BDRs are often the first contact that a prospective customer has with Classy and spend their days conducting strategic outreach to decision makers of nonprofit organizations, while also following up and championing business relationships. BDRs are measured by their ability to strategically penetrate multiple departments within organizations to generate pipeline, facilitate qualifying calls and conduct discovery with high-level decision makers, and complete a seamless handoff of qualified prospects to our Account Executive team.

The level of business and professional growth within this role is unmatched.

  • Facilitate qualifying calls and conduct discovery with high-level decision makers
  • Methodically qualify, build, and manage an accurate sales pipeline in Salesforce using MEDDIC
  • Accurately document and track all activities in Salesforce
  • Consistently surpassing your monthly quotas through hard work, a proactive approach to growth, and implementing feedback
  • Thrive on change while remaining highly organized, optimistic, and coachable
  • Become an expert in online fundraising - asking insightful questions, overcoming objections and understanding your client’s needs will be critical to your success.

What you bring (Required):

  • Excellent listening, verbal and written skills
  • No fear of the phones!

What would be incredible to have (Preferred):

  • Rich healthcare benefits including employer paid premiums for medical/dental/vision (100% for employee only plans and 85% for employee + dependent plans) and employer HSA contributions.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company matching

View company profile

Classy is a giving platform that enables nonprofits to connect supporters with the causes they care about. We believe giving should be easy, so we created a solution for online fundraising that creates great experiences for supporters. Through technology, we empower nonprofits to unlock the generosity of their supporters and help them advance their missions.

Classy started as a fundraising solution developed from the perspective of supporters. After our founder’s mother survived two rounds of breast cancer, we sought to enable more people to make a difference for the causes they care about.Frustrated by the challenges around making donations and the poor experience for supporters, we questioned why giving had to be so hard. We believed better technology was the answer, so we decided to build it. Beginning with our own fundraising campaign and refined across the campaigns of thousands of nonprofits, our powerful platform is elegantly designed to optimize giving experiences so that supporters are more engaged and nonprofit fundraisers have a greater impact. We are singularly dedicated to getting more funding directly to the causes that matter most, and with $4B raised on our platform in the first 10 years, we are just getting started.

Classy has grown from a couple of friends and a donation to cancer research to becoming part of the largest giving network in the world. As an independent subsidiary of GoFundMe, we’ve collectively raised over $20 billion for social good.
