Business Development Advisor

About the Role

About the Role:

As a Business Development Advisor for Honor in our Chicago market, you are the single-threaded owner of referral demand generation within your territory. This is an individual contributor (IC) role with full ownership of a defined referral portfolio. You build and grow durable, trust-based partnerships with healthcare and community referral sources that drive consistent, repeat client volume over time. Acting as a consultative partner, you help referrers understand Home Instead’s value proposition, align it to their mission, and simplify the process of referring clients.

Success requires the ability to mobilize referral partners, create urgency, and sustain momentum across complex healthcare environments. While primarily accountable for referral demand generation, this role extends beyond traditional referral sales. Supporting in-home consultations, care starts, and occasional after-hours needs is an intentional part of strengthening referral relationships and building credibility with partners and families. Success requires flexibility, sound judgment, and resilience.

You’ll be part of a mission-driven team in a high-demand sector, with unlimited earning potential through uncapped commissions in a meritocratic culture that rewards performance. This role requires ~75% travel in the field across the Greater Chicagoland Area. Compensation includes base salary plus uncapped commission, with an expected OTE of $110,000 to $120,000.
