Description
**Zelh is a fast\-growing, passionate outsourcing company.**
Our mission is to be the most reliable company by offering and maintaining high\-quality services consistently.
We achieve the mission by fostering long\-term relationships with customers, employees, and vendors. Personal attention, timely communication, and respect for all people are the basis of our business philosophy!
This is a true **outbound hunter role** inside a US freight brokerage environment. A high\-volume outbound Business Development Representative would be responsible for cold\-calling US shippers and booking qualified sales meetings with Director and VP\-level transportation decision\-makers for a US freight brokerage team.
We are hiring someone whose sole responsibility is to **open doors with US shippers and book qualified meetings for our senior sales team**. These meetings turn into freight opportunities \- but your job ends at the meeting stage.
This is not an account management role.
This is not a quoting role.
This is not operations or logistics support.
This is a **high\-activity, phone\-heavy, cold outreach sales role** focused entirely on generating pipeline.
You will be speaking daily with US transportation executives \- Directors and VPs \- and your ability to sound credible, confident, and structured on the phone will directly determine success.
#### **What You’ll Do:**
* Conduct **80\+ outbound calls daily** to US shippers
* Execute structured cold outreach campaigns across phone, email, and LinkedIn
* Engage decision\-makers at Director and VP level in transportation and supply chain
* Book qualified discovery meetings for senior sales executives
* Maintain disciplined CRM activity tracking and pipeline hygiene
* Follow structured outreach cadences with persistence across multiple touchpoints
* Handle objections professionally without losing momentum or tone
* Identify correct decision\-makers within complex transportation org structures
* Write clear, professional follow\-up emails with strong business English
* Collaborate with internal team on messaging, targeting, and prospect prioritization
* Continuously improve outreach effectiveness based on response data and feedback
* 2\+ years of **true outbound B2B sales experience**
+ BDR / SDR / cold\-calling / freight sales development roles only
+ Inbound\-only or warm lead qualification experience does NOT qualify
* Demonstrated ability to sustain **high daily activity volume (80\+ calls/day typical)**
* Fluent business English (spoken \+ written)
+ Must sound credible to US VP\-level transportation executives
+ Clear, structured, professional communication is non\-negotiable
* Strong resilience in high\-rejection environments
* Ability to remain composed and confident on live cold calls
* Understanding of basic sales pipeline logic and CRM discipline
**The strongest BDRs in this role:**
* Treat prospecting as a daily discipline, not a mood
* Maintain consistency even after rejection or silence
* Sound confident, structured, and relevant within the first 15 seconds of a call
* Open conversations with insight, not generic pitches
* Understand transportation org charts and decision\-making hierarchy
* Know when they are speaking to a gatekeeper vs. a decision\-maker
* Focus on **booking meetings, not selling freight**
* Follow up multiple times across long sales cycles without losing tone or professionalism
* Research accounts before calling (market, footprint, business signals, leadership changes)
* Show strong internal accountability for activity and outcomes
**Your success will be measured by:**
* Number of **qualified meetings booked per week**
* Daily outbound activity volume (calls, emails, LinkedIn touches)
* Meeting show rate
* Meeting\-to\-opportunity conversion rate (tracked by senior sales team)
You will be expected to maintain high daily activity consistency — this is a **volume \+ discipline\-driven role**, not a passive lead nurturing position.
**Working conditions:**
* Work schedule: Monday\-Friday, 7 am \- 5 pm CST
* A supportive team
* Competitive Salary in USD
* Remote eligibility
* 10\+ business days of paid time off
* Equipment provided
Join our team and become a **front door of the sales engine**. Strong BDRs here become future Account Executives, Sales Managers, or Top\-tier Freight Brokers \- this is a high\-visibility role with a real opportunity to grow into senior commercial and leadership positions within the organization.
