Who Are We?

At Apprento, we can help you enter a high-value career with huge growth, learning, and earning potential.
Over the past three years, we've helped unleash hundreds of careers, from those in retail and customer service to teachers, nurses, and tradies.

We partner with some of NZ's leading businesses, striving to bridge passionate individuals with rewarding and growing sales career paths.

To ensure your smooth transition, we offer a 12-month professional education and mentorship program that will teach you new skills, help you learn from others, and prepare you for the challenges ahead.

An example of one of the many roles we're recruiting for is a Sales Development Representative for a high-growth SaaS company selling internationally.

Role Description – Sales Development Representative (SDR)
The SDR is responsible for the initial steps of the sales cycle. It's a fast-paced and people-first role.

Responsibilities Include:

• Handle Inbound Leads: Qualify and nurture inbound opportunities, ensuring they meet the criteria for a handoff to account executives.
• Create Outbound Opportunities: Execute warm and cold outreach, including email campaigns, phone calls, and post-event follow-ups, to engage small and medium-sized businesses in the US.
• Meet and Exceed Targets: Work towards a monthly goal of qualifying 10–20 opportunities with a 15% lead-to-meeting conversion rate and a 40% qualified opportunity-to-sale conversion rate.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with marketing and account executives to optimize lead handoff and provide feedback on campaigns.
• Maintain CRM Hygiene: Update customer relationship management (CRM) tools accurately and in a timely manner.

It's a high-energy role, almost like your own “mini-business,” so there's plenty of opportunity to be creative and disciplined at the same time.

What We're Looking For:

Our ideal candidate is not defined by their qualifications or background, but by their abilities.

We want to work with individuals who have a special kind of drive, communication skills, empathy, and are looking for a role and career path that will reward them for it.

Qualifications That Are Advantageous, but Not Essential:

• Sales experience
• At least 1–2 years of customer-facing experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Drive to get more from your mahi
• University graduate (we're open to all disciplines)

Get in touch with us to discuss this role and others! You miss every shot you don't take, so apply and see how much more you can get from your work.

Note: Research has shown that underrepresented groups might feel the need to meet every listed criterion. However, if you believe you have the necessary skills and passion but don't match every point, please reach out. Everyone has unique strengths, and we value all potential contributions.
