Business Development Sales

Are you a smart, friendly, persistent, and self-driven salesperson who thrives on opening doors and turning curiosity into real conversations?

We’re looking for a Business Development Salesperson with a strong ability to prospect and connect with small to mid-size businesses—especially those without in-house marketing support. You’ll be the first point of contact, helping potential clients understand how our creative and marketing services can solve real business challenges.

Your role is to identify opportunity, spark interest, and secure meetings with key decision makers. From there, you will collaborate with agency leadership in presenting our capabilities, helping guide prospects through how our services align with their needs and goals.

As relationships develop, you will remain involved beyond the initial meeting—checking in with clients, fostering ongoing connections, and helping identify additional opportunities over time. This role is not just about opening doors, but about building lasting relationships that contribute to long‑term client success and continued growth for the agency.

What You’ll Do

Proactively identify and research qualified small to mid-size business prospects

Conduct outreach through calls, email, LinkedIn, and other channels

Engage decision makers and uncover opportunities through thoughtful conversation

Set qualified introductory meetings for agency leadership

Participate in capability presentations alongside leadership

Maintain ongoing relationships with clients after initial engagement

Identify opportunities for additional projects or expanded services over time

Collaborate with internal team to refine messaging and targeting strategies

Maintain detailed records of outreach activity and pipeline progress

Follow up consistently to build familiarity and trust with prospects and clients

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience in outbound sales, business development, or similar role

Strong communication skills, both written and verbal

Comfortable initiating conversations and navigating organizations

Self‑motivated, persistent, and organized in your approach

Able to handle rejection and stay focused on long‑term success

Relationship‑oriented mindset with an interest in long‑term client engagement

Familiarity with marketing or creative services is a plus

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience selling or prospecting for a marketing agency or service‑based business

A track record of turning cold outreach into qualified opportunities

Compensation

Base salary plus residual commission on all projects and contracts generated from the meetings you book

Long‑term earning potential tied to the ongoing value of the clients you help bring in

Health & Retirement Benefits as well as PTO
