Human Resources Sales Representative

HR Sales - Small Business Solutions Specialist – B2B Sales (HR, Benefits & Insurance Consulting)

Location

Akron, OH (serving the Greater Akron / Northeast Ohio region) onsite, with time in the field visiting clients at their locations throughout Akron, OH.

Overview

Small business owners with under 15 employees need a trusted advisor who actually understands payroll, benefits, and HR but often don't have enough work to support a full-time HR Generalist with that knowledge and experience. That's the gap our client fills, and it's why they're growing!

Our client is a well-established, tight-knit HR consulting and employee benefits firm serving small businesses (mostly 10–100 employees) across Northeast Ohio. They've built their reputation the old-fashioned way through relationships, retention, and results and their average team member sticks around 8–10 years due to competent, caring leadership that recognizes and rewards great results. Join a team where people are expected to show up, add value, and lift each other up.

This is a newly created role, built specifically to give a driven salesperson room to run prospecting, managing warm leads, closing, and cross-selling two complementary service lines (HR consulting and employee benefits/insurance) under one roof.

Day to Day Role

• Prospect and manage a full sales pipeline outbound outreach, working pre-qualified marketing leads, and converting warm inbounds
• Build and present proposals directly to business owners and decision-makers
• Cross-sell HR consulting and insurance/benefits services into the same client base
• Represent the company at 2–4 networking events per month, building referral partner relationships that compound over time
• Coordinate closely with HR consultants and benefit specialists to scope and deliver client solutions
• Lead onboarding for newly signed clients
• Keep the CRM current and accurate to support forecasting and team visibility

Compensation & Perks

• Base + Commission: $55K–$65K base, uncapped commission structure
• On-Target Earnings: $85K–$140k+ (top performers have earned well beyond this)
• Insurance Referral Commission: Ongoing monthly commission on referred insurance business
• HR Services Commission: Tiered commission per signed HR client for 2 years
• Certification/Licensing Bonus: Optional, company pays for HR certification or insurance licensing, plus a $1,000–$5,000 bonus upon completion
• Spot Bonuses: $500–$2,500 discretionary bonus for hitting earnings targets
• Gas Card: Provided for field travel to visit clients
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm
• Ramp-Up Support: Structured 90-day onboarding period
• Health Benefits: Medical, vision, dental, long-term disability, life, short-term disability, and voluntary life eligible the 1st of the month following 30 days
• 401(k): Company match

Growth Path

One of the reasons the company has retained employees for so long is they create roles designed to scale with you from managing your own book of business, to a future sales leadership track, to lateral moves into consulting or insurance specialties, to owning a regional or industry niche as the team grows. They consider where your passion and skills intersect and help you carve out a career path that aligns with their business trajectory.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of proven business to business sales experience (required)
• Ideally 3–5 years in a B2B role payroll, commercial banking, inside/outside commercial sales, IT services, accounting services, or another business-owner-facing capacity
• Track record of sustained success and tenure in past sales roles
• CRM experience
• No degree required
• Nice to have: insurance license, insurance industry background, or Go High Level experience
