About the role
We're hiring a Business Development Representative to build and own a pipeline of insurance broker relationships from the ground up. This is a prospecting-first, field-active role.
Responsibilities
- Own outbound prospecting to independent P&C brokers and regional carriers through cold calls, email sequences, LinkedIn, and in-person relationship development
- Build and maintain a disciplined pipeline in HubSpot — every contact, activity, and follow-up logged and current
- Attend local insurance association events, broker meetups, and networking opportunities to build face-to-face relationships
- Clearly articulate our value to insurance brokers: homeowner maintenance data that reduces claims risk, supports policy renewals, and adds value to their client relationships
- Advance qualified conversations toward partnership agreements, with support from senior leadership on complex or high-priority deals
- Bring structured pipeline reporting and activity metrics to weekly BD reviews
Requirements
- 2–3+ years of experience in sales, business development, or a client-facing role — insurance, real estate, home services, or property-adjacent industries a strong plus
- Some exposure to the full sales cycle — you've carried a conversation from cold outreach through a close, even if the deals were modest in size
- Comfortable on the phone — cold calling doesn't intimidate you; you're methodical about it and you keep going
- Ability to communicate a multi-layered value proposition — you can explain why homeowner data matters to a broker's renewal rates without making it complicated
- CRM discipline: HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent — you keep your pipeline clean because you understand why it matters
- Gritty and consistent: you show up, you follow up, and you don't need someone standing over you to stay on task
- Light over heat: you win people over with clarity, curiosity, and genuine enthusiasm — not pressure tactics
Qualifications
- Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $70,000
- Commission: Up to $70,000 at target OTE (~$140,000 total)
- Health coverage, PTO, 401K
- Monthly cell phone and tools stipend
- Mileage reimbursement for field work
