This role is perfect for a business development professional with prior experience in professional services or consulting, and who thrives under pressure with a proven track record of success.

Your primary focus will be on aggressively generating new business opportunities through robust lead generation tactics, including participation in industry events, conferences, and trade shows, as well as cold outreach and strategic and social networking.

While your core responsibility is to initiate strong client relationships, you will also be tasked with guiding these prospects through the sales funnel to successful deal closure and working collaboratively with the sales and customer success teams.

Represent Blue Orange at industry events, conferences, and trade shows, ensuring thorough preparation, active engagement, and effective follow-up :

  • Conduct pre-event research to identify and schedule meetings with key prospects.
  • Engage with attendees during the event, maximize networking opportunities, and collect detailed lead information.
  • Promptly manage post-event follow-up, entering leads into the CRM and initiating targeted nurture campaigns for different lead types.
  • Deliver compelling value propositions and actively promote our services to expand market presence and brand awareness.
  • Prospect and qualify potential clients by identifying key decision-makers and understanding their business needs and challenges.
  • Develop and execute strategic action plans aimed at revenue growth through acquiring new client engagements.
  • Manage the full sales cycle from lead generation to deal closure, including negotiating agreements and maintaining accurate sales records in our CRM.
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams—such as customer success and sales engineering—to develop and execute customized solutions that address client needs.
  • Engage our delivery teams in scoping discussions to ensure the development of appropriate solutions, leveraging a comprehensive understanding of our services.
  • Present proposals that communicate the value proposition of our offerings clearly and compellingly.
  • Consistently achieve sales targets in a fast-paced environment and maintain a deep knowledge of our products and services, as well as the evolving needs and challenges of our clients.
  • Perform other requests as directed by your manager.
  • Your role will be crucial in not only generating leads but also in nurturing these prospects through the sales funnel to successful closures, thereby driving our company's growth.

    Requirements :

  • 4–7 years of experience in professional services or consulting, with a strong focus on business development, sales, or account management.
  • Strong networking abilities and a talent for building relationships.
  • Skilled in pre-call planning, research, and needs-based selling techniques, with the ability to respond effectively to requests for information and proposals.
  • Ability to focus on aggressively generating new business opportunities through robust lead generation tactics, including vigorous participation in industry events, conferences, and trade shows, as well as social networking and cold outreach.
  • Proven track record of quota-carrying sales experience, including negotiating and closing technology projects with middle-market accounts.
  • Demonstrable experience in developing and implementing strategic sales plans and transformational account strategies in customer-facing roles.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, coupled with strong organizational and time management abilities.
  • Proficiency in using CRM software and lead management tools, with a talent for building and maintaining relationships.
  • Self-motivated with a hunter mentality, results-driven approach, and a competitive, growth-oriented mindset.
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% to attend industry events, conferences, and other sales activities, with a strong track record of event marketing and networking.
