Job Description
About the Role
This is not a traditional sales position.
We are looking for someone who thrives on building real relationships, connecting with business owners, and creating opportunities through trust and credibility. This role is highly relationship-driven and community-focused.
You will serve as the front door of HR-Rethought — representing our brand in the market, developing strategic partnerships, and helping drive company growth.
If you enjoy being out in the community, meeting leaders, and turning relationships into long-term business opportunities, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do
- Spend the majority of your time networking, meeting business leaders, and building relationships in the community
- Identify and connect with business owners, executives, and referral partners
- Generate new opportunities for HR and Recruiting services
- Set meetings for yourself and other members of the leadership team when appropriate
- Close business opportunities independently and collaborate with the CEO on larger opportunities when needed
- Build and maintain a strong network of referral partners including attorneys, CPAs, private equity groups, consultants, and business leaders
- Stay informed on market trends and business challenges to identify where HR-Rethought can provide value
- Maintain consistent follow-up and relationship management with prospects and partners
What Success Looks Like
- Consistently bringing qualified opportunities into the business
- Building a strong and trusted professional network in Kansas City and surrounding markets
- Converting relationships into long-term clients
- Knowing when to lead opportunities independently and when to involve other team members
- Driving measurable business growth — not just staying busy networking
What We’re Looking For
- Strong relationship-building and networking skills
- Comfortable engaging with business owners and executive leaders
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
- Consistent follow-through and strong communication skills
- Ability to ask for business professionally and confidently without being overly transactional
- High integrity and a long-term relationship mindset
- Experience in business development, partnerships, staffing, HR services, recruiting, consulting, or B2B sales is preferred
What This Role Is Not
- An inside sales position
- A marketing or social media role
- Simply attending networking events and handing out business cards
- A structured, behind-the-desk corporate role
This is a growth-focused position built around relationships, visibility, and business development.
Compensation & Growth
- Competitive base salary
- Commission structure tied to revenue generated
- Significant growth opportunity as the company continues to expand
