Business Development & Client Acquisition Associate at TalentSquare

This role exists to own that.

You will own the top of the revenue funnel—identifying opportunities, starting conversations, and converting them into signed client briefs. If you perform well here, the business moves. If you don’t, nothing else does.

Responsibilities

• Generate a minimum of 25 qualified outreach conversations weekly (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, referrals)
• Convert outreach into Discovery Calls (target: 5 per week)
• Manage early-stage client relationships through to signed brief
• Maintain strict CRM discipline — all activity logged within 24 hours
• Submit a weekly pipeline report — clear, structured, no fluff

Non-Negotiable Standards

• Every outreach is personalized — no generic messaging
• Every conversation is logged the same day
• Every proposal is sent within 48 hours of a Discovery Call

Compensation

This is a performance-based role designed for people who want to earn based on output, not time.

• 10% of net fees on deals you originate
• 5% on deals you support (founder-originated)
• 5% of first-month Circuit margin for deployments you originate
• Earnings potential: ₦75,000 – ₦300,000/month (based on 2–4 placements)
• Payment: Within 5 - 7 days of client payment

There is no ceiling here. Your output determines your earnings.

Who This Is For

• 2–4 years in B2B sales, business development, or account management
• Experience selling services, not products
• Strong in consultative selling — you can diagnose before you pitch
• Comfortable using LinkedIn and WhatsApp as primary BD channels
• Based in Lagos
• Self-directed, disciplined, and commercially aware

Who This Is Not For

• Anyone looking for a fixed salary without performance pressure
• Anyone who needs constant supervision to execute
• Anyone uncomfortable owning a revenue target

Why This Role Matters

• Most businesses struggle with hiring because they never start the right conversations.
• This role ensures Talentsquare is consistently in front of the right companies, solving the right problems, and converting that into revenue.
