The Business Development Representative II role is for someone who has already learned the fundamentals of outbound and is ready to work in a territory with real ownership
This is a quality-first team. We care more about your conversation-to-meeting conversion and the durability of the pipeline you create than about your raw dial count. You will be measured at the meetings that get accepted and progress, not on activity for its own sake
The role is also a genuine step on a path. BDR IIs at Medius are the pool we promote from into Senior BDR, Account Executive, and Business Development Manager roles, and we will tell you plainly what must be true for you to get there
Own a defined book of named of mid-market or enterprise accounts within an assigned segment, industry, or region, and build a working plan for how you will penetrate it
Research target accounts using ZoomInfo, Cognism, 6sense, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and public sources to build a hypothesis of need before you make contact
Prioritize accounts by fit and intent rather than working the list top to bottom and be able to explain your prioritization
Maintain a live view of your territory who you have engaged, what you learned, when to go again so nothing worth pursuing goes cold by accident.
Generate qualified pipeline
Run multi-channel outbound across phone, email, LinkedIn, and video to Controllers, AP Directors and Managers, Accounting leaders, and IT decision-makers
Personalize outreach around a real business reason an ERP migration, an acquisition, an open AP headcount, a stated working-capital target not around surface-level detail
Hold credible discovery conversations with finance leaders: understand how they buy and pay today, where the process breaks, and what it is costing them
Handle objections around timing, budget, incumbent tools, and recent ERP change without pitching past the prospect
Qualifying against our criteria and converting qualified leads into opportunities, with notes complete enough that the AE can walk into the meeting prepared
Respond to inbound MQLs within our service level and qualify them with the same rigour applied to outbound
Work as a genuine partner to your aligned AEs joint account planning, agreed target lists, and a shared definition of what qualified means
Run clean handoffs: confirmed time, confirmed attendees, agreed agenda, and context transferred before the call
Take feedback on meeting quality directly and act on it and give feedback back where the handoff is not working
Follow up on meetings that did not convert and keep those accounts in a deliberate nurture rather than dropping them
Keep Salesforce accurate and current accounts, contacts, activity, disposition reasons, and next steps. Pipeline decisions get made on this data
Build and manage sequences in Outreach and adapt them based on what your own results tell you rather than running them unchanged
Track your own conversion metrics through the funnel and come to your one-to-one able to say where the drop-off is and what you are testing
Use AI tools in your workflow with judgment as a drafting and research accelerator you edit, not as a send-button
