About the Role

Our client is a growing apparel manufacturing and sourcing business that works with international small and medium-sized apparel brands.

They are looking for an SDR to help build and manage their outbound sales pipeline in the US market.

This is a hands-on outbound sales role focused on prospecting, engaging potential customers and booking qualified introductory calls with the founder. The founder will handle the sales call and close the deal.

Key Responsibilities

•⁠ ⁠Conduct outbound sales activity targeting US-based apparel brands and business owners.

•⁠ ⁠Make cold calls to potential customers and confidently introduce the company’s services.

•⁠ ⁠Reach prospects through multiple channels, including phone, email and Instagram/social media.

•⁠ ⁠Work from provided lead lists and lead sources to identify potential customers.

•⁠ ⁠Engage prospects and communicate the company’s value proposition.

•⁠ ⁠Handle objections and confidently move conversations forward.

•⁠ ⁠Follow up consistently with prospects who show interest.

•⁠ ⁠Qualify prospects and identify suitable opportunities.

•⁠ ⁠Book qualified introductory meetings directly onto the founder’s calendar.

•⁠ ⁠Keep the sales pipeline organised and up to date.

•⁠ ⁠Track outreach activity, meetings booked and conversion results.

•⁠ ⁠Help identify which outbound channels are generating the strongest results.

Requirements

•⁠ ⁠Previous experience in sales, business development or SDR work.

•⁠ ⁠Proven experience with cold calling.

•⁠ ⁠Experience selling or prospecting to US-based customers/businesses is highly preferred.

•⁠ ⁠Excellent spoken and written English.

•⁠ ⁠Strong telephone communication and interpersonal skills.

•⁠ ⁠Confident handling objections and engaging business owners.

•⁠ ⁠Persistent and comfortable with follow-up.

•⁠ ⁠A proactive, results-driven approach to sales.

•⁠ ⁠Able to work independently and manage your own daily activity.

•⁠ ⁠Comfortable working across multiple outreach channels.

•⁠ ⁠Strong organisational and follow-up skills.

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who is confident, persistent and driven to get results.

You should be comfortable picking up the phone, speaking to business owners, handling rejection and finding a way to keep the conversation moving.

You will be given access to lead sources and the tools needed to perform the role. Your job is to turn those leads into qualified conversations and booked meetings.

You won’t be responsible for closing the final sale — the founder will take the introductory sales call and handle the close.
