Sales Development

The sales development function without the internal build: no recruitment cycle, no ramp period, no single point of failure when someone resigns.

01 — Definition

What sales development is

Sales development is the top-of-funnel function responsible for identifying prospects, opening conversations and qualifying them into opportunities for account executives.

Internally it is one of the hardest functions to build. It needs specialist tooling, active management, continuous training and enough volume for individual performance to be readable.

02 — The problem

The business problem it solves

  • Hiring an SDR takes months, and productive output takes months more.
  • One departure removes the entire function and the knowledge with it.
  • The tooling, data and infrastructure spend is significant before the first meeting is booked.
  • SDRs often report to leaders who have never run the function and cannot coach it.

03 — Fit

Who it is for

  • Companies considering a first SDR hire and weighing the true cost of it.
  • Teams with account executives who are prospecting instead of selling.
  • Businesses that tried an internal SDR function and could not make it consistent.

04 — Process

How we run it

  1. 01

    Function design

    We define what the function is responsible for, what it hands over and how performance will be judged.

  2. 02

    Enablement

    Offer, objections, competitive context and qualification criteria are documented so execution is consistent.

  3. 03

    Tooling and data

    Data sources, sequencing tools and infrastructure are provided and maintained by us.

  4. 04

    Execution

    Prospecting, outreach and qualification run to a defined daily and weekly rhythm.

  5. 05

    Management

    Activity and quality are reviewed continuously, with coaching against real conversations.

  6. 06

    Reporting

    You see activity, conversations, qualified opportunities and the conversion rates between them.
