Sales Development Representative

Millennium is looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) who wants to begin the path to a career in event sponsorship sales and is looking for an opportunity to do this in a hyper growth, market disruptor. You have great communication and a strong work ethic. You can work both autonomously as well as a member of a team.

In the SDR role, you will commence the sales cycle by following up on sales led outreach campaigns as well as prospecting and cold calling via primarily the phone but also with complementary email and social selling tasks. All of this work will be to provide ongoing, qualified sales opportunities to Millennium’s Sponsorship Sales Account Executives. This is a salaried position with a variable compensation for meeting objectives that are critical to the overall success of Millennium.
