The Role

"The best salespeople aren't just persistent — they're consistently creative." We're looking for an Inside Sales Representative who shows up every day with the same energy, whether it's their first call or their fiftieth. Someone who can laugh off a "no thanks" and immediately pivot to the next prospect with fresh enthusiasm.

You'll be our reliable revenue engine — the person prospects actually enjoy talking to. Your consistency in outreach, combined with your natural humor and technical fluency, will turn skeptical prospects into engaged conversations.

Key Responsibilities

Consistent creative prospecting & multi -channel outreach

• Master Apollo, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI research tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) to identify decision -makers struggling with data challenges
  
• Show up every single day with the same creative energy — design personalized campaigns that prospects actually want to read
  
• Maintain steady outreach velocity across LinkedIn voice messages, email sequences, and phone calls
  
• Build a reputation as someone who's both professional and genuinely worth talking to
  

The daily grind with a smile

• Make 50+ calls daily, treating each conversation like it's your first of the day
  
• Craft follow -up messages that prospects forward to colleagues because they're too good not to share
  
• Stay consistent with your outreach cadence — prospects should know they can count on hearing from you
  
• Use humor appropriately to build rapport, but never lose sight of business objectives
  

Research & strategic intelligence

• Deep -dive into prospect companies — understand their stack, their pain, and their org before you send a word
  
• Create compelling case studies and one -pagers that tell stories, not lists of features
  
• Stay current on data analytics and AI trends — translate complex concepts into conversations anyone can follow
  
• Build a LinkedIn presence that's authentic, helpful, and occasionally worth reading
  

Customer empathy & discovery

• Understand what a prospect is dealing with before pitching anything — pain -first, solution -second
  
• Ask better questions than your competitors; listen more than you talk on discovery calls
  
• Translate Kanerika's technical capabilities into business outcomes the buyer actually cares about
  
• Build trust over time — follow up with insight, not just "just checking in"
  

AI -first GTM engineering

• Use Clay, Smartlead, Instantly, or Lemlist to build multi -step sequences that run at scale without losing personalization
  
• Prompt Claude, GPT -4, and Perplexity to generate first -line personalization — pulling company news, funding signals, and job change triggers into outreach copy
  
• Use Claude Code or basic Python to automate repetitive tasks: list enrichment, deduplication, bounce cleanup, trigger logic
  
• Set up signal -based outreach (job changes, funding rounds, intent data) so you're reaching prospects at the right moment, not just on a fixed cadence
  

Cold email, campaign management & deliverability

• Write cold emails that get replies — specific openers, one clear CTA, short; know why feature dumps and generic openers fail and never do either
  
• Write subject lines that earn the open; feed what works back into reusable team templates
  
• Own the full campaign lifecycle — build sequences, monitor performance weekly, cut what's underperforming, double down on what's working
  
• Track step -level performance inside sequences — a weak step 3 can tank an otherwise solid campaign
  
• Configure and manage SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain reputation across sending domains; warm up new domains before scaling volume
  
• Monitor inbox placement using tools like Mailreach or Google Postmaster Tools; catch deliverability issues before they compound
  
• Know the difference between a soft bounce, hard bounce, and spam block — and act on each differently
  
• Navigate CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, or Apollo) confidently — your data hygiene is someone else's reporting accuracy
  

What Makes You Different

You're not firing off templated messages. You remember details from previous conversations, make a cold call feel warm within thirty seconds, and bring the same energy to your 60th call as your first.

You also treat outreach like an engineer treats a system — you instrument it, measure it, and improve it. You don't just work the tools, you build on top of them.

You understand that consistency beats perfection. A good outreach strategy executed daily beats a perfect strategy executed sporadically. And you handle rejection with enough grace to turn "we're not interested" into a future pipeline entry.
