Sales Development Program

About the Role

As part of AT&T’s Business Sales Development Program (SDP), you’ll participate in a new-hire development program designed to prepare you for a full-time Mid-Market territory sales role. You’ll begin with two months of immersive training and onboarding at our Dallas Headquarters focused on sales fundamentals, product knowledge, business acumen, and real customer engagement. You’ll then continue your development in the city/market you applied for before officially starting your full-time sales role there. In that market, you’ll take on an acquisition-focused position connecting with new customers, uncovering business needs, and creating opportunities for AT&T solutions.

Responsibilities

• Focus on acquiring new customers by identifying, qualifying, and engaging prospects through cold calls, emails, digital outreach, and in-person customer visits.
• Own the full sales process for new business opportunities, from cold outreach and prospecting to customer conversations, proposals, and closing the deal.
• Ramp up through a new-hire program focused on AT&T product and systems knowledge, hands-on coaching, customer engagement, and real-time practice while building the activity habits and sales discipline needed to meet activity and sales performance metrics during the program and in your full-time acquisition sales role.

Qualifications

• Four-year bachelor’s degree required.
• Valid driver’s license required due to the outside sales nature of the role.
• A desire to launch a career in B2B sales.

Skills

• Drive to achieve, with motivation to meet goals and grow through performance.
• Confidence building relationships, with the ability to start conversations and earn trust with new customers.
• Resilience in a sales environment, ready to handle rejection, learn from feedback, and keep moving forward.
• Curiosity and coachability, open to learning AT&T products, systems, tools, and sales best practices.
• Ownership mindset, with the discipline to manage daily activity, follow through, and take charge of your development.
• Interest in B2B sales, with a desire to build a career helping businesses find the right technology solutions.

Program Highlights

• Sales Development Program is designed to set you up for success—and reward your hard work every step of the way.
• Housing Stipend: Receive a $4,000 stipend during the 4-month program to support you while you focus on learning and growth.
• Relocation Bonuses: Potential relocation bonuses may be available in certain circumstances to assist with your move.
• Placement & Career Opportunities: Upon program completion, you’ll be placed in an outside sales role within AT&T Business, aligned with your geographic preference whenever possible. Final placement depends on market availability.
