[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Position: Full Time – 40 hours

Reports to: President

Summary:

Proof Digital is an Indianapolis-based Digital Marketing firm that works with customers to customize the best and most effective mix of online marketing services – from PPC and email campaigns to SEO-based responsive websites – to drive measurable results that ultimately move the needle and increase sales.

Proof Digital’s Business Development Manager is responsible for developing, generating and growing new digital marketing business, creating innovative online marketing sales plans and exhibiting expertise in digital marketing solutions. This includes selling website development, SEO, SEM, PPC, social media, online reputation management, ecommerce services and more.

Selling of these services will be done nationally, with a local focus on Indianapolis.

The position demands an entrepreneurial minded individual with high energy and strong motivation to sell. All sales will fall directly to the Business Development Manager, with mid to end-of-cycle support from the owner of the company. The Business Development Manager is expected to do the front-end heavy lifting by creating target lists, maintaining a daily discipline of prospect outreach and “cold calling”, follow-up on digital leads and finding opportunities to network despite the obvious challenges with COVID-19. While you will have the opportunity to participate in the entire sales process, you will be the only team member with prospecting responsibilities, so this will need to be where you spend the majority of your time, and probably what you enjoy most.

The Proof Digital team has moved to being fully remote. No one will be looking over your shoulder every day to make sure you are accountable to activities. You need to be self-driven and able to effectively manage the responsibilities of the role with little direction. While the Proof team is all remote, they do work quite well together and maintain a high degree of team-connectedness. You will be provided with many resources across the team to train and get up to speed on products and services and receive direct support from the owner.

In a nutshell, we are looking for candidates with a proven track record of success driving revenue (e.g., ability to capture and close the deal), fierce work ethic, excellent communication skills and understanding of digital marketing, mobile, ecommerce and SEO advertising solutions.

• Strong new business development skills.
