Position: Business Development Consultant (BDC)

Role Overview

The Business Development Consultant (BDC) is a high-impact, growth-driving role responsible for building and advancing a strong pipeline of new business opportunities. Working closely with a Producer, this individual will lead outbound prospecting efforts, develop meaningful client relationships, and help drive revenue growth through disciplined pipeline management.

This role is ideal for a motivated, entrepreneurial sales professional who thrives on prospecting, enjoys the challenge of complex B2B sales cycles, and takes ownership of results. This is not a support role—it’s a growth engine position. The right person will directly influence revenue, expand market presence, and play a key role in building long-term client relationships.

Your Responsibilities
  • Drive New Business Development
  • Build and execute a consistent outbound prospecting strategy across phone, email, social media, events, and in-person meetings
  • Generate qualified meetings and new opportunities aligned with revenue growth goals
  • Research prospects, industries, and market trends to identify high-value opportunities
  • Partner with Producers to develop and execute targeted market strategies
  • Maintain an active, high-quality pipeline within Salesforce
  • Manage and optimize pipeline; own pipeline organization, tracking, and reporting within Salesforce
  • Segment and prioritize prospects (e.g., 90-Day, Active, Long-Term)
  • Continuously improve outreach strategies and conversion rates
  • Support development of benchmarks and best practices for pipeline performance
  • Lead Prospect Engagement & Meetings
  • Coordinate and schedule meetings with prospects and internal teams
  • Serve as primary point of contact for prospect communications during scheduling
  • Collaborate with Producers and internal experts to develop tailored meeting materials
  • Ensure all deliverables are polished, relevant, and client-ready
  • Identify Growth Opportunities Within Existing Clients
  • Develop a working knowledge of all internal service capabilities
  • Partner with client service teams to uncover cross-sell opportunities, including:
    • Property & Casualty
    • Pharmacy & Clinical Consulting
    • Executive Benefits
    • Total Rewards & Retirement Consulting
    • Absence & Benefits Solutions
  • Help initiate conversations that expand client relationships and increase value
  • Support Sales & Operational Execution
  • Assist with RFP responses and new business proposals
  • Coordinate client/prospect engagement through events and networking opportunities
  • Track and reconcile revenue across the Producer’s book of business
  • Manage consulting agreements, renewals, and related documentation
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders (including Executive Assistants) on scheduling, travel, and project coordination
What It Takes To Succeed
  • Strong drive for prospecting and generating new opportunities
  • Confidence navigating complex, long-cycle B2B sales environments
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • High level of organization, accountability, and follow-through
  • Ability to think quickly, adapt, and operate with a sense of urgency
  • Growth mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3–5 years of B2B sales experience, preferably in complex or consultative sales environments
  • Experience managing pipelines and CRM systems (Salesforce preferred)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)
  • Familiarity with sales tools such as Linked In Sales Navigator, Zoom Info, or similar platforms
  • Willingness to travel as needed
