We’re experienced operators and subject-matter experts with a passion for software and building businesses.

Cordance envisions that all companies we work with achieve their full potential. We embrace what makes each company great and build on those foundations. We believe in elevating a company as it scales, delivering dignity to the organization and its employees, and sharing a passion for building a legacy.
Cordance is seeking Sales Development Representatives (SDR) to work across multiple business units and vertical industries. Our SDRs research prospective customers, create outreach strategies, and identify early-stage sales opportunities.

- Conduct qualification calls with prospects and customers to ensure a good fit and use case for the product, laying a foundation for long term retention and customer success, also recognizing leads which should be returned to marketing for further nurture.
- Schedule discovery meetings or demos with prospects/customers for your assigned AEs.
- Utilize CRM, Sales Engagement Platform, and other tools to capture and record all your activities, next steps, follow up information, and notes.
