Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the Sales Development Representative position at Planful. With a Bachelor's degree in Finance and over a year of experience in top-of-funnel SaaS sales, I have honed my outbound prospecting skills and consistently exceeded quotas. I am proficient in Salesforce and Outreach, and I thrive in fast-paced environments. I am eager to bring my hunter mentality and collaborative spirit to Planful's dynamic team. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Can you describe your experience with outbound prospecting and how you generate leads?
I have used tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Outreach to identify target accounts and contacts. I prioritize based on ideal customer profile and engage through personalized emails and calls, tracking metrics to optimize outreach.
How do you handle rejection and maintain motivation?
I view rejection as a learning opportunity and stay resilient by focusing on long-term goals. I analyze what went wrong, adjust my approach, and celebrate small wins to maintain momentum.
How would you research a target account before reaching out?
I start by understanding the company's industry, size, and recent news. Then I identify key stakeholders and their challenges via LinkedIn, company blogs, and financial reports. This helps tailor my messaging.
How do you prioritize your leads and manage your time effectively?
I use a scoring system based on fit and engagement. High-fit leads with recent activity get immediate attention. I batch tasks, set daily call/email goals, and use CRM to track follow-ups.
Walk me through a typical cold call script.
I start with a brief introduction, state the purpose, and ask a relevant question to engage the prospect. For example: 'Hi, this is [Name] from Planful. I noticed your company is expanding. Are you facing challenges with financial planning?' Then I listen and pivot based on their response.
