If you’re a self-motivated leader who excels at building relationships and driving revenue, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

 

Responsibilities:

  • Lead new business development efforts through a combination of inbound and outbound strategies, including cold calling, cold emailing, and other proactive outreach methods to generate leads and build relationships.
  • Manage the full sales cycle, from initial outreach and discovery to contract negotiation and closing, ensuring a smooth transition to internal teams for execution.
  • Track and report on sales activity and performance metrics, including outreach numbers, pipeline progress, conversion rates, and revenue forecasts, with weekly reporting expectations and clear monthly/quarterly sales targets.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, understanding their business goals and providing tailored digital solutions that drive long-term success.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless project transitions and maintain a high level of client satisfaction.
  • Consistently meet or exceed sales quotas by executing a strategic and disciplined approach to prospecting, follow-ups, and deal closures.

Qualifications:

  • 1-3 years of experience in business development or sales, preferably in digital marketing, web development, or related fields.
  • Proven track record of success in full-cycle sales and building client relationships.
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to present complex solutions simply.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote or hybrid environment, self-motivated and goal-oriented.
  • Experience using CRM software to track and manage sales activity.
  • Familiarity with digital marketing and web development services is a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Compensation:

The total annual compensation for this position, which includes a base salary and commission, ranges from $50,000 to $100,000+. The commission structure is based on individual sales performance, types of projects or retainers sold, and the achievement of revenue and goals.

The Perks:

  • Competitive base salary with a lucrative commission structure.
  • Flexible working options: fully remote or hybrid.
  • PTO, 401K with employer match, Group Health Insurance, and more.
  • Access to a downtown office for Cleveland-area employees.
  • A stocked fridge of Jeni’s ice cream and unlimited espresso!
