Business Development Manager

Leadline Performance Marketing|Tulsa, Oklahoma|4 Day Work Week|In-Office | Compensation: $85,000+ DOE The Company Leadline Performance Marketing helps mid-market and enterprise clients turn marketing investment into measurable business revenue. We don't just run campaigns, we connect every marketing activity to outcomes that matter, holding ourselves accountable to the results each client cares about most. What sets us apart is our proprietary AI technology, built in-house to give clients a competitive advantage that others simply can't replicate. We combine human expertise with first-party data, advanced analytics, and a platform that turns insight into action, treating brand, creative, web presence, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as true performance levers. We are building the future of performance marketing, and we're looking for a Business Development Manager to help us scale it. Collaboration and core values aren't buzzwords here; they are how we operate, for the good of our clients and our people. The Opportunity This is a high-impact role for a driven hunter who wants to build a book of business from the ground up and be directly rewarded for every deal they bring in. We are seeking a Business Development Manager to win new clients for Leadline as we scale toward $10M in revenue. You will own the front end of the client lifecycle: finding the right prospects, opening doors, running a disciplined sales process, and closing new business. You will report to our Head of Sales & Client Success and work closely with our Director of Marketing to turn pipeline into revenue and keep our message sharp in the market. Once a deal closes, you'll hand it off cleanly to our Account Services team, who own retention and growth, so your focus stays on winning what's next. You will help shape the sales playbook, carry a meaningful number, and get real visibility with leadership as you deliver. This is an opportunity for a competitive closer who is ready to prove what they can build. What You'll Own Win new clients: run discovery calls, build proposals, present pricing and close. Build your own pipeline through referrals, networking, partners and outbound, alongside meetings set by our marketing team. Work closely with the marketing team to identify targets, develop messaging and ensure lead quality. Keep the CRM accurate and give a weekly pipeline forecast. Represent Leadline at Tulsa business events, chamber functions and industry groups. Hand new clients off smoothly to our account team. What You Bring 3-5+ years in B2B sales with a record of closing new business. Experience in manufacturing sales, agency, media, advertising or marketing‑services sales is a big plus. Comfort selling to owners and executives on annual contracts of $100,000+. Strong discovery and proposal skills. You can explain ROI in plain language. Proven ability to close six‑figure deals. Self‑directed: you build pipeline without waiting for leads. What We're Looking For Experience 3-5+ years of B2B business development or new‑business sales experience, with a track record of hitting or beating a quota you owned. A proven history of finding, opening, and closing your own deals. We’d like to hear about the clients you brought in and what those relationships turned into. Experience selling marketing services or agency offerings is strongly preferred. Familiarity with performance marketing, digital media, or marketing technology is a plus. Comfortable selling consultatively to mid‑market and enterprise buyers, where sales cycles are longer and there are several people at the table. Experience building pipeline from scratch through outbound prospecting, networking, referrals and with inbound leads. An understanding of what makes a clean handoff to an account team, and why it matters for keeping clients long after the contract is signed. Self‑starter: you set your own pace, build your own pipeline, and don’t need someone checking in to keep moving. Curious and consultative: you ask good questions, get to the real business problem, and position solutions that fit, instead of pitching the same thing to everyone Organized and data‑minded: you keep your CRM current, know your numbers, and use them to decide where to spend your time. Strong communicator in writing, on the phone, and in the room. You’re as comfortable writing a cold email that gets a reply as you are presenting to a senior decision‑maker. Resilient and competitive: you take a “no” in stride, learn from lost deals, and keep going. Team player who works well with marketing and account services, and who is coachable. Why Leadline Real ownership — Your pipeline is yours, from first contact to signed contract. You’ll have a real say in how we sell, and you’ll see the clients you bring in grow with Leadline long after you hand them off. Cutting‑edge tools — We invest heavily in AI and martech. You'll have access to the best stack in the industry and the freedom to experiment.
