About Practice by Numbers


Practice by Numbers (PbN) is a dental practice growth platform. We help dental practices turn their data into action — combining analytics, patient communications, and AI-powered tools that work alongside the systems practices already run on, including Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental.


The Role


We’re building our outbound sales development engine in-house, and you’ll build it from the ground up. This is a founding leadership role: first you stand up the system — process, tooling, lists, scripts, and targets — then you hire, ramp, and coach a pod of 4–5 SDRs who book qualified demos for our Account Executive team. Expect to be a player-coach early: carrying outreach and building pipeline yourself while you put the foundation in place.

The program is deliberately sequenced — process and infrastructure first, people second — and reps are given a real ramp window to build pipeline before they’re held to full delivery. You’ll own that plan end to end and report into the Marketing Director.


What You’ll Do


  • Stand up the program. Define the ICP and segments, build the first target-account lists, and set up HubSpot — pipeline, properties, dispositions, and sequences.
  • Build the toolkit. Stand up the dialer, email, and Facebook/LinkedIn outreach stack and data sources; write the scripts, cadences, and objection playbook.
  • Design the operating model. Set KPI targets and the weekly R/Y/G scorecard, design the comp plan, and agree the AE handoff SLA and qualification (SQL) definition.
  • Hire and ramp the team. Recruit, onboard, certify, and ramp 4–5 SDRs against a phased plan.
  • Run the rhythm. Lead daily standups, weekly pipeline reviews, coaching 1:1s, and call reviews / objection clinics.
  • Own the numbers. Drive activity and conversion across the funnel; keep HubSpot the single source of truth with a weekly hygiene audit.
  • Manage performance. Use the traffic-light framework to coach, recognize, and address performance fairly and on the numbers.
  • Partner across the org. Work with Marketing on lists, content, and messaging, and with AEs on qualification and win/loss.
  • Report up. Deliver a daily activity digest, a weekly scorecard, and a monthly business review to the Marketing Director.


What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

Timeframe
Focus
What “done” looks like
Weeks 1–3 (Foundation & infrastructure): Tech stack live; ICP & lists loaded; sequences tested; scripts & comp approved; AE handoff SLA agreed

What You’ll Need


  • 5+ years in sales development, including 2+ years managing or leading SDRs.
  • Experience selling into the US market.
  • B2B SaaS background; healthcare or dental experience is a strong plus.
  • Track record building or scaling an outbound team from an early stage — comfortable as a player-coach at the start.
  • HubSpot fluency; data-driven, and you run a team from the scorecard.
  • Strong coaching, hiring, and communication skills.


Bonus Points


  • Dental / healthcare or practice-software experience.
  • Multi-channel outbound (phone + email + social) at scale.

The KPIs You’ll Own


Total demos held by the team, SDR-sourced pipeline and closed-won, cost per demo / per opportunity, funnel conversion (connect rate, pitch-to-demo, show rate), and pipeline coverage against the sales target.
