About this opportunity
Diverse Staffing is expanding our business development efforts across Columbus, Shelbyville, and Greenwood, and we are seeking an experienced B2B Sales Representative who knows how to turn prospects into partnerships.
This is an active, field-focused role centered on new business development. You will identify and connect with manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers, logistics operations, and other light industrial employers throughout the Indiana South territory.
If you enjoy prospecting, walking into businesses, meeting decision makers, learning about their workforce challenges, and developing solutions that turn into long-term customer relationships, this could be an excellent opportunity.
This is not a remote or hybrid position. Success requires regular in-person prospecting, customer visits, networking, and daily travel throughout the assigned Columbus, Shelbyville, and Greenwood markets.

- Identify manufacturing, warehouse, logistics, distribution, and production prospects with staffing needs

- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified sales opportunities
- Schedule and conduct discovery meetings with prospective customers
- Learn each organization’s workforce challenges and recommend appropriate staffing solutions
- Present proposals and negotiate within established pricing guidelines
- Convert qualified opportunities into signed client agreements
- Own new-account development from signed agreement through credit approval, setup, kickoff, and first employee start
- Coordinate closely with branch and recruiting teams to ensure a smooth launch
- Continuing developing relationships with newly secured customers to identify additional opportunities
- Document sales activity, prospect information, opportunities, and pipeline movement in HubSpot
- Participating in local networking events and industry functions throughout the territory
What We’re Looking For

- At least 2 years of successful B2B sales experience
- Demonstrated success meeting or exceeding sales goals
- Knowledge of light industrial operations, including manufacturing, production, warehousing, distribution, or logistics

- Previous experience selling light industrial staffing or workforce solutions
- An existing professional network in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, or related industries in South Central Indiana
- Sandler Selling System training or experience
You’ll Thrive Here If You:
- Are energized by winning new business
- Enjoy spending time in the field building relationships
- Are comfortable approaching new prospects and initiating conversations
- Can move opportunities from initial contact to signed agreement
- Understand the needs of manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution customers
