Role Description
This is a hunting role. Reporting to the Head of Sales, the Business Development Manager owns net-new revenue for Northern Business Intelligence, finding, opening and closing accounts that have never bought from us before.
-
You will build your own pipeline through prospecting: cold calls, cold emails, LinkedIn, referrals, trade shows, and industry associations.
-
Most opportunities will come from your own efforts; this role is not about servicing an existing book of business.
-
If you measure your week by meetings booked and deals advanced, you'll do well here.
-
We sell leading-edge telematics and fleet software into a market where the buyer often doesn't know they have a problem yet.
What You'll Do
-
Generate the majority of your own pipeline through consistent, high-volume outbound prospecting.
-
Hunt net-new logos: identify, research and break into target accounts across your assigned region.
-
Get to the decision maker, create urgency and drive the deal.
-
Run the full sales cycle end to end: first call through signature including discovery, product demonstrations, business case, negotiation and close.
-
Deliver compelling demonstrations that connect our fleet solutions to the prospect's cost, safety and compliance problems.
-
Build and work a territory plan: prioritize accounts, map the market and keep a pipeline several times the size of your quota.
-
Maintain accurate activity, pipeline and forecast data in salesforce.com and forecast honestly.
-
Meet or exceed quota and the activity metrics that lead to it.
-
Develop relationships with prospects, customers and channel partners that turn into referrals and repeat business.
-
Work with other Company divisions to uncover and pursue additional opportunities.
-
Partner with internal teams to make the sale-to-driver handoff seamless.
-
Travel to prospects, trade shows and industry events as required.
Qualifications
-
5 years in a quota-carrying, new-business sales role (consultative or solution selling).
-
A documented track record of hitting and beating quota, with specifics: numbers, percentages, rankings.
-
Proven success opening cold accounts; comfortable picking up the phone and prospecting.
-
Resilience and self-direction; manage your own calendar and activity without supervision.
-
Competitive drive and a sense of urgency; want to be measured on results.
-
Strong discovery and questioning skills; find the pain, quantify it and build the business case.
-
Clear, mature written and verbal communication; presence to hold a room of senior decision makers.
-
Strong analytical, interpersonal and organizational skills.
-
Disciplined CRM habits; strong skills in salesforce.com, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
-
Flexible and adaptable; effective both independently and as part of a team.
-
Ability to work with technical and non-technical audiences at every level of an organization.
-
Telematics or fleet industry experience is an asset.
-
Bilingualism is an asset, not a requirement.
