What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Sales Development Representative position at Boom?
🚀 Sales Development Representative (SDR)🚀
Help legacy businesses thrive. Hustle. Connect. Close.
Have you ever wanted to be in high-ticket sales? Or an opportunity to break into M&A / investment banking!? Here's your chance! We looking for a savage cold caller that wants to make a ton of money, but willing to grind for it.
We’re Boom—an AI-native succession platform designed to streamline, democratize, and accelerate the sale of legacy industrial businesses. We’re venture-backed by the likes of Motivate VC, who believed in us early and are doubling down for seed round! Since our founding, we’ve skyrocketed from $0 mid last year to over $800K in ARR today and over $150m in Exclusive Businesses.
At Boom, we’re not just building technology—we’re transforming how small businesses navigate succession.

We’re seeking a Business Development Representative (BDR) who thrives on cold calling, loves the chase, and is hungry to build something massive from the ground up. If you get a thrill from turning cold leads into appointments, are energized by connecting with people, and want to play a key role in a multi-billion-dollar market, this is your shot.

🚀 Work directly with leadership to refine messaging and strategy.
💡 Become an expert in SMB succession and how Boom’s solution delivers value.
📈 Hit and exceed targets—because winning feels good.
