We're looking for a Business Development Representative to pick up the phone, get those conversations going with potential clients, and hand our Account Executives meetings they're glad to take.
What You'll Do
- Make outbound calls each week to dormant and untapped distributor accounts.
- Ask the kind of questions that surface a real business need: a project, a timeline, a supplier who's letting them down, or a gap we can fill. No reading from a script.
- Qualify each opportunity (need, timeline, decision-maker) before you book it.
- Book qualified meetings every week for our Account Executives.
- Write a short handoff brief for every meeting so the AE walks in already knowing the story.
- Log every call and next step in our CRM as you go.
- Share what you learn about which accounts respond and which don't, so the list keeps getting better.
What you bring
- 1 years of phone prospecting, appointment setting, or inside sales experience; B2B strongly preferred.
- The energy to carry a high call volume and bounce back from "no" on the next dial.
- Curiosity. You listen more than you pitch.
- Disciplined CRM habits. If it isn't logged, it didn't happen.
- Coachability and an appetite for regular feedback on your calls.
- Promotional products, channel sales, or distributor experience is a plus, not a requirement.
- You're based in or near Philadelphia and are comfortable with a hybrid in-office schedule.
- $50,000 base salary plus $30,000 target variable, for an $80,000 on-target income.
- This role is hybrid, based out of our Philadelphia, PA office. We work 3 days in-office and 2 days remote, with flexibility being key.
Salary : $30,000 - $50,000
