Job Description
**Your Career**

Being a Business Development Representative (BDR) is challenging but equally extremely rewarding. As a BDR, you will have the opportunity to be a key contributor to PAN’s sales pipeline and revenue growth through lead qualification

We are out to fulfill our company mission with the strongest products in the industry. Being a BDR means handling rejection well, but persevering, regardless. It means cold-calling, selling, and pitching our products to people who are under tremendous pressure to secure their digital environments. And it means sticking with it with a level of tenacity defined only by your commitment to seeing a sale through.

To fit in this role, you are personable, willing to ask questions, always learning, have a strong work ethic, are persistent, and coachable. You are confident in who you are and able to enjoy the personable interactions that come with a job in sales. Becoming a part of the team means you will be surrounded by amazing, smart and hardworking teammates and that’s a great place to be. Plus, the added bonus of changing the world? Now that's just icing on the cake.

The Academy

The BDR Academy is a 12-month development program to arm newly graduated BDR’s with Sales skills such as prospecting, lead generation, business etiquette, etc. The BDR Academy is designed to develop our early in career BDR’s into experienced sales professionals with the knowledge, skills and development needed to excel in their careers and create a sense of community & belonging.

Skills you will learn along the way include:

- Effectively articulate the technical & business values of all Palo Alto Networks solutions
- Skill focused training to include prospecting, presentation & whiteboard skills, account planning, forecasting, quoting, financial acumen, negotiation and value selling
- Bring in newly graduated, top talent into the company
- Please note that for this position, we have locations in Santa Clara, CA, Plano, TX and Reston, VA

Our sales team members work hand-in-hand with large organizations around the world to keep their digital environments protected. We educate, inspire, and empower our potential clients in their journey to security.

As part of our sales team, you are empowered with unmatched systems and tools, constantly updated research and sales libraries, and a team built on joint success. You won’t find someone at Palo Alto Networks that isn’t committed to your success - with everyone pitching in to assist when it comes to solutions selling, learning, and development. As a member of our sales team, you are motivated by a solutions-focused sales environment and find fulfillment in working with clients to resolve incredibly complex cyberthreats.
