The Business Development Representative (BDR) is the growth engine of Early Express, responsible for identifying and engaging new business prospects through targeted cold outreach and pipeline development.

• Familiarity with the print, mail, or fulfillment industry.
• Experience selling B2B services to marketing, operations, or procurement contacts.
• Exposure to outreach tools such as Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, or similar platforms.
