Overview
You're an outbound SDR calling US-based healthcare prospects (clinics, hospitals, pain management centers) to book qualified demos for AEs selling StemWave's medical device. You'll work assigned territory lists, make 60-80 cold calls daily, and run follow-up email/LinkedIn sequences. You need to book 20+ qualified meetings per month to earn meaningful bonus income on top of your $3K base.
Role Snapshot
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Role Type | Pure outbound SDR |
| Sales Motion | Outbound-heavy (90%+ cold outreach) |
| Deal Complexity | Consultative (medical device) |
| Sales Cycle | N/A (SDR hands off to AE) |
| Deal Size | N/A (pre-sales role) |
| Quota (est.) | 20+ qualified, held meetings/month |
Company Context
Stage: Unknown (likely early-stage or growth-stage based on hiring LATAM SDRs for cost efficiency)
Size: Unknown
Growth: Actively scaling outbound team under new leadership (Cynthia Handal building the SDR org)
Market Position: Medical device in pain management/neurostimulation spaceācompetitive healthcare market with clinical validation requirements
GTM Reality
Pipeline Sources:
- 90%+ Outbound - You're building pipeline from scratch via cold calls and emails to territory lists
- ~10% Inbound/Referrals - Some warm leads from marketing or existing customer referrals, but don't count on it
SDR/AE Structure: Dedicated SDR team booking meetings for separate AE team (you don't close deals)
SE Support: Unknown, but medical device demos likely involve clinical/technical resources
Competitive Landscape
Main Competitors: Other medical device manufacturers in neurostimulation/pain management (specific competitors not disclosed)
How They Differentiate: Clinical outcomes data, patient impact story ("genuinely improves patients' lives" per the posting)
Common Objections:
- "We already have a solution"
- "Send me information" (brush-off)
- Budget/procurement cycles in healthcare
- Need clinical evidence/FDA approvals
Win Themes: Patient outcomes, clinical validation, differentiated technology
What You'll Actually Do
Time Breakdown
Cold Calling (50%) | Email/LinkedIn Follow-up (25%) | Research/List Prep (15%) | Internal Meetings (10%)
Key Activities
- Cold Calling: 60-80 dials per day to clinic administrators, practice managers, doctors, or pain management specialists. Most won't answer. You're trying to get 3-5 conversations daily and book 1-2 meetings per day (20-25/month) to hit quota.
- Follow-up Sequences: Send email and LinkedIn messages to prospects who didn't answer, requested info, or need nurturing. You'll spend 1-2 hours daily managing these sequences.
- Territory Research: Review your assigned accounts, find right contacts (not always easy in healthcare), understand clinic size/specialty to personalize outreach.
- Meeting Qualification: Screen prospects before handing to AEsāverify they have budget authority, timeline, and actual pain point the device addresses. Meetings that no-show or aren't qualified hurt your bonus.
The Honest Reality
What's Hard
- Gatekeepers: Healthcare receptionists are trained to block sales calls. You'll get hung up on a lot.
- Rejection Volume: 90%+ of calls go to voicemail or get rejected. You need thick skin and consistency to hit 60-80 dials daily.
- Qualification Pressure: You're paid per "qualified, held" meeting. If prospects no-show or AEs reject the meeting as unqualified, you don't get the $50. This means extra screening work.
- Time Zone Management: You're LATAM-based calling US prospects, so expect working US business hours (evening/night for you depending on location).
- Proving Yourself: They want "absolute killers" with a proven track record of 20+ sets/month. If you're new to SDR work, this may not be the right first role.
What Success Looks Like
- Booking 20-25 qualified meetings per month = $4,000-4,250 total comp
- Maintaining 2-3% connect rate and 15-20% connect-to-meeting conversion
- Low no-show rate (<20%) because you're qualifying properly upfront
- AEs accepting 90%+ of your meetings as qualified
Who You're Selling To
