Job Overview We’re looking for an experienced Business Development Associate to join our sales team!
The ideal candidate is Type A, energetic, confident, a self-starter, and willing to get his/her hands dirty.
At a minimum, you should have a background in business development/sales and high-volume relationship management at other SaaS companies or marketing agencies.
But there’s something more important than any of that…
Let’s be clear this isn’t a role for everyone.
You’ll face rejections daily.
You’ll have to think outside-of-the-box to get the attention of prospects who’s seen the same cold emails 50 times earlier that morning.
You’ll have to unafraid to fail, and despite the numerous setbacks, still do whatever it takes to get sh*t done and close the deal.
Of course, for all the hard work and dedication we expect from you, we’ll reward you accordingly.
You’ll have a clear path for advancement, performance/commission-based bonuses, and company-wide incentives for success.
Bluntly, the entire company relies on you to be successful at your job.
But that means you have to be tenacious and possess some serious grit.
If that sounds like you, then read on…
