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
- 1+ year of prior sales experience (software sales is a plus, but we can train you too!)
- Bilingual fluent in French and English
- You believe in small-midsized businesses and want to see them thrive
- People consider you a great storyteller, you’re clear and concise!
- (Nice-to-have) Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
What the job involves
- Get your foot in the door to the software sales industry as a Bilingual, Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Sage
- Every day, you’ll take to the phones connecting with small and medium sized businesses teaching them about how Sage can help run their business better
- We’re very well-known in the UK, with rapid growth in North America, so you’ll be joining a robust community of SDRs with ample tools to fuel your success
- If you’re adaptable, like to use trial and error to improve, and can learn new systems quickly, an SDR role at Sage has a lot to offer you
- Our products are designed with the customer in mind
- They make accounting and finance tasks easy, meaning more time to do other things; this is key for small and medium sized businesses! As an SDR, you’ll be selling software that helps people and makes sense
- Weeks 1-3: join other new SDRs virtually in an onboarding class designed to teach you about systems, competitive landscapes and how to sell Sage
- Week 4: witness what you learned in weeks 1-3 by shadowing other SDRs
- Weeks 5-12: ramp up period, with the support of your manager and team, progressing toward being fully independent
- Your goal will be to create sales opportunities for Account Executives
- You’ll do this by finding prospects (or following up on existing leads), then getting a meeting with them to teach them about Sage. After that, the Account Executive will take over
- Our global sales team is huge, and we love seeking people internally to promote
- SDRs typically choose to grow into Account Executive roles, Customer Account Management or Sales Operations/Management or marketing roles
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.
