About the job
LumenServe is hiring a Business Development Representative (BDR) for our Austin, TX inside sales team. This is an entry-level B2B sales role with structured onboarding, daily coaching, and clearly defined metrics, on a hybrid schedule once ramped. You are not responsible for closing deals; your focus is outbound prospecting and setting qualified discovery meetings for the outside sales team.
Compensation: $20.00/hour base plus uncapped commission and incentives, with first-year target earnings of $50,000 to $60,000 (top performers exceed this) and a sign-on bonus. Commissions paid bi-monthly.
What you'll do: make outbound calls (typically 20 to 40 per day) to prospective tower owners, identify needs and educate prospects on LumenServe's services, set meetings and advance opportunities through the pipeline, team up with outside sales on proposals using the CRM, and maintain accurate CRM records and follow-up.
Great for: recent graduates starting a sales career, career switchers moving into B2B sales, and motivated people who thrive on the phone and want clear earning upside and promotion paths (100% of the team has been promoted or moved into new roles).
Qualifications: strong communication skills and comfort with phone-based sales; basic computer proficiency and willingness to learn CRM tools; a Bachelor's degree is preferred but not required with relevant experience. Telecom or obstruction-lighting experience is a plus but not required, we train you.
Benefits: health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); paid time off; life insurance; flexible schedule and work-from-home flexibility; plus bonus and commission opportunities.
