ABOUT US

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an exceptional Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join a leading Utah-based HR company that makes it easier for small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to employ people by streamlining payroll, employee benefits, HR, safety, and workers’ compensation services.

As an SDR, you will be on the front line of this HR company's growth. Your mission is to connect with CEOs, founders, and HR leaders at high-potential companies, educate them on the ROI of partnering with the company, and secure qualified discovery calls for their team. This is a high-energy, metrics-driven role: expect a target of 15+ sales-qualified meetings booked each month.

CRM & Pipeline Management

• Log all activities, dispositions, and notes in Outreach (or similar) in real time.
• Maintain clean data hygiene and ensure a seamless hand-off to Account Executives.

• Stay current on Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry trends, competitor positioning, and regulatory changes impacting employers.

Continuous Improvement

• Exceed weekly/monthly activity and meeting quotas; track personal KPIs.
• Share call insights and objection trends with marketing to refine campaigns.
• Participate in ongoing sales training and peer call‑coaching sessions.

• Self-starter, resilient, and eager to learn in a fast-growing, team-oriented culture
• Located in, or willing to travel occasionally to, Utah-front-range markets
