Emmanuella Ikurusu

With over 4 years of hands-on experience as a Sales Development Representative (SDR), I help businesses grow by turning cold or lukewarm leads into warm, sales-ready opportunities. I have worked across multiple industries, from tech to healthcare to professional services, so I understand that sales isn’t just about volume, it’s about quality, timing, and communication that resonates.

As an SDR, my role is simple but powerful: I open doors for your sales team by starting the right conversations with the right prospects. I reach out through strategic outbound calls, emails, and follow-ups, often working from behind email opens, link clicks, or calendar activity. My goal is to quickly identify decision-makers, qualify their interest or need, and smoothly transition them to a booked appointment or sales call.

Over the years, I have developed a proven approach to booking meetings that convert. I use a balance of empathy, curiosity, and confidence to uncover pain points and offer a real reason to continue the conversation. Whether I’m handling 100+ outbound calls per day or responding to inbound inquiries, I stay focused on the bigger picture: pipeline growth, brand credibility, and helping your team close more deals.

• Increase qualified appointments: I specialize in turning leads into calendar bookings, consistently and with context, so your closers aren’t wasting time.

• Improve lead conversion rates: By asking the right questions early, I make sure the prospects I pass on are not just interested, but also a good fit.

• Support overloaded sales teams: I take the pressure off your closers so they can focus on selling, while I handle the top-of-funnel outreach and follow-up.

• Build a predictable pipeline: I bring consistency to your sales efforts. You know what to expect weekly, activity, booked meetings, and clean CRM updates.

• Keep communication sharp and professional: Whether I’m emailing, calling, or leaving voicemails, I represent your brand with clarity and care.

I’m experienced with tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Microsoft Suite, Zoom, CRM dialers, and scheduling tools, and I adapt quickly to any new system you’re using. I also take pride in maintaining clean records, reporting outcomes, and staying organized with task management tools like Trello, Notion, or ClickUp.

Most importantly, I care about results. I’m not here to just clock in and dial out. I show up with energy, curiosity, and a drive to connect your offer with the people who need it.

Whether you're a business owner, sales leader, or part of a growth-driven team, I can help you boost appointments, increase lead conversion, and strengthen relationships with your ideal prospects.
