<h2>About Rundoo ℹ️</h2>Rundoo’s mission is to build cutting-edge software that helps building materials suppliers enhance their businesses. Think of your local hardware store or mom and pop shop—these are our clients who we partner with across the country. From paint to hardware to flooring, stores across these industries sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to change by being the first in the industry to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology.Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, weve raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.<h1>Key Responsibilities:</h1><ul><li>Lead Generation &amp; Qualification:<ul><li>Generate new opportunities per month through outbound calling and email outreach.</li><li>Identify and engage with key decision-makers in the home improvement retail space, qualifying leads based on their needs and potential to convert.</li></ul></li><li>Sales Development:<ul><li>Conduct daily outreach to engage potential clients, with a focus on securing strong interest and participation.</li><li>Regularly schedule meetings each month to introduce Rundoo’s solutions and drive product demo bookings.</li><li>Nurture relationships with prospects through timely follow-up emails and calls.</li></ul></li><li>Customer Conversion:<ul><li>Maintain professionalism and provide excellent customer service throughout the entire sales journey.</li></ul></li></ul><h1>Compensation &amp; Benefits:</h1><ul><li>Base Salary: $60,000 annually</li><li>Variable Compensation (Commission): $32,400 annually (based on performance and targets met)</li><li>Total Compensation Potential: $92,400 annually, with no cap</li><li>Health, dental, and vision benefits</li><li>Paid time off (PTO) and holiday leave</li><li>401(k) with company matching</li><li>Opportunities for career growth within the sales team</li></ul><h1>Required Skills &amp; Qualifications:</h1><ul><li>Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited university.</li><li>0-2 years of experience as a Business Development Representative (BDR) or in a similar sales role, preferably in a B2B environment.</li><li>Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage and qualify prospects effectively.</li><li>Comfort with high-volume outbound calling and email outreach.</li><li>Self-motivated with a strong desire to meet and exceed performance targets.</li><li>Experience using CRM software (Salesforce or similar) to track and manage opportunities.</li><li>Ability to handle rejection and remain focused on achieving goals.</li></ul><h1>Preferred Qualifications:</h1><ul><li>Previous experience in the software or tech industry, particularly in SaaS or POS solutions.</li><li>Familiarity with the paint retail industry or similar verticals.</li></ul><h1>Interview Process:</h1><ul><li>Intro Call (20 min) - Remote<ul><li>An informal conversation with our Recruiting Team to get to know one another.</li></ul></li><li>Round 1 (15 min) - Remote:<ul><li>A call with Clara, our Head of Marketing, assessing: Grit, Determination and Resilience.</li></ul></li><li>Round 2 (30 min) - Remote:<ul><li>A session with Clara, focused on core BDR activities:<ul><li>You will get a one pager before this call with how to succeed in this interview, How to make cold calls at Rundoo</li><li>Assessing: cold calling ability (voice, tone, comfort levels calling), stay calm, make friends, and book a next step (demo)Assess tone, objection handling, call openers, and how you build interest quickly.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Meal (1 hour) - In Person:<ul><li>A meal with Matt/Clara, our Head of Sales, and Clara our Head of Marketing, in person, in Chicago.</li></ul></li><li>Chat with Nick (15 min) - Remote:<ul><li>A 15 minute chat with our CEO, Nick.</li></ul></li></ul><ul><li>Reference Check</li><li>Offer</li></ul>Meet the teamMarketing<a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/clara-shapero-767644179/">Clara</a> - Studied Literature at UCL before moving into growth strategy at Nabla, a health tech startup in Paris.
