Entry Level Business Jobs in Stuart, FL (NOW HIRING)

Business Development Representative

Atlantic Employee Screening

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Full Time | In Office Position

Start Your Career in Sales and Business Development

Are you competitive, motivated, comfortable talking to people, and looking for an opportunity to build a career rather than simply find your next job?

Atlantic Employee Screening is looking for an entry level Business Development Representative (BDR) to join our growing team in our Palm Beach Gardens office.

This is a full time, in office position Monday through Friday. This position is not remote or hybrid.

We believe being together in the office is an important part of succeeding in this role, particularly for someone beginning or developing a career in sales. You will have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced team members, receive real time coaching, collaborate with sales and marketing, and develop your skills in an environment where you have support around you.

You do not need years of sales experience to be successful here. We are looking for someone who is hungry to learn, willing to work hard, enjoys connecting with people, and is motivated by achieving goals.

We will help teach you our industry, our sales process, our technology, and how to identify and develop new business opportunities. What we need from you is the attitude, effort, curiosity, and desire to succeed.

Most importantly, this is a position you can grow from. We believe in developing our people and creating opportunities for advancement. A member of our current business development team advanced from BDR to BDR II after approximately one year with the company.

If you are looking for a place where strong performance can create real career opportunities, we want to meet you.

What You Will Do

As a BDR, you will learn how to find potential clients, start conversations, build relationships, identify opportunities, and help turn prospects into Atlantic Employee Screening clients.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Prospecting and connecting with potential clients by phone, email, LinkedIn, networking, and other outreach methods

• Building relationships with prospects and maintaining consistent follow up
• Supporting outreach before and after industry conferences and trade shows
• Attending approximately 2 to 3 industry conferences annually to network, meet prospects, and build relationships
• Keeping prospect information, calls, follow ups, deals, and tasks organized and accurately documented in ActiveCampaign
• Working closely with our sales and marketing teams to develop new business opportunities
• Learning the background screening industry, our products, and the needs of the employers we serve
• Setting goals, measuring your results, and continuously working to improve your sales skills

Who We Are Looking For

We are less concerned about having the perfect resume and more interested in finding the right person.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy talking to people and building relationships
• Are interested in sales and want to develop a long term career in business development
• Are motivated by goals and enjoy seeing measurable results from your work
• Are comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations with people you have never met
• Are competitive and willing to put in the effort necessary to succeed
• Are coachable and willing to learn from both successes and setbacks
• Take ownership of your responsibilities and follow through on commitments
• Are organized and understand the importance of documenting your activity and follow up

• Bring a positive attitude and work well as part of a team
• Are excited about working and learning alongside your team in our Palm Beach Gardens office Monday through Friday
• Are willing to travel approximately 2 to 3 times per year for industry events

Previous sales or business development experience is a plus, but it is not required.

A college degree is also a plus, but we are most interested in your communication skills, work ethic, willingness to learn, and desire to build a successful career.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position is not just about making calls. It is about learning how to turn activity into conversations, conversations into relationships, and relationships into new clients.

We will expect you to be consistent with your outreach, organized with your follow up, willing to learn, and accountable for your goals.

As your skills and results grow, so can your opportunities within Atlantic Employee Screening.
