No one takes a call on day one. You don't have to know everything; you have to be willing to learn.

Two weeks of paid training

Every rep completes two weeks of extensive training before taking a call on the floor. That is 10 business days, paid, before your first call.

Certified on every client

Every rep is certified on a client, including AI role plays, before representing that client.

Coaching on real calls

Your manager coaches the floor every week and listens to your calls, so the feedback is about the call you just made.

Apply for internal roles after 90 days

Promotions are earned on performance, not handed out on a calendar.

A base salary increase after six months

High performers can earn one.

Abstrakt's founders have more than 35 years of experience in sales scripting. The sales process you learn is built on it.

"Abstrakt was only my second job after graduating from Mizzou, and I've been here for over 12 years. I started as an entry-level Sales Development Rep with no sales background and limited business experience. Today, I'm proud to serve as an Executive Vice President. This is the kind of place where hard work, curiosity, and drive can take you further than you ever imagined." Jessica Frye, Executive Vice President of Recruitment and Training

Exposed brick, a full sales floor and the Gateway Arch out the window, in downtown St. Louis.

Why we work in person

Our SDR role is office-based on purpose. A new rep learns faster sitting ten feet from someone who books meetings all day, and your manager can coach the call you just made. When someone gets a win, the floor knows about it and the light-up sabers come out. Flexibility is earned, not withheld. SDRs can earn remote work, Partner Account Managers earn more remote time as they hit their milestones, and we also hire remote SDRs in the Kansas City area.

Getting here

• Address: 701 N. 1st Street, St. Louis, MO 63102
• Parking: Free gated parking in the heart of St. Louis.
• Dress code: Business casual. Dress like a pro, feel like yourself.
• Interview visit: About 90 minutes on site: a tour, a shadow session and a mock role play.

Page 15 How We Hire

A general overview of the interview journey. Your recruiter will advise on specifics for your role and location. Interviewing is a two-way street, so bring your questions.

1. Application: First things first

Once you submit your application, our Talent Team will review it. If there's a match, we'll reach out to you to complete a phone screen.

2. Recruiter interview: Let's chat

During the phone screen, one of our recruiters will work to understand your background, motivations and career goals and, of course, discuss what it's like to be part of the Abstrakt team. Interviewing is a two-way street, so ask questions to make sure we're what you're looking for as well.

3. People Team interview: Greetings and meetings

Next, you'll have a virtual interview with a member of our People Team, who will ask about your experience, how you'd work together, and how you can bring new perspectives to the team.

4. Tour, shadow and practical: 1.5 hours on site

If we move forward, we'll invite you on site for a tour of our campus, a shadow session with a current team member, and a mock role-play session.

5. Reference check: Two references

After your on-site visit, we'll ask for contact information for two references we can reach out to about your prior experience.

6. Email assessment: A last practical step

We'll send you two sample partner email prompts and ask you to respond as you would if they came from a real Abstrakt partner.

7. Offer and onboarding: Welcome to the team

If it's a match on both ends, your recruiter will reach out with the best part: your offer. If you accept, we'll kick off preboarding to get you ready for day one, and our training team will be there at each step so you feel ready to start making an impact.
