Hybrid Sales | Self-Sourced Pipeline | The Fast Track to Field BDM

If you’re a natural hunter who loves the chase, keep reading.

WHY THRYV?

A hybrid sales role built for ambitious hunters.

This isn’t a “wait for leads” kind of job. This is a proper hunter role, where you generate your own opportunities, build your own pipeline, and convert conversations into revenue — both over the phone and face to face.

You’ll spend around 70% of your time creating momentum over the phone — making cold calls, running virtual meetings, and turning complete strangers into paying clients. The other 30% is spent meeting those clients locally when an in-person conversation gets the deal across the line.

And the best part? It’s designed as a 6–12 month launchpad into our fully field-based, higher earning Business Development Manager (BDM) roles. If you’re hungry, coachable, and love the buzz of generating your own success from a cold call, this is where your field career begins.

GROW YOUR CAREER, GROW YOUR PAY CHEQUE

The SAR role is intentionally built for fast progression.

Deliver consistent results, build a strong pipeline, close business — and you’ll move quickly into a full-field BDM role, where base salary plus commission means strong performers regularly take home $150,000+.

We don’t believe in gatekeeping.

When you’re ready, you’re promoted.

A BIT ABOUT US

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Self-Source & Sell (your bread and butter)

You are the engine of your own success. There are no handed-to-you leads here — you build your pipeline from scratch.

You’ll:

•  Build your own prospect lists from the ground up


•  Make high-volume cold calls daily


•  Create opportunities through genuine hustle


•  Turn cold introductions into warm meetings — then close them


•  Fill, manage, and grow your own pipeline

Hunters thrive here.

PHONE-FIRST SELLING (70%)

Your day will include:

•  Cold call blocks — dialling fresh prospects every day


•  Virtual meetings with prospects you’ve warmed up yourself


•  SMS and email follow-ups


•  Understanding needs, pitching value, and guiding prospects forward


•  Keeping opportunities alive with strong follow-through

LOCAL FIELD VISITS (30%)

When momentum is hot and stakes are high, you’ll:

•  Meet prospects in person


•  Run face-to-face meetings


•  Build trust that only boots-on-ground selling provides


•  Close business locally
  
  

FULL-CYCLE SALES OWNERSHIP

This isn’t an appointment-setting role — you own the whole journey:

•  Prospect → Cold Call → Book → Pitch → Demo → Close


•  Then nurture customers for 3 months post-sale to lock in success and loyalty

WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT

You’re someone who:

•  Loves the thrill of hunting for your own leads — and isn’t fazed by cold outreach


•  Has full-cycle cold calling experience, or the drive to master it quickly


•  Is confident on the phone and even stronger in person


•  Doesn’t wait for the phone to ring — you make it ring


•  Connects easily and genuinely with people from the very first call


•  Picks up tech quickly and uses it to stay organised and sharp


•  Understands the realities of small business


•  Is hungry, ambitious, and relentless in pursuit of results


•  Holds a current, valid driver’s licence — essential for local field visits

If you’ve got grit, we’ve got the pathway.
