Description

DESCRIPTION
Planet Propaganda is a design and advertising agency in Madison, WI that conspires with ambitious challenger brands to upend the communication status quo. Our clients include national brands like Duluth Trading Company, Jersey Mike’s Subs, and Broyhill Furniture. We’re seeking an entrepreneurial New Business Developer with sales experience in the creative, advertising, or marketing fields to help us always be on the lookout for new kindred clients to partner with.

Are you the one? You are energetic, confident, intrinsically motivated, charismatic, and a great listener. You have a high EQ, and feel empathy for the prospect’s situation, leading the sales process in a deeply human way. You’re resilient and handle rejection well. You know a “yes” is great, but “no” is usually the second best answer.

You’re a social chameleon, an optimist, and a creative problem solver. You have an independent streak, but collaborate with the best of them. You’re proactive, giving relationships the extra effort needed to start and keep them strong. You’re most likely a ESFP or an ENTP.

RESPONSIBILITIES
You’ll be responsible for managing and coordinating our New Business efforts — seeking out and identifying prospective clients looking to challenge their industries with compelling work.

You’ll develop a pipeline of prospects in a CRM and connect and follow up with them through all available channels, from email and LinkedIn to cold calls and FedEx.

You’ll help develop then leverage New Business marketing materials such as case studies, landing pages, proposals, white papers, and more.

You’ll develop a public persona and become an active part of the communities where our prospects spend time. You’ll actively make connections within them, along with Planet leadership.
