Business Development Specialist

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

CodeDestinee helps established service-based businesses improve the operational systems behind their growth. We work with businesses experiencing challenges such as manual coordination, disconnected tools, inconsistent workflows, limited operational visibility, and processes that have become difficult to manage as the organization grows.

Our work combines business operations and systems architecture to help clients understand where their current operations are breaking down and determine what should be improved, integrated, or automated.

ABOUT THE ROLE

CodeDestinee is seeking a Business Development Specialist to develop relationships with prospective clients and generate new business opportunities.

This is a consultative sales role. You will speak with business owners and decision-makers, understand the operational challenges they are experiencing, determine whether there is a potential fit for CodeDestinee's services, and communicate the value of working with us.

The ideal candidate is self-directed, comfortable developing their own pipeline, confident speaking with business leaders, and capable of managing opportunities from initial outreach through the sales decision.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Guide interested prospects through CodeDestinee's established qualification process using the company provided qualification tools.

Present CodeDestinee's services using company-provided sales materials to ensure prospective clients receive accurate and consistent information regarding the company's services, scope, pricing, and value proposition.

Independently manage prospecting, relationship development, follow-up, and pipeline activities.
Maintain accurate and timely prospect, opportunity, and communication records within the company's CRM.

QUALIFICATIONS

Effective communication and customer service skills to engage prospects, build trust, and manage client interactions professionally.

Proven experience in lead generation and market research within B2B or service-based business environments.

Familiarity with CRM systems and basic sales or business development processes.

Prior experience in consulting, operations, or technology services is an advantage.

Demonstrate strong follow-through and attention to documentation.

Be comfortable working independently without continuous supervision.

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Previous experience in B2B business development, consultative sales, or professional-services sales.

Experience selling consulting, technology, operations consulting, SaaS, or other professional services.

Experience working with small to mid-sized businesses, founders, or business owners.

Familiarity with CRM platforms such as HubSpot and maintaining an organized sales pipeline.

Experience with outbound prospecting, lead generation, relationship development, and closing new business.

Ability to understand business workflows, operational challenges, and opportunities for process improvement.

Experience conducting discovery conversations, sales presentations, or consultations with decision-makers.

Familiarity with concepts such as business process improvement, workflow automation, systems integration, or digital transformation.

Demonstrated ability to work independently in a commission-based or results-oriented sales environment.

An existing professional network or experience developing relationships within service-based businesses is a plus.

COMPENSATION

This is a commission-only independent contractor opportunity. Business Development Specialists earn a 15% commission on eligible completed assessments. Our assessment is $3,000, so that works out to $450 per assessment. Additional details regarding commission eligibility, payment timing, and compensation terms will be discussed during the interview process and documented in the contractor agreement.

Implementation and ongoing support services are not currently commission-eligible unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

WORKING RELATIONSHIP

This position is structured as an independent contractor engagement. There are no guaranteed hours, salary, or sales volume.

Contractors are expected to independently organize their business-development activities while operating within CodeDestinee's established service offering, qualification standards, pricing, brand expectations, confidentiality requirements, and client communication guidelines.

The role is best suited for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of their pipeline and being accountable for measurable business-development results.
