WHAT YOU’LL DO

BDR is a high impact role. The BDR will research and strategize on Mid/Enterprise accounts, develop and action a communication plan (via phone, email, LinkedIn, video etc) to generate new business opportunities (pipeline). There are proven processes to follow, several intuitive user friendly tools to use and KPIs to keep momentum up. BDR’s prioritize outreach to prospects: the more relevant stakeholders we can speak with, the more likely we are to be successful in that account.

BDRs will manage their own meetings, and bring in other internal stakeholders as needed. They conduct high-level conversations with C-suite executives about their business goals, customer engagement and marketing challenges/opportunities with a view to understanding and ’qualifying’ the opportunity. BDRs also deliver value-orientated pitches and solution demonstrations.

Ultimate success for a BDR is to generate the volume and value of deals required to hit their quota, and bring great new brands to Braze! This is done by meeting outreach KPIs, setting meetings and carrying out great discovery and qualification. The commission plan is uncapped, so once a BDR hits quota, they can keep on earning.
