Purple Pig Marketing is a growing digital marketing agency that helps home service businesses (landscapers, painters, remodelers, epoxy floor, closet, etc) and professional service companies (CPA, manufacturing, medical) generate more leads through SEO, Google Ads, website design, and online marketing. We believe in building long-term relationships and becoming a trusted marketing partner for our clients.

We are looking for a relationship-driven Community-Based Business Development Representative to expand our presence in the local market. This role focuses on networking, building partnerships, and generating new business opportunities within the niche we serve.

Success in this position comes from building trust, creating relationships, and becoming a known resource within the local community.

Key Responsibilities

• Attend local networking events, trade groups, and industry meetups
• Build relationships with  business owners and referral partners
• Develop partnerships with complementary businesses (contractors, CPAs, IT Companies, etc.)
• Generate new business opportunities through community engagement
• Set and attend discovery meetings with prospective clients (cold calling, door knocking, cold email outreach)
• Maintain consistent follow-up with prospects and partners
• Capture photos and short videos from networking events to help showcase our community involvement.
• Maintain CRM records and sales pipeline.
• Track follow-up activities and opportunities.
• Daily local travel throughout the Fox Valley and surrounding Chicagoland communities.

Target Market Focus

You will primarily work with companies that service homeowners inside and outside a home (landscapers, painters, remodelers, epoxy floor, closet, etc). We also service professional service (CPA, manufacturing, medical).
