The SDR works extremely closely with Mockingbird’s President in landing desirable legal clients for the agency.

Ideal Candidate

You have impeccable communication skills with an unmistakable passion for growing businesses through an honest and ethical consultative manner. You don’t sell at all costs and recommend alternatives when the prospect may not be a good fit for us. You thrive by networking and presenting effective marketing and advertising solutions to prospects. Status quo is never enough and you pursue opportunity and growth individually as well as for the entire team you work with. To describe you as an ambitious, organized, perfectionist would be an understatement. 

    • Tact –the difference between proactive and annoying is a fine line and different for every person. You adjust your style according to each individual.
    • Business Centric – marketing is an investment, not a cost. You understand the nuanced difference.  You might hold an undergraduate degree in econ or business.  
    • Experienced – Medium experience with SEO/PPC/Websites and/or the legal industry.
    • Communicator – Strong and professional communication skills – written, verbal, presentation
    • Thick Skin – also known as persistence – you’ll be dealing with the gatekeepers of busy attorneys who frankly hold search online marketing salespeople in very low regard.
    • Organized Perfectionist: Fastidiously organized, grammatically superlative and pedantically detail-oriented.
    • Impeccable Customer Skills: This is a personality trait that can be nurtured, but if the underlying mentality isn’t there it’s never going to happen. Great parents or experience selling shoes at Nordstrom may help.
    • Promotes a strong sense of urgency for reaching goals and key deliverables. Acts without being told what to do.
    • Strong desire to compete and win.
    • Diligently work within Nutshell, our CRM, to stay current on leads and follow-ups.
