Lead with Relationships. Close with confidence.

Channel Sales is where growth happens fastest—for our clients and our people. You’ll work with businesses of 1–99 employees—the entrepreneurs powering local economies—helping them succeed with essential HR, payroll, and compliance solutions.

Through trusted partners like CPAs and client referrals, you won’t just sell—you’ll build relationships, unlock opportunities, and make a real impact. Every conversation matters, every referral opens a door, and every win accelerates your career.

What You’ll Do

• Generate new business through referral partners and outbound outreach
• Build relationships with CPAs and existing clients to drive new logos 
• Execute high-volume daily activity (calls, follow-ups, and partner touchpoints) to build pipeline
• Sell a full suite of solutions: payroll, HR, benefits, retirement, and compliance
• Manage a fast-paced sales cycle (1–2 weeks) with small business owners
• Own the full process—from prospecting to closing deals

What It Takes to Win

• Early-career sales professionals with 1-5 years of relevant experience.
• Comfort with high activity, fast cycles, and transactional deal sizes
• Resilience, drive, and competitive motivation
• Coachability and ability to quickly apply feedback
• Experience working toward goals or quotas (sales or similar environments) and demonstrated leadership experience—whether through work, school, nonprofits, fraternities/sororities, clubs, or other organizations (for example, serving as a treasurer, team lead, or project lead)

Why This Role

• Uncapped earning potential + performance incentives and award trips
• Rapid skill development in a high-volume, high-growth sales environment
• Strong access to opportunities through referral-based selling
• Real impact helping small businesses grow and stay compliant

If you’re driven, coachable, and ready to build a high-growth sales career—this is your starting point.
