Company Description

Paying the right way, getting paid what you’re worth — it’s complicated, and it matters. Compensation used to be a dark art. Not anymore. PayScale helps employers and their employees understand the right pay for every position and effectively communicate about compensation.

PayScale pioneered the use of big data and unique matching algorithms to power the world’s most advanced compensation platform and continues to be the compensation market leader, featured in G2 Crowd's 100 Best Software Companies for 2018, based on user reviews.

Job Description

What We Do: The Sales Development team works closely with both Sales and Marketing to drive interest in PayScale's solutions, identify potential buyers, and use compelling messaging to pique the interest of our prospects. Our goal is to help compensation professionals learn how PayScale can empower them to adopt a modern compensation strategy.

What You Do: In this role you will build a strong sales foundation by learning everything from objection handling, prospecting, lead qualification, research, customer personas and more. You are the first impression for our potential clients and therefore have a huge impact on PayScale's success.

Day-in-the-Life: As a Sales Development Representative, a typical day may include the following…

  • Contacting at least 75 prospects every day through various outreach tactics including phone (heavy phone), email, and LinkedIn
  • Researching prospective companies and potential buyers to target
  • Maintaining up to date records in sales tools like Salesforce and Outreach
  • Collaborating with full cycle Account Executives to develop quality opportunities within assigned geographic territories
  • Continued learning through mock calls, formal training, and regular coaching and feedback

First Year in Role:

  • Month 3: You will learn the ins and outs of the role through a combination of classroom style training, frequent practice and feedback, and shadowing your team members
  • Month 6: You will be working with an Account Executive to strategically prospect a territory for new opportunities and continuing to hone your skills in discovery, objection handling, and targeted messaging
  • Month 12: You will be a leader on the team and take an active part in improving the team as a whole, as well as assisting newer colleagues and developing more advanced sales skills

Qualifications

Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Skills:

  • Curious and active listener: You have a deep hunger to learn, coupled with a willingness to experiment. You ask a lot of questions. You recognize there is a difference between "hearing" and "listening" and you even pick up on what's not being said.
  • Resilient and self-motivated: You're always striving to build upon previous successes. You realize that the quickest path to success is through quick failures, so you aren't afraid to jump in and try something new.
  • Detail oriented: The little things matter! You're able to craft a process that keeps you on track.
  • Tech savvy: you love experimenting with new technology, and you quickly learn and adapt to new processes.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communicator: You are clear, concise, professional, and engaging over the phone. You have the ability to write a confident, persuasive, and professional email.
  • Collaborative: When we all succeed, we're better for it. You share your recipe for success without even being asked.

Tools: We'll teach you everything you need to know, but it's helpful if you are familiar with...

  • Salesforce or a similar CRM
  • Outreach or a similar sales enablement platform
  • MS Office Suite, especially Outlook
