The term "Sales Development Team" refers to a group of individuals within an organization whose primary responsibility is to generate new business opportunities and nurture them through the sales funnel. This typically involves prospecting, qualifying leads, conducting initial meetings or calls with potential customers, and ultimately handing off qualified leads to the sales team for closing. The goal of a Sales Development Team is to identify and engage potential clients early in their buying journey, providing valuable information that helps them make informed decisions about products or services that can solve their problems or fulfill their needs.
