Role Description The Business Development Representative (BDR) is a high-energy, revenue-focused member of the sales team responsible for creating opportunities, building relationships, and driving product sales from conversation to close. This role combines fast response to inbound leads with proactive outbound outreach to prospective and existing customers. The BDR will focus primarily on selling QuickBooks and Intuit products, while also identifying opportunities for related solutions and services that support the client’s accounting, financial, and operational needs.
