What attracted you to SciLeads, and what keeps you here?
What keeps me here is an amazing and supportive team, and the opportunity to continuously develop as a sales professional. Working with such great people every day is both motivating and rewarding. Also, the work-life balance is amazing.
How did you find the interview process at SciLeads?
Having gone through several other interview processes, I found the process at SciLeads to be smooth and fully transparent throughout. I received great feedback very quickly, and I always felt like I was in the loop, with questions welcome at any stage.
How has the Sales Development Pathway supported your growth and development?
As I was coming into the role straight from University with little to no sales experience, the comprehensive training plan in the first 3 weeks has been fundamental to my development at SciLeads so far. The training is well-paced, introducing you to the product and industry, which transitions into learning and practicing the day-to-day responsibilities. The learning doesn’t stop there; I have constant support and guidance from my managers, which always makes me feel that there is a clear direction of progression.
What do you enjoy the most about your role as a Senior Sales Development Representative?
I find it rewarding to see the direct impact of my work in the role. Knowing that opportunities I generate contribute to the company’s growth and help customers find solutions which fit their needs is highly motivating. As the role is fully remote, I always enjoy the 10am and 3pm stand-ups with my team; it is a great opportunity to catch up with everyone and have a laugh!
How have SciLeads’ flexible working culture and benefits supported you, and is there a particular benefit or perk you’ve valued most?
There is a high level of trust and autonomy from day 1, which allows me to manage my workload effectively whilst also giving me time to squeeze in a gym session or a run at lunch. It creates an environment where I can stay focused, perform at my best and still have the flexibility to take care of my health. It’s a culture that supports both productivity and wellbeing, and it’s one of the things I’ve valued most since joining SciLeads.
What advice would you give to someone considering a role at SciLeads, especially in Sales Development?
Always stay grounded! I have learnt that sales is full of ups and downs, and what sets people apart is being resilient and consistently showing up through difficult periods as well as when things are going well. Come in with a willingness to learn, stay curious, and be open to feedback, as there is no such thing as a bad question! Everyone is happy to share their knowledge, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop your skills.
