Business Development Representative

Are you a driven prospector who loves opening doors and starting conversations? Do you get energy from a room full of business owners at a networking event, and from the hunt of finding the next great client? If so, we may have the perfect launchpad for your sales career. About Us We are an established, growing HR outsourcing and managed services firm based in Sacramento. We help small and mid-sized California employers run payroll, administer benefits, and stay on the right side of the state's notoriously complex labor laws. California compliance is where we win, and it is the wedge that opens almost every conversation. Our clients typically have 25 to 150 employees and rely on us as their outsourced HR department. About the Role This is a true top-of-funnel business development role. You will own the first mile of our sales engine: finding the right California employers, starting the conversation, qualifying the opportunity, and booking discovery meetings for our advisors to run. You will not be asked to close deals. Your job is to create the at-bats that let our team do the rest. You will not be prospecting blind, either. We arm you with a curated, data-driven target list of California companies showing real signals of HR and compliance distress, so your outreach references something specific and timely rather than a cold guess. Our proprietary set of enablement assets gives you the tools you need to thrive in the role. Twelve months in, you will have built a reliable, self-sourced pipeline of qualified meetings, developed a referral network across the region, and set the pace for how we grow. You will also work directly with our CEO, who leads sales strategy and will coach you week to week. At a firm our size that access is real: your ideas get heard, your wins get noticed, and you help shape how we grow. What You'll Do Generate qualified meetings through high-volume outbound across phone, email, and LinkedIn, working a targeted list of California small and mid-sized employers. Prospect our data-driven demand-signal list, reaching companies that show timely HR, payroll, or compliance triggers. Represent the firm in person at chamber of commerce mixers, local business events, and networking functions to build relationships and source new opportunities. Qualify prospects against our ideal-client profile, book discovery meetings for our HR advisors, and hand off cleanly with strong notes. Develop and nurture referral relationships with local centers of influence such as CPAs, brokers, and bankers. Keep the CRM current and accurate: activity, notes, next steps, and pipeline status. Consistently hit weekly activity targets and monthly qualified-meeting goals. What We’re Looking For Required 1 to 3 years of B2B sales, sales development, or prospecting experience, or a clear track record of hitting goals in a competitive environment. Comfort with high-volume outbound: you are not afraid of the phone, and you handle rejection without losing momentum. Poise and professionalism with business owners and executives, in person and on the phone. Willingness and ability to attend in-person networking events in the Sacramento region. Strong verbal and written communication, and solid organizational habits. A self-starter who works productively without day-to-day supervision. Organized and disciplined with outreach and follow up. Preferred Experience selling intangible or professional services such as HR, payroll, benefits, insurance, staffing, or business banking. Familiarity and proficiency in CRM platforms and modern outbound tools. Working knowledge of the California employment and HR landscape. Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience. Compensation and Benefits We offer a competitive package benchmarked to the Sacramento market for outbound business development roles. The base salary range is $55,000 to $65,000/annually, plus commission (with on-target earnings of approximately $75,000 to $90,000/annually at full quota). Actual compensation will DOE. The plan runs roughly 70 percent base and 30 percent variable, with commission tied to established performance measures such as qualified meetings booked and pipeline generated. This is a non-exempt, full-time position. Schedule and Work Environment The regular schedule is Monday through Friday. This role follows a hybrid work environment following the successful completion of an initial in-person training period. Because relationship building is an important part of this role, regular attendance at in-person meetings, networking events, and community functions in the Sacramento region and surrounding area is required. Some events may take place outside of regular business hours. Benefit and Work Perks We offer a competitive benefits package designed to support employees. Benefits may include: Medical, dental, and vision insurance; Life insurance Flexible spending account Paid time off and paid holidays Company provided snacks and beverages in the office Monthly company provided team lunches Team building activities A collaborative, supportive, and growth- oriented work environment How to Apply Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply now.
