Full-time

Re-posted 20 days ago

Job description

Benefits:
  • Bonus based on performance
  • Competitive salary
  • Employee discounts
  • Flexible schedule
  • Free food & snacks
  • Training & development

Company: Social Express Catering & Meal Prep (SECMP)
 Location: Metro Atlanta, GA (Hybrid: remote prospecting + in-person meetings/tastings as needed)
Job Type: Full-Time
Reports To: CEO/Executive Chef & COO
Compensation: $50,000 base salary + commission + performance bonus
Start Date: ASAP
About SECMPSocial Express Catering & Meal Prep (SECMP) is a Metro Atlanta-based catering and meal production company known for delivering high-quality food, strong execution, and cultural culinary experiences at scale. We provide meal prep, catering, and large-volume food service—and we’re actively expanding into corporate catering, weddings, and high-ticket private events.
Role SummaryWe are hiring a true Business Development Manager—a hunter + closer who can generate opportunities through outbound efforts and convert them into booked events and paid deposits.
This role is responsible for growing SECMP’s revenue through:
✅ Corporate catering (recurring & one-time)
✅ Weddings
✅ Private events (birthdays, showers, celebrations, etc.)
✅ Strategic partnerships (venues, planners, offices, studios)

This is not a “wait for leads” job. You must be comfortable prospecting daily, running discovery calls, presenting pricing confidently, and closing.
What You’ll Own (Key Responsibilities)
1) Outbound Prospecting & Lead Generation (Daily)
  • Build targeted lists of corporate accounts, venues, planners, event coordinators, studios, and organizations.
  • Execute daily outreach via calls, emails, drop-ins, networking, referrals, and follow-up sequences.
  • Create consistent lead flow through relationship building and partnerships.
  • Book meetings, tastings, venue walkthroughs, and vendor introductions.
2) Close New Business (Inquiry → Proposal → Deposit)
  • Respond quickly to new inquiries and guide prospects through the process.
  • Run discovery calls to confirm event type, guest count, date/time, location, budget, and service style.
  • Present packages and pricing confidently while protecting SECMP standards.
  • Handle objections professionally and close deals without discounting the brand.
  • Collect deposits, secure signatures/agreements, and lock in bookings.
3) Corporate Catering Growth (Recurring Revenue Focus)
  • Sell recurring corporate lunch and meeting catering programs.
  • Develop relationships with office managers, executive assistants, HR teams, and admins.
  • Convert one-time corporate orders into repeat accounts.
4) Wedding & Venue Partnership Development
  • Build relationships with wedding planners, venues, and event coordinators.
  • Get SECMP included on preferred vendor lists and referral networks.
  • Drive wedding pipeline through partnership outreach and tastings.
5) Pipeline Management & Follow-Up Discipline (Non-Negotiable)
  • Maintain a live pipeline tracker (CRM or Google Sheet).
  • Track every lead through the pipeline: Prospect → Contacted → Meeting Set → Proposal Sent → Closed Won/Lost.
  • Follow up consistently until the deal is closed or disqualified.
  • Keep clear notes and next steps so nothing falls through the cracks.
6) Clean Handoff to Operations
  • Confirm all final event details: guest count, menu selections, dietary needs, service timeline, address, and logistics.
  • Ensure production/operations receives clean notes to execute flawlessly.
  • Maintain professionalism and protect the client experience from start to finish.
SECMP Standards (Non-Negotiables)
  • $500 minimum for drop-off catering
  • $1,000 minimum for staffed/on-site events
  • Deposits are required to secure dates.
  • Discounts and pricing exceptions require leadership approval.
Performance Expectations (KPI Scorecard)
Weekly Activity KPIs

  • Outbound touches: 150–250/week (calls + emails + DMs + drop-ins + referrals)
  • Sales meetings/calls completed: 10–15/week

  • Proposals sent: 8–12/week

  • Follow-ups completed: 100% weekly (daily discipline)
Revenue KPIs

  • Month 1: $10k–$20k booked revenue
  • Month 2: $20k–$30k booked revenue
  • Month 3+: $30k–$50k booked revenue (based on lead flow and seasonality)
Process & Speed

  • Fast response time during business hours
  • Proposals sent within 24 hours of discovery call when possible
  • Deposits collected quickly once client commits
Compensation Plan

Base Salary

✅ $50,000/year

Commission (Standardized Assumed Gross Profit Model)
SECMP uses a simplified commission model to ensure payouts are fast, consistent, and predictable.
  • Commission is calculated using a standardized gross profit assumption of 30% of Net Sales (invoice total excluding sales tax).
  • The Business Development Manager earns 10% of assumed gross profit on closed deals.
✅ This equals approximately 3% of Net Sales per closed deal.
Commission Timing:
Commission is earned when the client deposit clears and is paid on a scheduled basis (bi-weekly or monthly). For large staffed events, commission may be paid after event completion to avoid cancellations/chargebacks.
Monthly KPI Bonus

✅ Up to $500/month for meeting outreach + booking targets consistently.
Qualifications
Required
  • 2+ years of sales closing experience (services, hospitality, events, B2B, etc.)
  • Comfortable prospecting daily (this is a hunter role)
  • Confident on the phone and skilled at objection handling
  • Organized follow-up habits and ability to manage a pipeline
  • Strong written communication (email/text follow-ups)
  • Professional presence and a high standard of customer service
  • Catering or event sales experience
  • Experience building relationships with corporate admins, venues, and planners
  • CRM experience (or comfortable managing a tracker)

What Success Looks Like (30/60/90 Days)
First 30 Days

  • Learn SECMP packages, minimums, and sales process
  • Build prospect lists and execute daily outreach
  • Maintain a clean pipeline and consistent follow-up discipline
  • Target: $10k–$20k booked + 200 prospects added + 2 tastings scheduled
By 60 Days
