Why does this role exist?
This role exists to buy back 10–15 hours per week for the owner by delegating the systematic pre-qualification, vetting, and pre-construction intake process. As the company scales toward $5M in annual sales, the SDR will handle first-touch sales calls, educate prospects on the pre-construction workflow, and move only properly qualified clients into paid, on-site assessments.
