Sales Development Representative (SDR)

The Sales Development Representative is the first conversation many defense contractors will have with Cuick Trac. You will find and qualify small and mid-sized manufacturers, engineering firms, and other federal contractors that need to protect CUI and pass a CMMC Level 2 assessment, then book qualified meetings for our Account Executives. This is an entry-level, remote role built for someone who wants to start a career in cybersecurity sales. No prior compliance background is required. We will train you on CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and the Cuick Trac solution. What we need from you is curiosity, discipline, strong communication skills, and the persistence to have many conversations every week. Key Responsibilities: Pipeline generation (about 70%) Prospect into defense contractors and DIB suppliers using phone, email, LinkedIn, and sales engagement tools. Respond quickly to inbound leads from the website, demo requests, webinars, events, and content downloads.

Are they subject to DFARS 252.204-7012 and an upcoming CMMC Level 2 requirement? What is their timeline (contract award, prime flow-down, assessment date)? Who manages their IT today (internal team, MSP, none)? Who are the decision-makers and influencers? Document every conversation clearly in the CRM and give AEs a clean, complete handoff. Route partner-sourced and MSP-related leads according to channel rules of engagement. Market and partner support (about 10%) Support event and webinar follow-up campaigns with Marketing.
