Hiring · Business development

Hire a UK BDRto open markets you can't reach.

Business development reps are hired to create demand where none exists yet — new verticals, new regions, new partner channels. PrimeClosers gives you access to UK BDRs with genuine net-new experience, hired directly and managed through one platform.

When you need a BDR rather than an SDR

Hire an SDR when you already know who your buyer is and need more conversations with them. Hire a BDR when the question is still open: which vertical, which partner, which route to market. BDR work is slower, more strategic and judged on opportunities created and relationships opened, not raw dial counts.

Market entry
Testing a new vertical or region before you commit headcount to it.
Partnerships and channel
Opening reseller, referral and alliance conversations that produce compounding pipeline.
Strategic accounts
Multi-threading into larger organisations where one cold call never lands.
Proposition feedback
Reporting back what the market actually objects to, so the offer can be sharpened.

What to look for in a UK BDR

Research depth, written communication and comfort with a long feedback loop. A BDR who needs same-week wins to stay motivated will churn. Look for evidence of accounts opened from scratch, named partnerships signed, and a clear account-planning method — all things you can interrogate directly in-platform before you commit.

Hire, contract and pay in one place

Prime Employer covers the whole lifecycle: unlimited job posts and search to find the BDR, placement agreements to engage them, then invoicing and contractor payments so the commercial side is documented and auditable from day one.
