The Role: Sales Development Representative

We’ve got an incredible product and more inbound leads than we can handle—400+ every single day. That’s where you come in.

As an SDR, you’ll be the first point of contact for aspiring authors who’ve opted into our resources. Your job? Learn their story, understand their goals, and set up meaningful consults with our Publishing Strategists to guide them forward.

In addition to your day-to-day outreach, you’ll also represent selfpublishing.com at live events—traveling to 2–4 events per month to connect with attendees, share our mission from stage, and introduce new aspiring authors to our programs.

If you love speaking to large audiences, enjoy traveling, and get energized by being the face of a powerful brand—this role is for you.

(Brownie points if you’ve spoken at live events before!)

This is a high-impact, high-growth role where your hustle = real results.
