About this role

Job Summary

  • We are looking for tenacious, high-energy Business Development Specialists (BDS) who love the thrill of the deal and thrive in a target-driven environment.
  • Reporting directly to the Business Development Manager (BDM), you are the frontline "hunter" responsible for opening doors, pitching EISS’s service portfolio, and converting corporate prospects into high-value clients.
  • This is not a slow-paced desk job; it is a fast-lane revenue role for someone with at least 2 years of B2B sales experience who knows how to navigate decision-makers, handle objections, and close deals.
  • With a competitive base salary, variable performance pay, and commissions, your earning potential is directly tied to your hustle and results.
  • If you are aggressive about targets, articulate in boardrooms, and driven by financial success, your seat is ready.

  • Pipeline Creation: Identify, qualify, and convert cold prospects into active sales pipeline opportunities for all EISS product lines - recruitment, outsourcing, background checks, L&D, market research, and HR advisory.
  • Introductory Meetings: Secure and lead high-converting discovery calls and client pitch sessions, presenting EISS’s value proposition with clarity and authority.

Deal Closing & Portfolio Management:

  • Revenue Generation: Consistently meet and exceed individual monthly revenue and acquisition targets to unlock variable pay and commissions.
  • Proposal Delivery: Work closely with the BDM to draft, customize, and deliver sharp, high-impact commercial proposals, SLAs, and pitch decks within tight turnaround times.
  • Account Onboarding: Facilitate a smooth transition from initial deal sign-off to client onboarding, ensuring zero friction between the client and the operations execution teams.

Market Intelligence & CRM Discipline:

  • CRM Mastery: Maintain 100% data hygiene in the CRM, logging all daily calls, emails, pipeline stages, and conversion metrics in real-time.
  • Competitor Intelligence: Keep a pulse on market trends, competitor pricing, and emerging sector opportunities, feeding insights up to the BDM for strategic positioning.

Requirements

Professional & Technical Strengths:

  • Academic Qualification: Bachelor’s Degree (B.Sc) in Marketing, Business Administration, Economics, or any related discipline.
  • B2B Experience: Minimum of 2 years of proven hands-on B2B sales experience (preferably in HR consulting, corporate service sales, financial services, or structured B2B environments).
  • Track Record: A verifiable track record of meeting or exceeding corporate sales targets and closing service contracts.
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written presentation skills; you know how to hold a room, handle tough negotiations, and speak the language of business.
  • Tool Savvy: Proficient in using CRMs, Google Workspace, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator for lead sourcing.

Leadership & Interpersonal Strengths:

  • Persistence: You see a "no" as a "not yet" and have the grit to follow up effectively.
  • Resilience: Comfortable in high-pressure, target-driven environments.
  • Curiosity: A natural researcher who stays updated on industry trends and market shifts.
