Responsive’s sales team is a revenue-driving team in a high-growth SaaS company. An effective ADR  will understand the company’s vision, goals, and strategy. You will maintain up to date knowledge of the Response Management market. As a part of the account development team you will leverage messaging and collateral, conduct research, and perform outreach activities to nurture and qualify leads that will convert to opportunities, and ultimately new customers. ADRs should be comfortable communicating across a variety of channels including email, phone, and social media.
