This role is designed for a motivated business development professional who is confident in building relationships both in person and online. You will represent StellarBlue.ai throughout the local business community by attending networking events, developing strategic partnerships, and creating new opportunities with businesses across the region.

The primary focus of this role is selling Stellar Audience IQ, our lead intelligence solution that helps businesses identify qualified opportunities, uncover buyer interest, and turn website traffic into actionable sales conversations. In addition to selling Audience IQ, this role also includes selling the marketing services that help maximize its performance, including PPC campaigns, email marketing initiatives, landing pages, and direct marketing opportunities.

What you’ll be doing

• Build and grow StellarBlue.ai’s business development presence in the Fort Myers and Southwest Florida market
• Attend in-person networking events, chamber functions, business gatherings, and trade associations throughout the region
• Develop relationships with local businesses, referral partners, agencies, and key decision-makers
• Prospect, qualify, and close new business opportunities for Stellar Audience IQ
• Use Audience IQ itself as a sales tool to identify qualified leads and support online outbound business development efforts
• Combine local networking and digital prospecting to create a steady flow of qualified opportunities
• Sell complementary marketing services that enhance Audience IQ performance, including PPC, email marketing, landing pages, and direct marketing initiatives
• Conduct discovery meetings, demos, presentations, and consultative sales conversations
• Build recommendations that connect lead intelligence with campaign strategy and conversion opportunities
• Manage pipeline activity through CRM tools and disciplined follow-up
• Collaborate with internal strategy, marketing, and production teams to align recommendations with client goals

What you’ll be selling

You will be selling:

• Email marketing initiatives to nurture leads and support follow-up strategies
• Landing page opportunities to improve campaign conversion performance
• Direct marketing opportunities that help businesses act on identified audience segments and sales opportunities

Why this role matters
