ prospects a day” using power dialier- Orum.
I bring leadership and enablement experience from roles where I “Mentor, train and hired a team of BDRs,” and I’ve built practical sales assets like “Sales Playbook, Outbound Sequences,” and an “Objective Handling Doc with Notion,” plus “Training Videos via Vidyard.” I enjoy coaching reps, improving outreach motion, and executing fast—so opportunities convert from first contact to scheduled meetings.
