"Business Development Representative" has not historically equated to an SDR or Telemarketing type of role. BDR is often another name for Account Executive or similar front line sales role.

What does the job description says, titles can be weird sometimes. It might be like a smb inside sales role where its transactional with a one call close.

Sounds like it's a hybrid role with the "BDR" title because they didn't know what else to call it. I'm in a similar role.

I'm on a "BDR Team," but my focus is traveling to target accounts in person, going to conferences/leading focus groups, setting meetings, and working with our in-office sales reps to close deals.

Sounds cool, no quota or closing?

A BDR is a BDR at any company and that was the title and the below is the role or the title description:
A business development representative (BDR) is responsible for generating new business opportunities by qualifying leads and prospecting through existing business accounts to engage with potential buyers.
Good luck.

I would clarify with the recruiter - generally, BDR helps qualify the leads and set up meetings for Account Executives (AEs) who is responsible for closing the deals.
