Business Development Specialist

• Develop and execute a business development strategy focused on driving new client partnerships for 321 AIM in target verticals: home services, legal services, healthcare, insurance, and financial services
• Identify and pursue high-value prospects — including regional and national operators, franchise groups, law firms, and healthcare practices — that have strong lead volume needs and are a fit for a performance-based pricing model
• Lead end-to-end sales cycles from prospecting and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and contract close
• Conduct discovery conversations that uncover client lead volume goals, cost-per-lead targets, current marketing performance, and qualification criteria — and translate those into a compelling AIM partnership proposal
• Clearly articulate AIM's value proposition, pricing model, lead qualification standards, and performance expectations to prospects, including C-suite and senior marketing decision-makers
• Develop customized proposals that outline projected lead volume, qualified-lead definitions, pricing structure, and expected ROI
• Maintain a disciplined sales pipeline and CRM to track prospect status, activity, and revenue projections
• Educate prospects on the full lead lifecycle — from lead generation to contact, qualification, and appointment conversion — and position AIM as a partner across that entire funnel
• Identify opportunities to scale lead volume, expand into additional service areas, or deepen AIM’s role in the client’s acquisition funnel
• Build AIM's market presence within target verticals through strategic outreach, industry networking, conference participation, and partnership development
• Identify and cultivate referral relationships with complementary vendors, franchise consultants, industry associations, and channel partners who serve AIM's target client base
• Monitor competitor offerings, pricing models, and market positioning to ensure AIM's value proposition stays sharp and differentiated
• Collaborate with AIM leadership to develop sales collateral, case studies, and pitch materials that demonstrate AIM's performance track record and vertical expertise
• Represent AIM at industry events, trade shows, and vertical-specific conferences relevant to home services, legal, healthcare, insurance, and financial services
• Diagnose breakdowns in the prospect’s current funnel (e.g., slow response times, poor follow-up, low booking rates) and position AIM as a solution not just for lead volume, but for conversion performance
• Serve as the primary point of contact through the pre-onboarding phase, ensuring new clients have a clear understanding of the AIM model, reporting expectations, and lead qualification process
• Collaborate with AIM's operations and campaign management teams to ensure smooth client onboarding and alignment on qualified-lead definitions, delivery timelines, and performance benchmarks
• Maintain strong communication during early campaign launch to support client confidence and address questions before transitioning to the ongoing account relationship
• Identify expansion and upsell opportunities within the existing AIM client base as lead programs scale
• Ensure alignment between what was sold and how leads will be handled — including intake process, response expectations, and appointment-setting workflows

• 3+ years of experience in business development, sales, or client acquisition — with direct experience selling performance marketing, lead generation, or pay-per-lead programs strongly preferred
• Deep understanding of performance-based pricing models: cost-per-lead, cost-per-acquisition, lead qualification standards, and the economics of lead generation programs
• Proven track record of meeting and exceeding revenue and new client acquisition targets
• Experience selling into at least one of AIM's core verticals — home services, legal services, healthcare, insurance, or financial services — is a significant plus
