About this Role
The BDR builds top-of-funnel pipeline by proactively reaching licensed U.S. dispensaries by phone, email, LinkedIn, and any other channel that works. You'll connect with dispensary decision-makers, qualify their interest, and book discovery calls for an AE or AM to hold. You'll also own the rework of stale inbound leads, re-engaging them with a full outbound motion as part of your active account list. This is an outbound-driven, account-based role covering the entire U.S. rather than a fixed metro or region.
- Department: Sales – Business Development
- Reports To: Sales Manager, Business Development
- Location: Remote
- Career Path: SDR → BDR → AE/AM
- Book qualified discovery calls with an AE or AM by reaching dispensary decision-makers nationwide, and hand off each meeting with complete context and documentation.
- Make at least 50 outbound calls per day while running multiple Gong sequences (multi-touch call and email cadences) in parallel.
- Research, segment, and prioritize target accounts from the full universe of non-Dutchie licensed dispensaries, following the outreach priorities set by sales leadership (e.g., a seasonal push, a product launch, or a shift in business priorities).
- Qualify prospects using MEDDPICC and Dutchie's 4-Part Framework (Why Change / Why Dutchie / Why Now / Who Can Make It Happen) before booking a discovery call.
- Keep activity logs, call notes, and opportunity records accurate and current in Salesforce.
- Stay current on Dutchie's product suite, the competitive landscape, and objection-handling techniques to improve outbound conversion.
- Attend required B2B events and trade shows, and make in-market dispensary visits, to build new connections with prospect accounts.
- 1+ years of experience in outbound sales, cold calling, or business development (SaaS experience preferred).
- Strong phone-based selling skills, resilience, and objection-handling ability.
- Comfort running a true multi-channel motion (calls, email sequencing, and social outreach), not phone-only.
- Proficiency with Salesforce and Gong, including managing multiple simultaneous outbound sequences.
- Comfort working in a high-volume, metrics-driven environment (50+ calls per day) without a fixed territory or static book of accounts. Priorities shift with campaigns and business needs.
- Strong research skills for identifying and prioritizing decision-makers at target accounts.
- Have prior experience selling into cannabis retail, POS, or e-commerce platforms.
- Have experience partnering directly with quota-carrying Account Executives and Account Managers.
