  • Consistently meet or exceed monthly and annual revenue targets
  • Actively manage your territory by traveling to local businesses, conducting in-person meetings, and developing new customer opportunities.
  • Build trust quickly with owners, operators, and decision-makers at small businesses
  • Develop and sustain Broker and Partner referral relationships to fuel inbound pipeline
  • Collaborate with SDRs, Sales Engineers, and Marketing to maximize deal velocity

What You'll Need:
  • 4+ years of B2B sales experience, with a demonstrated track record of hitting and exceeding quota
  • Experience selling to small businesses or in high-velocity, transactional sales environments
  • A hunter mentality; you don't wait for leads, you go find them
  • Payroll, HCM, or HR tech experience is a strong plus - but not required
  • Strong ability to build rapport fast and move deals forward without losing the human touch
  • Comfort managing a high volume of opportunities simultaneously without dropping the ball
  • Proficiency with CRM and sales engagement tools (e.g., Salesforce, HighSpot)

What You'll Gain

  • A high-activity environment where frequent wins fuel your momentum and your paycheck
  • Larger, less crowded territories - more runway, more opportunity
  • The tools, training, and support to ramp quickly and perform at your peak
  • A culture that celebrates hustle, rewards results, and invests in your growth
  • A genuine sense of pride in helping small businesses run better every day
