The Sales Development Representative (SDR) will play a crucial role in driving our business growth by identifying and engaging with potential clients. The primary focus of this role is to conduct physical cold calls (i.e., in-person visits) on a targeted list of prospects, qualify them, and subsequently arrange engaging Lunch-and-Learn sessions (i.e., full sales demos) with our Account Executives and Business Development Representatives. The SDR will be an integral part of our sales cycle, contributing to the expansion of our client base and the success of our clear aligner solutions.

The territory for this role is Houston, Texas. Candidates must be located in Houston, TX as this is an outside sales role (visiting practices in person). While we expect overnight travel to be limited, SDRs are expected to be in the field 4 days a week.
