As a Sales Development Representative, you’ll take your first steps into enterprise software sales by working directly on pipeline creation and customer engagement. This role is designed for early career talent who want hands on experience, clear development, and exposure to how large organizations buy technology.

You won’t just be learning theory. You’ll be actively involved in outbound prospecting, supported by experienced sales professionals who will coach you and help you grow.

What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll support pipeline growth across strategic accounts in Germany by:

• Reaching out to potential customers via phone, email, and LinkedIn
• Researching companies and identifying relevant decision makers
• Starting conversations that lead to qualified sales opportunities
• Booking meetings for Account Executives and supporting deal progression
• Tracking activity and performance in Salesforce
• Working toward clear KPIs such as Meetings Booked and Opportunity Creation

Your work directly supports revenue growth and the wider sales team.

The bigger picture
You’ll be part of Planon, a global leader in Smart Sustainable Building Management software.

Our technology helps organizations operate smarter buildings, reduce energy consumption, and improve sustainability. We work with more than 3,200 customers worldwide and are backed by Schneider Electric.

This means you’ll gain early exposure to:
Enterprise sales environments

• Long term customer relationships
• Account based selling
• Technology that supports real sustainability goals

A realistic view
Outbound sales takes persistence. You will hear “no.”

But with the right support, structure, and mindset, this role builds skills that are highly valued across enterprise sales careers.

If you’re motivated to learn and grow in a professional, purpose driven organization, this role offers a strong starting point.

Who this role is for

This is an entry level role. You don’t need years of experience, but you do need motivation and curiosity.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations
• Can handle rejection and stay focused on long term results
• Communicates clearly, both verbally and in writing
• Is organized and disciplined when working with tools like Salesforce
• Is interested in building a career in enterprise or technology sales
• Is fluent in both English and German

Experience in sales, customer service, retail, or a call center environment is a plus, but not required.

What you’ll gain

• Practical experience in outbound enterprise sales
• Clear expectations and measurable performance goals
• Coaching and support from experienced sales professionals
• Exposure to strategic accounts and enterprise customers
• A strong foundation for future roles such as Account Executive or other commercial positions
