About the Role At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a results-driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to generate and close new business across accounting, bookkeeping, and financial services.

This is more than an appointment-setting role. You’ll own prospecting, outreach, discovery, follow-ups, pipeline management, and the closing of smaller deals.

You’ll target businesses across industries including construction, home services, e-commerce, trucking, real estate, and churches, helping prospects identify financial and accounting needs and move toward the right solution.

  • Maintain consistent follow-up cadences to generate qualified opportunities

Discovery, Qualification & Closing* Conduct discovery and qualification calls with business owners and decision-makers

  • Qualify opportunities using frameworks such as BANT, SPIN, or MEDDIC
  • Present solutions, handle objections, and move prospects toward a decision
  • Prepare proposals and close smaller opportunities independently
  • Coordinate successful handoffs to onboarding and service delivery teams

  • Track activities, notes, follow-ups, pipeline stages, and deal status
  • Ensure qualified opportunities never stall due to missed follow-ups
  • Maintain strong pipeline visibility and CRM hygiene

Sales Performance* Track outreach, response rates, conversions, pipeline, and revenue

  • Review performance regularly and optimize messaging
  • Provide clear weekly pipeline and sales updates
  • Support basic lead-generation campaigns through Facebook and Instagram where needed

What We’re Looking For* Proven B2B sales experience in accounting, bookkeeping, financial services, or closely related professional services

  • Experience with outbound prospecting and lead generation
  • Confidence conducting discovery calls, presentations, and objection handling
  • Experience managing opportunities from prospecting through close
  • Familiarity with HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar CRM platforms
  • Experience with tools such as Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, or Salesloft
  • Excellent spoken and written English
  • Strong follow-up, organization, and relationship-building skills

What Success Looks Like* Consistent qualified opportunities generated

  • Strong lead-to-discovery and discovery-to-close conversion
  • Revenue generated from closed opportunities
  • Reliable outbound activity and response rates
  • Clean, accurate CRM and pipeline management
  • Consistent and proactive prospect follow-up

Why Join?* Fully remote role

  • Direct ownership of pipeline and revenue
  • Opportunity to manage more of the sales cycle than a traditional SDR
