Are you interested in discovering and exploring new business opportunities? Do you have solid phone and persuasion skills and want to break into the world of business-to-government technology sales? Do you want to help communities become safer and more connected through adopting new software and technologies? Tyler Technologies provides the opportunity to help government and schools create safer and smarter communities via industry-leading technology. Tyler is seeking a Business Development Representative to join our Sales Enablement team. In this role, you will act as a first point of contact for prospects by assisting with outbound prospecting, inbound lead qualification, and delivering on team targets through telemarketing and use of Tyler’s CRM system. The Business Development Representative develops client relationships, applies sales techniques to generate new sales leads, and provides sales groups with a pipeline of well-qualified leads. The majority of the Business Development Representative’s time will be spent conducting cold calls to potential prospects, following up on and further qualifying inbound leads, and developing prospecting account target lists.
