Job description

ADP is hiring a Business Development Representative, Upmarket

• Are you ready to control your financial future with unlimited upside earnings potential?
• Do you want a lasting career with a company that offers autonomy to run a book of business, flexibility to make your own schedule, and gives you work-life balance?
• Are you looking for continuous learning and the opportunity to invest in yourself?

If so, then this may be just the opportunity you've been searching for. Read on and decide for yourself.

In this role, you will learn ADP’s market-leading suite of HCM technology and services while working alongside tenured associates. This role is designed to shorten your learning curve and ramp up time to success by putting you in a position to work independently and collaboratively across all facets of our mid-market business and across functional area experts. You will learn how to sell human resources technology within a designated geographic territory to cultivate new business opportunities and drive strategic discussions around Human Capital Management (HCM) initiatives for companies with 150 – 999 employees. You will co‑manage complete sales cycles, sell ADP's suite of solutions (40+ products and services) to executives, and accurately forecast your sales pipeline. ADP is here to support you and your goals with continuous sales training and the latest technology to set you up for success as you manage your book of business.

You’ll spend most of your time doing what you do best – selling in the field. But that’s not all. You’ll also document and manage multiple sales cycles, sticking with the process through implementation until your new business is up and running on the solutions you sell. As you see more and more deals cross the finish line, you’ll reap the rewards with industry‑leading compensation, benefits, luxurious incentive trips, and awards. You will be armed not only with the most robust technology stack in the industry but also industry‑leading and AI‑driven sales tools that will help you in all facets of your selling cycle management from research to close. As you strive to grow your career, leaders will back your desire to pursue advancement and provide continual sales training.

• Deepen Relationships Across the ADP Family. In addition to selling cloud‑based human resources solutions, you will strategically cultivate additional business within existing accounts. But it’s not all business; you will make life‑long friendships here.
