This is probably NOT the right job for....

  • people who hate prospecting
  • people who want mostly inside sales
  • people who need constant structure
  • people who prefer endless internal meetings over customer visits

But if you genuinely enjoy developing business, building relationships, and getting in front of customers...keep reading.

A growing specialty chemicals company is looking for a true hunter-focused Business Development Representative to help expand business throughout the Midwest and Northeast.

No corporate fluff. No fake “synergy” talk. No 14 layers of management.

This is a fast-moving, entrepreneurial company that wants people
  • talking to customers
  • traveling
  • developing business
  • creating momentum
Highlights
  • Heavy business development role -- NOT a babysitting/account maintenance job
  • Strong mix of existing leads + dormant accounts + true greenfield opportunities
  • Very entrepreneurial culture -- low bureaucracy and high visibility
  • Specialty chemical / polymer-additives-related markets
  • Company actually WANTS people in front of customers
  • Strong long-term upside for the right person
Ideal backgrounds include
  • specialty chemicals
  • polymer additives
  • flame retardants
  • CASE-related materials
  • polyurethane chemicals
  • technical chemical distribution
  • materials / industrial manufacturing sales
What we’re looking for
  • actual hunter mentality
  • high urgency
  • comfortable traveling
  • customer-facing confidence
  • self-directed personality
  • thick skin
  • someone who creates activity without being micromanaged
What we are NOT looking for
  • career farmers who pretend to be hunters
  • people afraid to hustle and bet on themselves
  • people who overanalyze everything instead of taking action
  • people who want an inside sales role with a phone, computer and webcam
  • people who need constant hand-holding
Compensation
  • approximately $100k–110k base DOE
  • bonus opportunity
  • additional upside tied to new business development
  • vehicle allowance or possible company vehicle
Territory
  • Midwest and Northeast focused
  • Ohio / Pennsylvania / Chicago / Michigan especially attractive
  • Travel is expected and part of the role.
