Business Development Representative

Our Mission

We’re not your average benefits platform – we’re the driving force that uplifts people’s lives. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive—both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

As a BDR at Ben, you will be a cornerstone of our sales team and building our outbound sales model. You will work closely with the Founders and both our Growth and Customer Success teams to grow the sales pipeline and develop best practices that will ensure our long-term scalability. You'll work towards weekly and monthly targets and evaluate different approaches for efficiency and effectiveness to find the best strategic sales processes.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who is passionate about developing a career in sales, and who later down the line, may want to lead and grow our BDR function, move into field sales, or even join our customer success team supporting clients. It really is the beginning for us, so it's an exciting time to join!

Things you will be working on… 

• Research the market: utilise prospecting and research tools to identify, target and qualify relevant prospective clients within Ben's ideal customer profile

• Engage new customers: execute outbound prospecting campaigns in coordination with the Growth team (emails, calls, video-mails, social selling) to generate leads in our target markets

• Develop new customers: understand customer needs to gather key prospect information, generate interest and bring high-quality prospects into the sales pipeline

• Deliver results: pursue both individual and team goals and work towards monthly targets and KPIs

• Contribute to the foundations of a growing world-class sales team: Bring your sales skill set to the table and help us continue to create the foundations for a high performing team

You will love this role if you have…

• Extremely organised - you’ll be owning and managing your sales pipeline and KPIs, so it’s crucial you can prioritise your work and manage your time effectively

• Highly motivated by targets - you’ll have a strong drive to succeed and hit your weekly and monthly KPIs

• Passionate about sales - you’ll genuinely care about helping people find the right solution, and you’ll have a proactive approach to expanding your knowledge of our product offering and our market

• Knowledge of systems would be a bonus - it would be great if you have working knowledge of Hubspot, Outreach, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but this isn’t a deal breaker!

• Excellent verbal and written English is essential - you’ll be communicating with our potential customers on a daily basis

• Drive & motivation - you’ll be a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, enjoys a rapid pace and wants to make a difference

You will not love this role if you….

• Aren’t comfortable working in a fast paced environment

• Are not ready to own your own results and be held accountable

• Like maintaining the status-quo and aren’t willing to think outside the box

• Like a lot of structure and processes, we are a start-up and are still working things out and we don’t always know what’s next 

• Are not comfortable with ambiguity, we will give you guidance but sometimes you have to work things out

• Wait for others to step up, or to be told what to do. We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive
