Overview of the role

An exciting new opportunity has been created within Garrison’s sales team, covering the sales of our whole portfolio of solutions to new customers across the globe. This is a new area of the business where we are building a new and independent go-to-market (GTM) team to provide support to the wider sales team. We are currently looking for highly motivated SDR / Inside Sales professionals to help build this new capability.

Inside sales for this offering will be focused on creative and innovative ways of reaching a very specific, highly-targeted set of buyers. This will involve thoughtful analysis of our existing customers and networks, and establishing trust and immediate benefit with new leads through thought-leadership events and activities.

In short, we will not be setting targets for 50 outbound calls a day, rather we will be outcomes driven, looking for the inside sales team to work closely with both marketing and sales execs to better establish highly qualified leads and nurture them through to sales meetings with key AEs. This will involve supporting events (conferences, exhibitions, dinners), detailed account mapping, working closely with existing customers for references, linking to compelling collateral (and support in identifying topics) and arranging meetings.

The successful candidate will be a sharp, self-starting person with the ability to react quickly to new requirements and shifting priorities, with a drive to develop, improve and innovate. Prior experience in a sales team is not essential, but a motivation to succeed is imperative – you will be driven to connect and begin conversations with change-makers across the globe.

Key Responsibilities

· Support in developing the internal processes and tools to establish a highly optimised and effective inside sales team
