Business Sales Executive
to join the business sales team to generate new business through outbound sales. This is a high-impact role focused on prospecting, relationship-building, and creating custom solutions for Kansas businesses. You’ll work closely with our internal teams, adapt to shifting goals, and own your pipeline from first contact to close.

Prospect and self-generate leads through cold calling, drop-ins, and creative outreach
Meet with business owners and decision-makers in the field—80%+ of time will be outside the office

Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure a smooth customer experience

Proven ability to build relationships through cold outreach
