Job Description

About UsWe・€・re a creative agency that helps associations stand out through strategic branding and digital experiences. With 15+ years of experience, we understand what associations need, and we deliver work that not only looks great but also drives results. Now, we・€・re ready to grow our reach and bring that impact to even more organizations.

That・€・s where you come in.

The RoleWe・€・re looking for a smart, hungry, and motivated Sales Development Representative to help us expand our client base in the association world. This is our first dedicated sales hire. Until now, our growth has come through a founder-led sales motion, referrals, and strong work that speaks for itself. Now, we・€・re ready to accelerate that growth with someone who・€・s entrepreneurial, defaults to action, and wants to help build our outbound engine from the ground up.

You・€・ll be responsible for researching prospects, crafting personalized outreach, and booking discovery calls with qualified leads. You・€・ll primarily work via email and LinkedIn, with occasional phone follow-ups and potential involvement in industry events.

You don・€・t need to be a branding or website expert, but you do need to be curious, sharp, and ready to learn fast. This is a role with plenty of runway to grow and control your own destiny.

What You・€・ll Do• Research and identify high-potential associations that align with our services

  • Send highly personalized outbound emails and LinkedIn messages (no templates or spray-and-pray)
  • Make outbound phone calls to follow up on warm leads or confirm meetings
  • Qualify inbound and referral leads and schedule intro calls with the CEO
  • Provide accurate pipeline forecasts to help the team plan and hit revenue targets
  • Share insights and feedback from the field to help inform messaging, services, and overall business strategy
  • Maintain and update CRM (Pipedrive) with outreach and contact activity
  • Collaborate on messaging, campaigns, and outreach strategies that resonate with association decision-makers
  • Analyze outreach performance and continuously test/optimize messaging
  • Support event-related outreach and follow-up for conferences and association trade shows
  • Attend industry events to help with networking and lead generation (optional, based on fit and timing)

What We・€・re Looking For• 2・€・3 years of experience in a B2B sales, outreach, or lead gen role (agency or consulting background is a plus)

  • Strong writing skills, you・€・ll be responsible for crafting thoughtful, engaging first-touch messages
  • Comfortable on the phone and confident speaking with senior-level association contacts
  • Naturally curious and resourceful, you love researching and figuring out how to reach the right person
  • Experience with CRM tools (we use Pipedrive), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and email outreach platforms
  • A natural communicator who can build rapport and trust with prospects, establishing themselves as a valuable resource in the market and not just another salesperson
  • Self-starter with excellent time management, you・€・ll be owning your pipeline
  • Open to light travel for select industry events or conferences

Why This Role MattersWhile you・€・ll have clear quarterly and annual quotas to hit, this isn・€・t a high-pressure, high-volume, transactional environment. It・€・s about building smart relationships with the right kinds of organizations. You・€・ll play a key role in helping us connect with associations that can truly benefit from our services, and you・€・ll help shape how we grow our pipeline long-term.

Perks & Benefits• Competitive base salary + performance-based bonuses

  • Health & dental benefits
  • 401(k) with automatic company contribution
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Flexible schedule and remote-friendly culture
