What you'll do
- Run high-volume outbound outreach — primarily phone, supported by email — to companies across a wide range of industries and sizes.
- Pitch the data partnership: what we are asking for, what the company gets, and why the terms are favorable.
- Qualify inbound interest and move interested companies through the early stages of the pipeline.
- Walk companies through their first step: compiling an inventory of their IT systems and associated data volumes, and submitting it through our intake portal.
- Hand off qualified companies cleanly for NDA execution and pricing.
- Log activity and outcomes consistently so the team can measure conversion and refine pricing assumptions.
- Feed market signal back to the team: what objections you hear, what pricing lands, which sectors respond.
- Follow clear guidelines when discussing the partnership: describe the partnership and general offer, but do not commit to pricing or contract terms. Final terms are handled by the commercial and legal teams.
- Follow approved scripts and objection-handling guidance when discussing the partnership.
- Clearly communicate that any terms discussed are subject to a definitive written agreement.
- Follow strict data-handling requirements: do not receive company data, samples, or exports before an NDA is executed.
- If a prospect offers to share data early, stop and escalate.
What they're looking for
- Outbound sales experience.
- You have done BDR, SDR, inside sales, telesales or similar work. You are comfortable with volume and with rejection.
- Clear, professional verbal communication.
- You will be on the phone with U.S. businesses all day and need to be understood easily and sound credible to a senior buyer.
- Judgment on the phone.
- You can read a conversation, handle a skeptical operations or IT leader, and know when to escalate rather than oversell.
- Clean documentation habits.
- Legal review is a real part of this process, so accurate notes on what was said and promised matter.
