Human Resources Sales Representative

HR Sales - Small Business Solutions Specialist B2B Sales

Location: Akron, OH (serving the Greater Akron / Northeast Ohio region) onsite, with time in the field visiting clients at their locations throughout Akron, OH.

Overview: Small business owners with under 15 employees need a trusted advisor who actually understands payroll, benefits, and HR but often don't have enough work to support a full-time HR Generalist with that knowledge and experience. That's the gap our client fills, and it's why they're growing!

Our client is a well-established, tight-knit HR consulting and employee benefits firm serving small businesses (mostly 10100 employees) across Northeast Ohio. They've built their reputation the old-fashioned way through relationships, retention, and results and their average team member sticks around 810 years due to competent, caring leadership that recognizes and rewards great results. Join a team where people are expected to show up, add value, and lift each other up.

This is a newly created role, built specifically to give a driven salesperson room to run prospecting, managing warm leads, closing, and cross-selling two complementary service lines (HR consulting and employee benefits/insurance) under one roof.

• Keep the CRM current and accurate to support forecasting and team visibility

Growth Path: One of the reasons the company has retained employees for so long is they create roles designed to scale with you from managing your own book of business, to a future sales leadership track, to lateral moves into consulting or insurance specialties, to owning a regional or industry niche as the team grows. They consider where your passion and skills intersect and help you carve out a career path that aligns with their business trajectory.

Requirements

• 12 years of proven business to business sales experience (required)
• Ideally 35 years in a B2B role payroll, commercial banking, inside/outside commercial sales, IT services, accounting services, or another business-owner-facing capacity
