What does this job entail? 

Our Outside Sales Representative is the primary resource responsible for new client acquisition. This comes with the tremendous responsibility of identifying the right clients who see technology as a strategic solution and who share our company’s commitment to doing good in the community. As part of this role, you’ll be responsible for generating your own leads, managing your pipeline and the selling process, and closing deals. This position works closely with our Projects team and Helpdesk to ensure the proper solutions are offered and there is a smooth transition from sales to operations. 

This position requires a high level of independence, a knack for turning cold leads into opportunities, and strong selling skills suited to a highly technical industry.

  • Please make sure you are comfortable with the stated salary range and variable compensation for this position. 
  • We run our business using EOS, an operating system. Experience with EOS is a plus. 
  • We have a hybrid work environment. The expectation for this position is to work in our Detroit office W/F and any day of the week where an onsite presence is needed at our office or a prospect’s site.

What are the position responsibilities? 

  • Prospect for new business daily via personal connections, cold calls, email, LinkedIn, events, etc. This includes creating and managing campaigns through our prospecting software, Apollo.io 
  • Log prospecting activities in our lead database and update our PSA accordingly 
  • Work closely with our service departments to scope the proper technical solutions and pricing for each prospective client 
  • Attend networking events and perform demos for partner and MC services 
  • Foster strong two-way relationships with our vendors for lead flow, partner events and promotions, and maintaining our partner statuses 
  • Create and send quotes for our services 
  • Manage the RFP process for prospective clients that require it 
  • Do the proper relationship-building and follow-up to consistently close new client deals. 

What knowledge, skills, and abilities do you have?
