You’ll join our APAC Sales team as a Business Development Representative, often the first person a prospect speaks to at respond.io. You’ll work the leads assigned to you in our CRM, qualify them using the CHAMP framework, learn what their business is trying to achieve, and work out whether we’re a real fit. When we are, you’ll book a meeting with one of our Account Executives, who takes the deal from there. Expect a fast-paced, high-volume day of calls, emails and WhatsApp outreach. We’re also building outbound in APAC, so experience generating your own pipeline counts.
