Hire a BDR to Open Doors at Your Target Accounts.

The role

What Your BDR Does

A dedicated business development representative who works only on your account, during your buyers' business hours.

Works a named account list

Takes your target account list, or helps build one, and prioritizes the accounts most likely to buy this quarter.

Researches every account

Maps the buying team, recent news, hiring and tech stack, so every message has a real reason behind it.

Multi-threads into accounts

Reaches several stakeholders in the same company, from users to the budget owner, so one unanswered email doesn't end the effort.

Calls with context

Opens each call with something specific to the account instead of a generic pitch, and asks for the next conversation.

Books meetings with the buying team

Sets first meetings with the right people and briefs your AE on who is attending and why.

Reports on account progress

Tracks engagement by account in your CRM, so you can see which target accounts are warming up.

Onboarding

Your BDR's First 30 Days

Every rep follows the same structured ramp, so you know what's happening each week.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and training

    We learn your product, buyers and sales process, then build your BDR's playbook: talk tracks, objection handling and what counts as a win.

  2. Week 2

    Practice and go live

    Role-play sessions with our coaches until the pitch sounds natural, then first live activity with your sign off.

  3. Week 3

    Review and refine

    We review calls and results with you and tighten the targeting, messaging and handoffs.

  4. Week 4

    Report and plan

    Your first monthly review. We agree targets for next month and whether to add more reps.

Reporting

FAQ

BDR Questions

What is the difference between a BDR and an SDR?

Both create pipeline. An SDR works a broad market at volume. A BDR works fewer, larger accounts in more depth and reaches several people in each one. Many teams start with one and add the other.

Can a BDR work with our marketing team?

Yes. BDRs are a natural fit for account based marketing. They follow up with engaged accounts and tell marketing which messages land.

How long does a BDR take to ramp?

Account based outreach takes longer than volume calling, because each account gets more research and more touches. We agree realistic early targets with you and report progress every week.

Do you provide account data?

We can use your data tools or ours. For account based work we usually start from the target list your sales and marketing teams already agree on.
