SearchStax is fast becoming a leader in managed search infrastructure in the cloud. Its technology, products, and services enable organizations of all sizes to design, deploy, and manage search solutions at a fraction of the time and it would require using a team of in-house experts, often substantially lower cost too.

Business Development Representative (SDR)

To continue this growth, SearchStax is looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR). This position centers on finding, developing and transferring qualified opportunities to Account Executives. SDRs are supported in their effort with technology, templates, scripts, databases, marketing campaigns and a brand that is building recognition and respect in the search world. SDRs are encouraged to contribute campaign and marketing ideas and assets such as effective copy. A successful candidate will be an outgoing, energetic, articulate person with a fledging but positive track record in sales. The person in this role will be a personable individual, confident to receive and initiate a substantial number of contacts every day – via email, phone, and more. Many such contacts will lead to the establishment of relationships with senior executives; this is why the candidate must be an excellent listener and a confident messenger of the SearchStax products and services. Communication with prospects requires perfect syntax, both verbally and in the written form.
