Sales Development Representative

About Surya

Surya is disrupting the managed services business. While traditional MSPs charge for volume, we engineer the volume out of existence — productized IT logistics with published pricing, published scope, and no procurement cycle to get started. We crush the MSP bill at half the cost, serving healthcare and manufacturing operators across the Triangle and beyond, all run out of our 17,000 sq ft RTP facility.

See exactly what you’d be selling at suryatechnologies.com. The pricing is public, the tiers are public, the savings model is public — which makes your job a lot easier than most sales gigs.

The Role

This is a ground-floor, high-velocity sales seat for someone hungry. We’re not chasing year-long enterprise deals — we’re running a quick-close wedge motion: get a foot in the door, book a facility tour or a 30-day pilot, and close. Our entry point is built for speed — a $2,500 pilot or month-to-month Foundation tier means a prospect can say yes today, no committee required.

You’ll be in the field — walking into facilities, shaking hands, booking meetings, and driving prospects to RTP for a floor tour. We’ll teach you IT logistics; you bring the drive, the discipline, and the willingness to hear “no” ten times to get the “yes.” This is an early hire who becomes a leader as we grow — the future of the company.

What You’ll Do

• Generate new business through in-person prospecting — site visits, drop-ins, and local networking across RTP and the Triangle
• Run a high-velocity motion: lead with the low-friction wedge (30-day pilot, month-to-month Foundation) and close fast
• Book and run facility tours at our RTP operations center — our best closing tool
• Build and work a pipeline of target accounts (multi-site healthcare groups, manufacturers, RTP scaleups)
• Follow up relentlessly by phone and email between field visits
• Log activity and keep your pipeline clean in our CRM
• Hit weekly activity and meeting targets

What We’re Looking For

• A polished, ambitious self-starter — the kind of early hire who becomes a leader as we grow
• The right attitude above all — coachable, resilient, competitive, relentless
• Comfortable walking into a room and starting a conversation with a stranger
• Strong work ethic; treats “pounding the pavement” as the job, not a chore
• A bias for speed — energized by volume and quick wins, not long waits
• Strong presentation and writing skills — you can command a room and write a clean follow-up email
• Clear communicator, organized, follows through
• 0–2 years experience — recent grads welcome
• Bonus: any sales, retail, hospitality, or customer-facing experience

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (4-year) with a minimum 3.5 GPA
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship, now or in the future
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (this is a field role)

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $55,000
• On-target earnings: ~$90,000 with uncapped commission — a solid rep closing two pilots a month earns about $85,000, and there’s no ceiling on the rest
• Additional 4% commission on enterprise contracts you source
• 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar company match up to 4%
• BCBSNC medical with 80% of the premium employer-paid, plus dental and vision
• Two weeks of paid time off plus company holidays
• A fast sales cycle — you see your wins (and your commission) quickly
• Direct mentorship from company leadership and a clear path to senior sales roles as we scale

One More Thing

Skip the template. We don’t want “I am writing to express my interest in the position.” Write us a short cover letter — 250 words, your real voice — making the case for why we should let you come sell for us.

Tell us about a time you wanted something and didn’t take no for an answer. Show us you can write, show us you’ve got the fire, and show us it’s you on the page — not a chatbot. We can tell the difference, and the ones who phone it in don’t make the next round.
