The Role
As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will play a critical role in generating new business opportunities and pipeline for Kenko by identifying, engaging, and qualifying potential customers—many of whom may not be actively searching for a solution. You’ll focus on small and mid-sized wellness studios (e.g. pilates, yoga, dance & pole, cycle, & boutique gyms) driving outbound sales through phone calls, emails, and social media. You’ll create demand where none exists by connecting with business owners, building interest, and setting qualified meetings for our Account Executives. You’ll also drive referrals, engage local partners, and attend or host events in your community to kickstart the flywheel and grow Kenko’s brand awareness in your territory.
If you're passionate about fitness, sales and energized by building something from the ground up, this role is for you. This is a foundational role with opportunities to grow into Account Executive or team leadership positions as we scale.

Connect with prospects: Research and break into cold accounts using a creative mix of outreach—cold calls, personalized emails, social media (e.g., Instagram, Facebook), referrals and on-site visits.
Qualify and prioritize leads: Understand each prospect’s business, needs, pains, timeline and decision-making process to determine fit
Schedule high-quality demos: Set up meetings between qualified prospects and Account Executives, confirmation process and ensuring smooth handoffs

Maintain Data Hygiene: Keep accurate records of outreach, lead status, and interactions in Hubspot.

Fitness Enthusiast: Experience working in a fitness studio and understanding of studio software (bonus if you’ve used Mindbody, Wellnessliving, Marianatek, Arketa, Walla or Momence).
Sales Talent: A self-starter mindset with the drive to create your own momentum using phone, email, social and creative outreach
