We are hiring for our client, a recognized leader in direct sales and marketing that proudly represents trusted brands across the Chicagoland Area. Their success is driven by a dynamic team, creative strategy, and a commitment to delivering measurable results.

As their organization continues to expand, they are seeking an ambitious and driven Business Development Associate to help grow their customer base and support long-term client success. If you’re looking for a high-energy environment with real opportunities for advancement, this could be the perfect fit.

  • Share insights and strategies with peers to improve overall performance
  • Identify new business opportunities through proactive outreach and networking
  • Maintain relationships with both prospective and current customers
  • Report field feedback and trends to help refine sales strategies

What We're Looking For

  • 1 year of experience in sales, customer service, or business development (preferred)
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Motivated, self-starting, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team
  • Goal-oriented mindset with a strong competitive drive
  • Positive and professional approach to customer interactions and challenges

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Fast-paced, growth-focused environment
  • Structured training and mentorship from day one
  • Clear advancement path into leadership roles
  • Supportive team culture that values collaboration and celebrates wins
  • Weekly pay with bonus potential based on performance
