Sales Development Representative

Mechdyne Corporation
Marshalltown, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/21/2026

Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Build Real Sales Skills. Learn Technical Selling. Accelerate Your Career.

Role Overview

Are you a recent graduate looking to get into Sales?

This role is designed for individuals at the early stage of their careers who are ambitious, curious, and motivated by growth.

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Mechdyne, you will join a structured, performance-focused development pathway designed to teach how professional technical sales actually works. You will receive formal sales training, ongoing coaching, and hands-on experience working with real customers, complex technical environments, and consultative sales engagements.

This is not a high-volume, transactional SDR role. It is the first step in a clearly defined progression into Technical Sales Consultant positions, where you will work directly with clients on complex problems, contribute to solution design, and support long-cycle, high-value opportunities.

No previous sales experience is required. What matters most is your willingness to learn, take feedback seriously, and perform consistently.

High performers in this role progress into roles with greater responsibility, increased autonomy, and significantly enhanced earning potential.



What You Will Do

Your primary objective is to learn how to sell professionally, confidently, and consultatively within a technical environment.

With training and mentoring, you will learn to:

  • Execute structured prospecting strategies across email, phone, and digital channels.
  • Develop a disciplined, repeatable sales approach based on best-practice methodologies.
  • Hold confident, high-quality discovery conversations with business and technical stakeholders.
  • Learn how to identify customer challenges and articulate both commercial and technical value.
  • Qualify opportunities effectively to support a strong pipeline of high-potential engagements.
  • Use CRM and modern sales tools to manage activity, track performance, and measure progress.
  • Apply coaching and feedback to improve effectiveness over time.
  • Build professional behaviors around accountability, resilience, and consistent execution.

Performance in this role is clear, supported, and measured. Success directly informs progression opportunities into Technical Sales Consultant roles, where you will support complex sales cycles and become a trusted advisor to customers.



The Skills You Will Develop

By performing well in this role, you will develop skills that are transferable across enterprise, technical, and consultative sales careers, including:

  • Professional sales and negotiation fundamentals
  • Confident communication with senior and technical stakeholders
  • Commercial thinking within technically complex environments
  • Data-driven performance management and pipeline forecasting
  • Mental resilience, structure, and goal discipline

You will not be expected to arrive with these skills — they are developed through training, practice, and coaching.



What We’re Looking For

We are looking for individuals who:

  • Are ambitious and motivated by progression and skill development.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally, even when learning unfamiliar topics.
  • Respond well to structure, coaching, and clear performance expectations.
  • Demonstrate discipline, persistence, and accountability.
  • Want to build a long-term career in technical or consultative sales.

This role suits early-career professionals who want to learn selling properly, rather than those looking for short-term sales roles.



Why Start a Sales Career at Mechdyne?

Selling in technically complex environments is different from selling commodity software.

At Mechdyne, you’ll be exposed to:

  • Research-led, engineering-driven, and specialist environments.
  • Customers who care about outcomes, not just features
  • Longer-cycle, consultative sales processes that reward learning and preparation.
  • Technical teams who actively support your development

The skills gained here translate into enterprise sales, technical consulting, strategic account roles, and beyond.



Career Progression

This role is part of a defined pathway:

Sales Development Representative → Technical Sales Consultant → Senior Consultant / Strategic Accounts

Progression is based on performance, capability development, and readiness — not tenure alone.
