Sales Development Representative; SDR

No prior sales background required. This is an entry point into a professional sales career with a clear, deliberate path into a Business Development Manager seat. We train the process, the scripts, and the market. What we ask for is work ethic, coachability, and the willingness to pick up the phone.

At Steadfast Employment, we are all about connecting great people with great opportunities. Guided by our purpose—to serve others by creating opportunities that build careers and strengthen teams—we do not just fill jobs; we build lasting relationships and meaningful career paths. Our ambitious 10-year target is to create 50,000 opportunities for work
, and every team member plays a vital role in achieving this goal.

We are a family-owned, three-time Clearly Rated Best of Staffing winner serving light industrial, skilled and marine trades, and administrative employers from branches in Flowood, Mississippi and Houma and Metairie, Louisiana.

• Process Driven
• Unreasonably Helpful
• High Energy
• Never Finished
• Truth and Trust

Every team member is expected to:

• Understand and demonstrate our core values daily.
• Use our values as a compass for decisions and actions.
• Hold yourself and your teammates accountable to living our values.
• Recognize and celebrate moments when our values are lived out.
• Speak up if you see behaviors that conflict with our values.
• Support new team members in learning what our values look like in practice.

The Sales Development Representative owns the front of the sales funnel for all three Steadfast branches. This seat does not close business. It creates qualified conversations for our Business Development Managers by working a defined multi-touch outreach sequence across every decision maker and influencer inside a target account.

The seat is based in Flowood and covers the full Steadfast footprint: the Mississippi market served by the Flowood branch, and the Southeast Louisiana market served by the Houma and Metairie branches. Meetings are routed to the Business Development Manager who owns that market: one BDM in Flowood, one BDM covering Houma and Metairie.

The work is phone-first and disciplined. Success in this seat looks like a full contact map on every account, every touch logged the same day it happens, dead accounts killed early with a documented reason, and a steady flow of meetings that the Business Development Manager accepts as real. If you like a clear process, a scoreboard you can see every day, and a short path into a full sales seat, this is a strong fit.

• Prospect into Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana accounts, keeping a balanced list across the Flowood, Houma, and Metairie markets.
• Learn the industries each branch serves—light industrial and manufacturing in Mississippi, marine and skilled trades along the Gulf Coast—and adjust the message to fit.
• Route every qualified meeting to the Business Development Manager who owns that market.
• Work assigned coverage targets by branch rather than letting one market absorb all the effort.

• Run the assigned outreach sequence to completion on every account in flight, using phone, email, and Linked In.
• Work the full contact set on each account rather than repeating touches on a single person.
• Hold to the scheduled cadence, including early morning and late afternoon calling windows when the target buyer is reachable.
• Maintain the assigned number of accounts in flight and bring new accounts into the sequence on a weekly rhythm.

• Set qualified meetings between target accounts and the Business Development Manager for that market.
• Confirm and…
