Company mission
To knock down barriers so everyone can thrive, starting with the millions of small and medium-sized businesses served by us, our partners, and accountants.
Role
Who you are
- This role is a great fit if you have experience managing leads, are comfortable using BANT or SPIN frameworks, and want to sharpen your objection-handling skills while building your own pipeline of potential customers
- Bilingual fluent in French and English
- Experience in a lead-generating sales role
- Basic understanding of sales framework (e.g.; BANT or SPIN)
- Ability to share examples of how you’ve handled objections
- Growing Sage is our top priority, and we’re rapidly expanding. We invest heavily in our sales teams because we know that when we support our people, we reach more customers
- When asked why they choose Sage, our sales colleagues often answer: “the culture.”
What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll connect with small and medium-sized business owners who may not yet be familiar with our product and introduce them to Sage
- You’ll be on the front lines, taking the first step to start meaningful conversations
- The product you’ll represent is software — but not like most software you might know
- Our solutions combine decades of proven expertise with modern tools like Sage Ai, making work simpler and more efficient for customers. That’s why they love us
- Your work is a significant part of your day, and it should feel meaningful and rewarding. At Sage, you’ll start with a comprehensive onboarding program designed to help you feel confident and prepared as a BDR
- Once you’re ready, your day will include a high volume of cold outreach — whether that’s calling, emailing, messaging on LinkedIn, or using other creative approaches to engage potential customers
- It’s important to know that BDR roles typically involve hearing “no” often, so it’s essential to approach conversations thoughtfully and focus on building connections. At Sage, our goal is always to support and take care of our customers
- Through Sage Foundation, you can donate your skill-based support or manual labor to causes you care about 5 days per year. Another 5 days per year can be spent engaging in learning opportunities that interest you, because we care about your development at Sage
- At Sage, our sales culture thrives in a collaborative, reward-driven environment focused on customer success and growth. Sales team members - from SDRs to Account Executives-combine innovative solutions with exceptional care to help small and medium-sized businesses thrive

- Sage offers flexible working arrangements, shopping and lifestyle savings, an annual share savings scheme, and OnDemand GP services, creating a purpose-driven culture where sales professionals can simplify complexity for our customers and make a meaningful impact
- Working at Sage means you’re supporting millions of small and medium sized businesses globally with technology to work faster and smarter
Our take
The global business landscape is undergoing rapid digital transformation, where automated operations are becoming increasingly common across various teams and practices. However, smaller companies have often lagged behind in adopting these new technologies. Sage, the market leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, is bridging this gap by providing access to business innovations for companies of all sizes.
Founded in 1981, Sage initially developed software for its own company, pioneering automation in print estimates and basic accounting processes. Since then, the company has expanded its offerings, introducing automation to a wide range of operations. Today, Sage offers a diverse portfolio of cloud-based products, including Sage Intacct for financial management in mid-sized businesses and SageHR for enhancing connections between companies and their staff.
Throughout its history, Sage has consistently delivered innovative solutions to its clients and has earned a place in the prestigious FTSE 100 index. Recently, the company has shifted its focus towards strategic acquisitions and partnerships with other technology leaders to enhance its product offerings. One notable acquisition is Spherics, a carbon accounting solution, which will aid SMEs in their journey towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
