BBSI BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER | SALEM, OREGON! Are You a Hunter? A Relationship Builder? A Small Business Advocate?

If you love being out in the field, finding opportunities, opening doors and turning conversations into business, this could be your next great opportunity.

BBSI is looking for a Business Development Manager to cover Salem, Oregon and surrounding communities.

Our focus is simple: help small business owners build stronger businesses.

We provide HR, payroll, risk management, insurance and recruiting solutions that allow business owners to spend less time dealing with the headaches of running a company and more time growing it.

THIS IS A TRUE HUNTER ROLE.

We want someone who enjoys the chase.

Someone who is comfortable:

  • Walking into a business and introducing themselves
  • Calling on small business owners throughout the Salem area
  • Building relationships from scratch
  • Prospecting, networking and asking for the business
  • Creating referral partnerships in the local business community
  • Finding the right prospects and turning them into long-term clients
  • Getting out of the office and making things happen

You’ll spend approximately 85% of your time in the field, meeting business owners, networking and developing new opportunities.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Generate and close new business
  • Develop 20–30 strong referral partnerships
  • Conduct 5 business development meetings each week
  • Build a consistent pipeline of qualified prospects
  • Consult with business owners to understand their challenges
  • Present BBSI’s solutions and demonstrate the value we bring
  • Partner with the local BBSI team to close and onboard new clients
  • Target and acquire approximately 2–3 new clients per month once fully ramped
  • Become a well-known and trusted resource in the Salem business community

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You’re a hunter with an entrepreneurial mindset.

You don’t wait for the phone to ring—you make the calls.

You don’t wait for leads—you go find them.

You enjoy meeting new people, building relationships and turning a cold conversation into a warm opportunity.

If you have experience selling PEO, payroll, HR services, commercial insurance, workers’ compensation or other relationship-driven B2B services, we want to meet you.

3 years of proven sales success and a track record of being a top performer required.

WHY BBSI?

You’ll have the stability of a publicly traded, growing company while working in a local, entrepreneurial, relationship-driven environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Hunt. Build. Sell. Partner. Grow.

Most importantly, you’ll help small business owners succeed while building your own book of business and your career.

If Salem is your market and selling is your game, we want to talk to you.
