RightCapital - Join one of Connecticut's Top Ten Tech Startups!
RightCapital is an innovative financial tech startup providing a cutting edge holistic financial planning software. We were recently voted by The Daily Finance as one of Connecticut's Best Fintech companies! We started as a group of entrepreneurs working from a garage in Connecticut to now having the 3rd largest financial planning technology company in the US. We have seen tremendous growth within this space, and have our eyes squarely set on growing this company to the best it can be as we help financial advisors add value to their clients! We are currently taking the financial planning marketplace by force as we expand into new sales channels. Join us, and help facilitate our growth!
Come join our Sales Development Representative Team!
Every great financial plan starts with a single conversation. So does every great sales career.
At RightCapital, our SDRs are the first people financial advisors speak to on their journey to running a better practice. You're not just "setting appointments" — you're opening the door to software that thousands of advisors rank #1 in the industry. You're the front end of our revenue engine, and you'll have a team, a process, and a coaching system built to help you succeed from day one.
If you're motivated, coachable, and genuinely interested in building a career in sales, keep reading. This is a seat designed to set you up to win — not to figure it out on your own.
We're a no-ego, high-energy team that lives by four core values:
- We Innovate Together — we listen, brainstorm, and make things better every day.
- We Get Things Done — we roll up our sleeves, execute, and celebrate the wins.
- We Welcome Differences — different backgrounds and opinions make us stronger.
- We Appreciate Humor — we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Responsibilities
As an SDR, you own the top of the funnel and turn curiosity into qualified opportunity:
- Run a thoughtful outbound process — connect with financial advisors by phone and email using sharp, personalized outreach that earns the meeting. We'll give you the playbooks, templates, and messaging to start strong.
- Book quality demos — schedule sales demonstrations for our Sales Associates and hand off well-qualified opportunities.
- Own your pipeline — manage a balanced mix of warm marketing leads and outbound prospects in Salesforce, keeping everything clean and current.
- Make the team smarter — collaborate with the SDR team to sharpen our playbooks and strategy.
- Keep getting better — bring insights back from the field, test new messaging, and treat every "no" as a step toward the next "yes."
How we set you up to succeed:
We don't hand you a phone and wish you luck. New SDRs go through a structured onboarding and ramp program built to give you the product knowledge, industry context, and sales skills you need to do this well:
- A defined ramp period— with clear milestones, so you always know what "good" looks like and where you stand.
- Ongoing coaching — regular 1:1s, call reviews, and feedback from your manager and peers.
- A proven playbook — messaging, talk tracks, and process that works, so you're building on what's already succeeding (and helping us improve it).
- A modern sales tech stack — (Salesforce, Salesloft, and more) backed by strong marketing support and a steady flow of cold and warm leads.
- Learn from the best — work alongside a seasoned team of sales experts, trainers, and managers with deep industry experience
What success looks like
We believe in clear targets and transparent scoreboards, so you always know how you're doing. These are the expectations for a fully-ramped SDR (you'll build up to them during your ramp, not on week one):
- 25 demos completed per month (20 minimum).
- High-activity environment — thrive in a fast-paced role built on consistent, high-volume calling and emailing
These aren't hoops to jump through — they're the habits we see in our top performers, and we give you the coaching, tools, and team to reach them. As you ramp, we'll set interim goals together so the targets feel achievable, not overwhelming.
Your career starts here — and it can climb fast
The SDR seat at RightCapital is a launchpad. We promote from within, and your growth is part of the plan — backed by a defined promotion path with transparent criteria, so there's no guessing about what gets you to the next level. This role can be a meaningful first step into a long-term career at RightCapital. In the past two years, 6 of 7 Sales Associate openings were filled by internal candidates, with many promotions coming from the Sales Development team. SDRs have also moved into other growing teams across the organization, reflecting our strong focus on internal mobility and career development.
You'll thrive here if you...
- Are driven and consistent — you show up, put in focused effort, and see every conversation as a chance to improve.
- Are competitive and coachable — you care about results and you welcome feedback that helps you get there.
- Communicate with confidence — clear and compelling on the phone and in writing.
- Stay organized — you keep a busy pipeline clean and current.
- Are genuinely curious — about sales, technology, finance, and how great software changes people's lives.
Nice to have (but not required)
- 1–2 years in sales, a customer-facing role, or any goal-oriented role (internships count!)
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree preferred (e.g., Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Sports Management, Communications, Marketing, Public Relations, Liberal Arts, Psychology, Social Studies, or related).
- Experience with Salesforce, Salesloft, or other B2B/SaaS sales tools.

Sales Development Manager Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sales development manager in Connecticut?
Connecticut does not require a state-issued license or registration to work as a sales development manager, so the path runs through education and experience. Most hiring managers at Connecticut employers expect a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or communications, plus time spent as a sales development representative before moving into a management role. Completing a recognized sales methodology certification, such as Sandler or MEDDIC, can accelerate that transition at mid-size and enterprise employers in Hartford and Stamford.
How much do sales development managers make in Connecticut?
Sales development managers in Connecticut earn a median of about $162,110 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $92,530 for the lowest 10% to over $281,490 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire sales development managers in Connecticut?
Employers hiring sales development managers in Connecticut right now include Renuity, DoorDash, and Encon Heating & AC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Connecticut's concentration of insurance carriers, financial services firms, and enterprise software companies means ongoing demand for managers who can build and coach outbound prospecting teams.
Which Connecticut cities have the most sales development manager jobs?
Danbury, Stamford, and Manchester account for the largest share of sales development manager openings in Connecticut. Stamford's density of corporate headquarters and financial services firms drives consistent demand there, while Hartford anchors hiring in insurance and healthcare technology, and New Haven benefits from its proximity to biotech and professional services employers across the greater metro corridor.
Are there remote sales development manager jobs in Connecticut?
Yes, and more than many comparable management roles, because sales development work is largely phone and email based and does not require a physical presence. About 67% of sales development manager openings tied to Connecticut are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that trend across the sector. The outbound prospecting and team coaching functions of the role translate especially well to fully distributed or hybrid arrangements.
How can I get hired as a sales development manager in Connecticut with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is starting as a sales development representative at one of Connecticut's larger employers and building toward a team lead or manager title from within. Companies such as Cigna and Gartner regularly bring on junior SDRs and promote based on quota performance and mentorship of newer reps. Lateral moves from account coordinator, inside sales, or customer success roles are also common entry points. Earning a recognized sales certification and building a documented record of meeting outbound metrics are the credentials that carry most weight in Connecticut interviews.
Where can I find and apply to sales development manager jobs in Connecticut?
You can find and apply to sales development manager jobs in Connecticut on Migrate Mate, which lists current Connecticut openings updated regularly. Search for roles that match your experience level and target industry, then apply directly to the ones that fit. No signup or profile is required to view and apply to listings on the platform.
