New-Business Growth Leader

AccruePartners; Charlotte (NC); On-site; USD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

AccruePartners in Charlotte, NC seeks a Business Development Manager who thrives on hunting new business and building relationships from scratch. You will identify whitespace, create your own pipeline, and convert cold prospects into revenue while expanding across six lines of business.

You’ll own the funnel, drive outbound outreach to CFOs and other senior leaders, and close high-value deals through proactive, consultative selling and persistence.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of demonstrated new-business sales success in staffing, professional services, consulting, Big 4, or another solutions-based B2B environment.
• Track record of generating net-new business, not simply inheriting or managing an established book of accounts.
• Ability to build a territory or pipeline from limited opportunities and convert prospecting activity into meetings, opportunities, and revenue.
• Comfort with high levels of proactive outreach to include cold calling, executive outreach, networking, referrals, and targeted prospecting.
• The ability to articulate your sales metrics: pipeline created, new logos won, revenue generated, quota attainment, average deal size, sales cycle, and other measurable indicators of performance.
• A competitive mindset and genuine desire to win business paired with the emotional intelligence to build credible, consultative executive relationships.
• Persistence without becoming transactional. You know how to stay relevant, add value, overcome objections, and keep a prospect engaged over a long sales cycle.
• Strong closing instincts. You are comfortable asking difficult questions, creating urgency, challenging assumptions, and directly asking for the business.
• Entrepreneurial ownership. You don’t wait for someone to hand you leads, tell you whom to call, or create your pipeline for you.
• Curiosity about how businesses operate and the ability to translate business challenges into talent, workforce, and project solutions.

Responsibilities

• Create and develop business from the ground up through outbound prospecting and networking.
• Own the top of the funnel and maintain a healthy pipeline.
• Open doors to senior decision-makers across AccruePartners’ six lines of business.
• Turn cold prospects into trusted business partners.
• Create demand beyond open requisitions by identifying challenges and needs.
• Navigate complex sales cycles, identify decision-makers, overcome objections, negotiate.
• Expand opportunities by cross-selling AccruePartners’ capabilities across six lines of business.
• Own your number with accountability for activity, pipeline, meetings, and revenue.
• Stay in the hunt and persevere when faced with objections.
