The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Big Lots is hiring a Business Development Representative in Raleigh, NC.

• Role description

  Forget the funnel metaphor for a second: Big Lots's next Business Development Representative in Raleigh cares about momentum, and Channel Sales is how you create it. The sales marketing charter, the $80,000 - $115,000, the 6-year ask — all of it points to a Big Lots role built for owners, not order-takers.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Pitch upsells that feel like favors, not invoices
  • Segment audiences and personalize outreach to lift response rates
  • Pitch, listen, adjust, and pitch again until the sales marketing deal lands
  • Keep the CRM honest so forecasts at Big Lots mean something
  • Use BANT Qualification and Sales Enablement tools to automate and scale outbound efforts
  • Feed sales the Cold Emailing signals that say a buyer is ready now
  • Chase the sales marketing whitespace no rep in NC has worked
  • Carry the NC number and the relationships that make it real

  What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on proficiency with Customer Service, ideally paired with Sales Enablement
  • Calm under the transparent chaos a senior role tends to generate
  • Around 7+ years of hands-on experience in a sales marketing role
  • Ability to learn new sales marketing systems quickly and apply them effectively

  The whole point of Big Lots is to make Active Listening dependable, and that hands-dirty mission has anchored it in Raleigh from day one. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.

  This temporary role pays $80,000 - $115,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your BANT Qualification expertise.

  Fresh as of this morning, Big Lots marked the senior seat available.
