Sales Development Representative

Directive Consulting is the performance marketing agency for B2B companies. We use Customer Generation (a marketing methodology developed by us) which focuses on SQLs and Customers instead of traditional metrics like MQLs. We offer Paid Media, SEO, Design/CRO, Video, and Marketing Ops services to our B2B clients.

We have experienced significant growth over the last few years and have remained true to our culture of, the best idea wins. We’re future-focused and are looking for the right Sales Development Representative to support our growing sales organization. 

About The Role:

We have a mature sales process at Directive that balances a high-volume inbound with 100k+ ACVs.  We follow the principles of Winning By Design, but have innovated to elevate our 

close rates and reflect the strategic differences in a services business vs tech. 

In this role, you would own the intro call stage for organizations with less than 100 employees. Your goal is to not only qualify prospects; but also, excite them about the opportunity to work with Directive + our methodology, Customer Generation. 

Your goals and compensation will be based on closed-won bookings. You win when your AEs win. We truly embrace a team mentality and we all win together. 

A core opportunity for this position is to develop into an AE. We currently have three in the agency and would like to eventually have four. We think this will give whoever we hire a higher chance of being successful and will allow them to properly learn our services + build custom sales decks for a truly consultative selling AE role. 

We also do a full day of outbound weekly as a team (AE’s included) and will expect you to be an impactful contributor to these moments. 

Lastly, we have very serious onboarding requirements and expect you to become an expert in marketing. You will need to understand our deliverables in great detail and will need to prove that you can do the actual work of a strategist. Our top AE’s close over 40% of their deals because they are true subject matter experts in their craft. To get out of onboarding, you will need to show proficiency in our deliverables. 

You will only be successful in this role if you are equally strong with sales as you are at performance marketing.
