Job description
At Expel, we’ve got our eye on the long game - and it starts with you. Our customers need to be able to trust us, and that begins the second you get them on the phone or hook them with your email or LinkedIn message.
Our promise to them: we do what we say, and they will love what we do. We don’t use sales jargon, replay tired phrases to describe ourselves, or negotiate like we’re trying to sell them a pen (get it??). We want our customers to not only love our product, but feel good about how they get treated during every interaction with us. And that starts with you.
We’re a breath of fresh air in an enterprise information security market that’s confusing, hostile and dominated by vendors focused on their widget instead of what customers actually want or need. Even if the timing isn’t right, we believe we should still offer value because chances are they’ll be a customer six or 12 months down the road.
Have people ever described you as ‘innately competitive’? What about an ‘absolute hustler’? If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to build a strong base foundation for your career in cyber security sales - you’re in the right place. We’re looking for our next Go-Getter to join our Inside SDR Team in a high impact role that comes fully stacked with the tools and training for you to set yourself up for success!
In this role, you’ll be working closely with Marketing and Inside Sales Account Executives to learn the in’s and out’s of sales from cradle to grave. You’ll become an expert in what it takes to attract, engage, qualify and (drum-roll please) close new business at Expel.
Hooked yet? We’d love to talk!

- Develop and keep your knowledge up to date on Expel’s services, partners, differentiators, competitors, value proposition and related security technologies so you can effectively prospect and qualify leads.

- Partner with Inside AE’s to strategically prospect new business with the right titles/accounts.
