-Collaborating with a diversely skilled team to continuously improve
-Being empowered as an owner and expert
-Being motivated by improving how people access employee benefits
The Role:
A Market Development Executive (MDE) is a key in-market sales role at Beam, responsible for establishing and expanding as many partnerships as possible with brokerages in a territory. This starts with discovery and pursuit of new prospective brokerages and working with them to help them understand Beam's differentiators in order to expand their business. A variety of tactics (e.g. cold calling, email, web conferencing) are deployed in order to develop the relationship and educate brokers in order to work through a high volume of proposals to win new clients. The goal is to both establish a high number of broker partners as well as secure repeat business from some brokers as quickly as possible.
At a high-growth company like Beam, there is an expectation of every role to continually contribute to improve processes and best practices internally, and our data-driven approach requires a high level of organization and accuracy of sales data -- both are true for the MDE as well.
We need MDEs who can quickly learn the dental insurance business and can help lead Beam's growth in a market. A successful MDE thinks strategically and executes tactically, adapts quickly and does whatever it takes to succeed.
