Sales Team Structure: Roles

Business Development Representative

Business Development Representatives play a crucial role in outbound prospecting to drive new pipeline growth. BDRs thoroughly research target accounts and contacts to identify potential opportunities. They execute cold outreach campaigns across channels like email, phone calls, and social media to generate interest. BDRs qualify leads based on criteria like budget, authority, needs and timeline to determine viability. They capture all prospect information and activity within the CRM to inform future outreach. Viable opportunities are routed to account executives for further development. The BDR role is all about expanding reach and conveying value to garner interest.

Sales Developement Representative

SDRs go beyond lead generation to nurture opportunities further. SDRs conduct product demos and trials to give interested prospects a deeper look at solutions. They provide content and resources to address concerns and convey value. SDRs are skilled at answering questions, overcoming objections, and scheduling meetings between prospects and closers. They develop relationships through personalized outreach while scoring leads and tracking all activity in the CRM. SDRs focus on converting early interest into sales meetings.

Lead Generator

Dedicated Lead Generators have a very targeted role in identifying and engaging net new accounts. They expand reach by thoroughly researching and tapping sources like D&B and ZoomInfo to uncover potential targets. Lead generators conduct high-volume cold email and phone outreach to generate new contacts and accounts. Every prospect interaction and data point is recorded in the CRM. Vetted opportunities are passed on to SDRs and account executives for further qualification. Lead generators focus solely on expanding reach and capturing new contacts.

Account Executive

Account Executives manage ongoing customer relationships while pursuing net new sales opportunities. They run the full sales cycle for incoming leads and expansion prospects. Account executives proactively assess client needs and challenges to present tailored solutions. They excel at overcoming objections, negotiating contracts, and closing deals. Developing strong executive relationships and growing key accounts over time is critical. The AE role encompasses both farming existing customers and hunting new logos.
