What are the responsibilities and job description for the Entry-Level Sales Development Representative [$72K - $78K OTE] position at Team Grid?
If you’re graduating soon or just starting out, and want something fast-paced where you actually learn real-world skills, keep reading.
First quick reality check:
- Around 40% of CEOs have a background in sales or business development (multiple studies from sources like Forbes and Harvard Business Review have highlighted how common this path is)
- Translation: knowing how to communicate, influence, and understand how businesses work = career leverage.
So what is this really?
We’re helping recent college grads and individuals looking to transition into tech sales land roles at funded startup/tech companies that are actually hiring, not ghost-posting jobs or collecting resumes.
Think of this less like a job board, more like:
- clarity on what roles actually look like
- honest expectations (day-to-day, pay, growth)
- and a real path into a career that compounds
The role (without the corporate fluff)
You’d start in a Business Development / Sales role, but don’t let that word scare you.
It’s not just “selling.”
It’s learning how to:
- talk to people confidently (yes, even senior leaders)
- understand how companies make decisions
- write messages that actually get replies
- think on your feet and solve problems
What your day will look like
- Reaching out to companies (in a thoughtful, non-spammy way)
- Having real conversations, not scripts
- Learning what works and what doesn’t
- Working with a team that’s figuring it out alongside you
Why people go into this role
- You grow fast (way faster than most entry-level roles)
- You build skills you’ll use anywhere — startups, corporate, your own thing
- There’s a clear path to higher earning roles within ~1–2 years
You’ll be around:
- people early in their careers who are motivated but still figuring it out
- teams that value showing up, learning, and helping each other win
- environments where you’re not expected to be perfect, just consistent
If this sounds like you
- You don’t have everything figured out (no one does)
- You want to build confidence and real skills
- You’re open to trying something that’s a little uncomfortable at first
(Must be able to commute to Framingham, MA and should be able to interview in the next 2 weeks)
