Business Development Sales Executive

This role is designed for a high-energy, commercially minded professional who thrives in a relationship-driven, residual-income environment. The Business Development Executive (BDE) is a critical growth role at the forefront of Bold Integrated Payments' expansion strategy. This is a pure hunter position — focused on identifying, engaging, and converting net-new ISV and channel partner relationships that drive long-term, recurring revenue for the business. Company Overview At VersiTech, we go beyond the traditional boundaries of a tech company to provide payment and point-of-sale technologies that help businesses increase their profitability, run efficiently, and grow with confidence. We are innovators at heart, problem-solvers in action, and growth partners in spirit. In every solution we create and every service we offer, our ethos is clear: technology should be advanced, accessible, and easy to use. We have a passion for delivering technology-focused products and services that are built on speed, affordability, and reliability so that every business we serve enjoys a consistent experience with a trusted ally. Our two product lines, BOLD Integrated Payments and Tonic POS Software can be deployed together for a unified end-to-end experience or used independently for maximum flexibility. Listening first, building lasting relationships, and delivering measurable outcomes for our partners and merchants are central to how we operate as an organization. Who We Are We operate under a rapidly growing and widely accepted business philosophy called “EOS” (Entrepreneurial Operating System). In learning to utilize EOS, you will have the ability to drive growth and be an empowered decision maker, something that you can’t get in large, slow-moving organizations. As we grow, we are intentional about protecting our small-company spirit: staying agile, taking ownership, and maintaining strong relationships. We strive to live our values every day and in every way. We believe culture is built through the habits we practice: Value + Habit = Culture, and we are looking for others who feel the same way: We are ALL IN: We are committing wholeheartedly to a clear vision. Mission first and team always by: following through, owning outcomes, and finishing what we start for the success of ALL involved: our employees, our partners, our vendors, our communities, and our customers. We DARE TO BE DIFFERENT: We embrace our entrepreneurial DNA and small-company spirit as we scale, taking responsibility as first movers, simplifying the complex, and maintaining a culture of fun and approachability while prioritizing our partners and team members first. We are HUMAN: We are grounded in accountability and genuineness, we build strong relationships by listening to understand, communicating clearly, speaking truth with care, and respecting different perspectives with grace as we grow. How will you make an impact in this role? You will own the full business development lifecycle, from complex partner negotiations through signed agreements and production activation. You will be assisted by a Business Development Representative (BDR), who you will provide direction and coaching as they source, qualify, and advance prospects through the pipeline. Together, you function as a unified growth engine, closing and activating while your BDR keeps opportunities moving. Success is measured not just by deals signed, but by MID activation rates, pipeline velocity, and the residual revenue your book of business generates over time. This role is built for a high-energy, commercially sharp professional who understands that in the payments industry, the real prize is a growing portfolio of productive partners who has the discipline, persistence, and relationship skills to build one. You will report to the Head of Business Development, Trey Gaskins. What will you be doing on a day-to-day basis?
