Company mission
Digital sales rooms that centralise buyer journeys and increase sales velocity.
Role
Who you are
- Proven outbound SDR/BDR experience in B2B SaaS (mid-market or above strongly preferred)
- Clear evidence you can prospect to senior buyers and qualify with depth (not just “book and hope”)
- Comfortable being phone-forward; experience with power-diallers and call coaching
- Experience partnering with AEs (or a closing function) with disciplined handoffs and shared learning loops
- Signal-based/intent-led outbound experience (trigger events, buying signals, engagement signals)
- Experience selling into revenue leadership personas
- Creative outbound portfolio (examples of high-performing sequences, call scripts, or creative angles)
What the job involves
- Run high-quality outbound prospecting to senior revenue stakeholders (e.g., VP Sales, RevOps, Sales Enablement, CRO)
- Execute signal-based selling: use buying/engagement signals to prioritise accounts and tailor outreach
- Own your daily activity plan across phone + email + LinkedIn + creative channels; build/iterate sequences
- Use a power-dialler and structured call blocks; continuously improve talk track and objection handling
- Qualify opportunities with rigour (problem clarity, urgency, stakeholders, next steps) and pass complete context to AEs
- Maintain excellent CRM hygiene: accurate stage/notes, account maps, and reason codes
- Share what’s working: weekly learnings on messaging, segments, objections, and conversion rates
- You consistently create high-quality meetings that convert into sales-accepted opportunities
- Your outreach improves over time: better conversion, clearer messaging, and sharper targeting
- AEs love your handoffs: concise, correctly qualified, and with momentum
Application process
- Initial screen (20–30 mins): motivation, outbound experience, compensation expectations, hybrid suitability
- Hiring manager interview (Sales Manager/CRO): detailed walkthrough of outbound motion, qualification, learning loops
- Practical exercise: 1) Written outreach: 2–3 sequences (email + LinkedIn) for a chosen persona 2) Call role play: 10-minute cold call + objection handling (using a dialler-style cadence)
- Values interview + final decision meeting (CRO + CEO)
Salary benchmarks
Our take
trumpet is challenging the traditional approach to sales and setting out to lead the digital transformation of the whole B2B sales cycle. This is very relevant right now, with 80% of sales interactions taking place digitally as of 2025.
trumpet sets itself apart by providing companies with collaborative, auto-personalised microsites. This enables them to pull in a buyers branding, track the deal to drive timely outreach, centralise information in one space, and get visibility over where buyers are engaging in the journey.
5000+ companies are already using trumpet, including Oyster, Payfit and Figma. Off the back of 2024 seed funding, the company seems set to pave the way for the digital transformation of B2B sales.
