Blinq Inc. is seeking a dynamic and proactive Field Sales Development Representative (SDR) to be the face of our brand at pivotal industry events. This is a unique opportunity to pioneer our real-world connection strategy, directly impacting our pipeline and brand presence.
• • As the inaugural Field SDR, you will be instrumental in shaping how Blinq engages with potential clients and partners in person. You will own the entire event lifecycle, from meticulous planning and targeted outreach to dynamic on-site engagement and diligent post-event follow-up. Your mission is to ensure that every interaction at an event translates into tangible business opportunities, solidifying Blinq's reputation as a leader in professional networking solutions.
• • Your responsibilities will span the critical phases of event-based lead generation. This includes comprehensive event ownership, where you will meticulously plan and execute every facet of Blinq's presence. This means managing logistics, ensuring a seamless and on-brand attendee experience, and coordinating with internal teams to maximize impact. You will be responsible for pre-event targeting, conducting in-depth research to identify and engage high-potential prospects before the event even begins. This proactive approach ensures you arrive at events with a curated list of valuable connections to pursue.
• • During events, your primary focus will be in-person lead generation. You will actively prospect, engage attendees, qualify leads on the spot, and deliver compelling pitches to capture interest. Your ability to read the room, adapt your approach, and move conversations forward in a live, unscripted environment will be crucial. The goal is to transform initial hellos into qualified pipeline opportunities, setting the stage for future sales engagement.
• • Post-event, your role continues as you drive the crucial follow-up process. This involves nurturing newly acquired leads, scheduling subsequent meetings, and meticulously reporting on your performance. Your insights will be invaluable in refining our event strategies, ensuring continuous improvement and maximizing the ROI of our event participation. You will also collaborate closely with our sales, marketing, and brand teams to ensure alignment on goals, messaging, and overall strategy, creating a cohesive and powerful brand experience.
• • Blinq is at an exciting inflection point. We've built the world's number one digital business card, boasting over 100,000 reviews and a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store.

• • This role offers a rare opportunity to join a company that is both established enough to have significant momentum and agile enough for you to make a substantial impact. You'll be part of a team that values real connections, both professionally and personally. While we embrace flexible work arrangements, we believe in the power of in-person collaboration. Our offices are hubs of creativity and problem-solving, where fresh ideas flourish. We encourage three days a week of in-office collaboration to foster teamwork and innovation, with the remaining days offering flexibility for focused work.
• • The Growth team at Blinq is where sales, marketing, and growth strategy converge to amplify our reach. We are passionate about bringing our story to life for customers, partners, and the wider market, demonstrating how a simple digital card share can initiate enduring professional relationships. If you are driven by the prospect of connecting impactful ideas with the people who need them most, this is the perfect environment for you to excel and shape the future of professional connection.
• • Your success in this role will be measured by your ability to generate high-quality leads, build a robust pipeline through event engagement, and contribute to Blinq's overall market presence.
