Sales Development Representative | $30-$42/hr Remote
Overview
This remote contract role with micro1 puts your B2B sales expertise to work on a customer project centered on lead generation and growth. You will use your real-world prospecting instincts to help train next-generation AI systems. No prior AI experience is needed. What matters is your track record in cold calling, consultative selling, and high-volume outbound work. Your input teaches models how to handle actual sales interactions.
What You'll Do7
- 1Run outbound prospecting across cold calls, email, and social channels to grow a B2B lead pipeline.
- 2Research target industries and verticals to spot, qualify, and prioritize promising opportunities.

Who Should Apply
The strongest fit is a B2B sales development professional with five or more years of outbound prospecting under their belt, including cold calls and consultative work inside complex sales cycles. You should be comfortable tracking your own activity in a CRM and turning that data into outreach decisions. Closers who want to own deals through the final signature will find this role a mismatch, since the scope is pipeline building and AI training support. Candidates often wash out when they lack recent hands-on prospecting examples or when their stories do not include concrete numbers like dials, meetings set, or pipeline value. Another red flag is treating CRM updates as an afterthought, which matters here because your documented interactions feed the AI training loop.
Salary Insight
The rate for this contract is $30 to $42 per hour. The final figure depends on your relevant experience and the specific scope of the customer project. Your recruiter will share exact numbers during the selection conversation.

Application Tip
In your pitch, quantify a recent outbound effort with metrics like calls per day, qualified meetings per week, or opportunities created. Then show how you used CRM data to adjust your approach. That kind of evidence signals you can handle both the B2B sales work and the data-driven AI training component.
