The M&A Sales Development Representative is a strategic growth role at Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS), focused on identifying and engaging potential acquisition targets. Unlike traditional sales, this role centers on building high-level relationships with IT business owners and industry brokers to discuss the future of their organizations. Your primary goal is to act as a professional ambassador for ITS, initiating conversations that lead to successful mergers or acquisitions. The ideal candidate is a disciplined, remote-first professional who values meaningful engagement over scripted outreach and can communicate with executive-level presence.
Initiate and maintain high-volume outreach to achieve a minimum of 40 quality conversations per day with business owners and decision-makers.

Communicate the ITS value proposition as a strategic partner, focusing on how companies can join or merge with us to enhance their cybersecurity and operational scale.
Vet potential acquisition targets based on core criteria, including headcount, existing IT infrastructure, and their openness to strategic transition.
Execute personalized "Smart Outreach" strategies (deep research and tailored follow-ups) specifically for 2nd First Time Appointments (FTAs) to ensure high-quality deal flow.
Navigate common industry pushback by shifting the focus from "selling a service" to "exploring a strategic partnership or exit strategy."
Manage the hand-off of qualified leads to the M&A Director, ensuring the relationship remains warm until the discovery meeting actually takes place.
Maintain meticulous records in HubSpot, capturing business intelligence and conversation history to support the long-term M&A pipeline.
Comfortable engaging directly with business owners, CEOs, and seasoned business brokers.

Exceptional verbal and written English, with the ability to explain complex concepts (like M&A or Cybersecurity) in a clear, relatable way.
A fast learner who can quickly become comfortable with MSP terminology and basic financial concepts (e.g., EBITDA, recurring revenue).
Hands-on experience using HubSpot for CRM and ZoomInfo for lead intelligence, or similar tools, is a must.
A team player who aligns with ITS Core Values.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) or Cybersecurity industry.
