Sales Development Representative

About Trust Keith

• We’re a fast-growing tech start-up with 12 employees and 7-figure revenues. We pride ourselves on running an efficient and high performing business that doesn’t rely on VC funding (we’re bootstrapped).
• Our Data Protection-as-a-Service solution is used by over 50 leading tech start-ups, and we’re quickly becoming recognised as a leader in the start-up and scale-up arena.
• We’re a work-from-home led business embracing flexible working, although this candidate will be expected to co-work in London with the rest of the Revenue team once p/week on average.
• We recently won Tempo’s Top 100 Start-up Award 2 years in a row (2023 and 2024); Flexa’s Industry Awards for Flexible SaaS and Software (2023); Tally Markets Stars of the Workplace (2023), & Tech Nations Rising Star Competition (2022).

In This Role You Will:

• Book outbound meetings through a combination of targeted cold calls, tailored e-mails, social outreach, and networking
• Engage with C-suite level contacts within UK Tech Start-ups to determine if they have a need for Trust Keith’s Data Protection solution
• Communicate Trust Keith’s offering effectively to ensure prospects understand how we can help their business, and use closing skills to book meetings
• Maintain impeccable admin and update all activity in Hubspot
• Develop your sales skills, shadow the Head of Revenue on selected deals through to close, and progress into an Account Executive role in due course
• Get experience working with the Head of Revenue to build a repeatable and scalable sales system that consistently delivers results

The Ideal Candidate:

[We are an inclusive and diverse workplace, and we wholeheartedly welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join our team. We believe that a diverse range of thoughts, experiences, and perspectives greatly enhances our organisation and empowers us to excel together.]

• You genuinely want to work in a start-up and you’re ready to go on the journey of scaling a business to £5m ARR and beyond.
• You thrive in a culture that champions continuous learning – you’re willing and determined to learn from those around you.
• You have at least one year of successful experience in outbound sales and you’re ready to put in the hard graft required to be successful in your next role.
• You’re based within travel distance of London and happy to co-work with the rest of the Revenue team once p/week on average (nothing beats an in-person dial sesh).
• You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills – articulating and simplifying complex topics comes naturally to you.
• You strongly align with our values:

• • • Brave: You’re willing to challenge the status quo, share an unpopular opinion, and deliver and receive honest feedback
    • ✅ Diligent: You make yourself accountable by default, following through on what you say you’re going to do
    • Empathetic: You’re able to put yourself in the customers’ and other team members’ shoes; everyone is human, after all
    • Personal & Professional Growth Mindset: You’re ambitious, want to learn, grow, and become the best version of yourself

  Quirky: You don’t take yourself too seriously… We’re very aware we’re building a company in an ‘unsexy’ industry, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. We’re called Trust “Keith” because data compliance is often associated as a “boring” and “unsexy” subject stereotypically conducted by individuals with names like “Keith”
