Now Hiring - Apptegy - Information Technology Sales Development Representative in Little Rock, AR

Since our start in 2015, weve gone from a group of individuals to a community pushing toward the same goal of building a fantastic company with great people, great products, and, most importantly, a great culture.

Apptegy is building products to empower school leaders to run better schools. We have the opportunity to help schools as they go through a radical shift in how they operate and to provide great technology to make that transition.

We are focused on bringing thoughtful, high-performers together to craft an experience for our clients and to make Apptegy a better place than it already is.

You will directly influence company growth by calling potential clients, creating intriguing conversations about Apptegy and Thrillshare, and by booking demos for the Sales Rep team.

Apptegys Sales Development Team continues to grow and we are looking for high performers to join us in getting the attention of school leaders across the United States.

We like to highlight that many SDRs did not have Sales experience before working at Apptegy (but theyre really good at it now!). Even if you have never been in a sales role, we would still very much like to talk with you if youre up to the challenge.

You will be a key part of helping Apptegy grow. The Sales Development position is what has put Apptegy on the map. There are more than 4.500 school districts across the United States that use Apptegy and Thrillshare because a Sales Development Rep (SDR) called them, caught their attention, and set up a time for them to learn more on a demo.

Your goal is to thoughtfully connect with school administrators and school leaders through phone calls. You will spend most of your day on the phone talking to secretaries, assistants, superintendents, and others. Within a few minutes of conversation, you will turn the conversation into a scheduled video demo with a Sales Rep. You will also send follow-up emails to coordinate with sales reps and superintendents.

In addition to calls, the Sales Development team does whatever it takes to open doors to school leaders through creative custom videos, emails, and more.

1. Create interest and intrigue with outbound calls: The core part of your role will be to reach out to school administrators, leaders, and superintendents by phone. You should be able to have an engaging conversation with anyone when needed.

2. Transfer confidence: While you are not selling the product on your calls, you are selling the value of a demo with a Sales Rep. To do that, you must be confident in your interactions in a way that tells the other person the demo will be a good use of their time and that this is a product that we know without a doubt will provide value to them. That includes a willingness to kindly push back and address objections.

3. Be Coachable: Our approach to sales is both common and exceptionally rare. Many of the activities we do are practiced in sales teams everywhere, but the expectations we have and the way that we approach even a short conversation are unique. To be successful as an SDR, you must be able to listen to feedback, own that feedback, and then take action to implement feedback.

4. Have resilience and grit: Next to coachability, the most important attribute in this role is an ability to persist. You must be relentless and be able to draw from past experiences when you overcame a challenge or obstacle in your way. Sales involves daily rejection and must be capable of pushing through it.

5. Desire to work hard and to grow: This is a role that will challenge you and help you grow. To be successful you must have high expectations for yourself and be willing to put in the time, the effort, and the sweat to meet those expectations.
