Own Your Territory. Build Your Business. Drive Canadian Business Forward!

TELUS Small Medium Business (SMB) is the fastest-growing segment in the industry. We're on a mission to become the digital-first technology provider of choice for businesses across Canada — making technology secure, simple, and worry-free. As we continue to grow nationally, we're looking for driven sales professionals to join our successful team and help shape the future of business technology.

Are you a driven, entrepreneurial sales professional who thrives on prospecting and winning new business and helping small business owners succeed with the right technology solutions? Join TELUS as an Account Specialist on our Small Medium Business team — where you'll think like a CEO, build your own book of business from the ground up, and make a real impact on businesses across Canada.

You will be a trusted advisor and entrepreneur who owns your results, your strategy, and your growth. You'll focus on outbound prospecting to connect with small business owners, identify their needs, and deliver tailored technology solutions that help them thrive in today's digital world.

• Hunt and develop new business through strategic outbound prospecting and proactive outreach across your territory, with a pipeline of 500K qualified SMBs waiting to be engaged
• Build and cultivate your own book of business from the ground up — not just work assigned leads. Your business is yours to own and grow
• Manage a full sales cycle from qualifying prospects to closing deals and building a strong client base. Success requires the ability to thrive in variety — some deals close in weeks with deeper discovery, others in days with ready-to-buy prospects
• Deliver consultative solutions tailored to each business's unique needs across our full portfolio — Mobility, Fibre Internet, Business Security and Generative AI solutions with average deal values of $5K-$25K annually
• Cultivate long-term partnerships where clients see you as their trusted technology advisor, not a one-time transaction — building recurring revenue streams
• Drive outbound prospecting initiatives while cultivating relationships and referral networks to support sourcing efforts — top performers source 40%+ of their pipeline through relationships

  • Full OTE: $80,000 – $100,000 (based on 100% quota achievement)
  • Top Performers can achieve accelerator bonuses — Achieve 100% on all product lines and earn 2X your commission. Last year, our top 10% of performers exceeded $150K+ in total compensation
  • Uncapped earning potential — No ceiling on commissions. Your effort directly translates to your paycheck
• Comprehensive benefits starting from day one, including a wellness account, health coverage, and mental health support
