Sobre esta vaga de Business Development Manager- Dallas, TX na Groupon
Groupon connects 42 million customers with local experiences - restaurants, events, wellness and travel - and the million-plus merchants who deliver them. Our mission is to get people offline and into the real world at prices that make it possible. We're an AI-native company in the middle of a platform transformation, moving from a deals marketplace to an experience discovery platform that works for customers and merchants at the same time.
Business Development Representative | Dallas, TX
The Role
Individual contributor, quota-carrying sales role. As a Territory Account Executive you'll find, develop, and close new merchant partnerships for Groupon. You're not managing a team: you own your own book of business and your own results.
You'll go through a structured onboarding program before ramping into a full pipeline, and you'll work alongside a small, focused cohort building out this market from the ground up.
What You'll Do
- Generate new business by cold-calling and prospecting local merchants
- Manage the full sales cycle: outreach, consultation, negotiation, close
- Own contract negotiation, including margins, discounts, and deal structure within Groupon guardrails
- Develop real fluency in each merchant's business and position Groupon as the right growth lever
- Retain account ownership through the first 30 days post-launch, then maintain the merchant relationship for a further 90 days
- Work across a real multi-system stack day to day (Salesforce, Salesloft, deal-management tools) and use AI tools to speed up research, outreach, and follow-up
- Hit ramp targets that build over your first 90 days rather than a flat quota from day one (below)
- Partner with the Merchant team post-close for a smooth transition
What We're Looking For
- 2–3+ years of full-cycle business development or outbound sales experience, with a track record of hitting quota; this is not an entry-level seat
- Experience selling to local or small-business owners strongly preferred; comfort with consultative, multi-call sales cycles (not high-volume transactional calling)
- Prior exposure to a multi-system sales stack (CRM + dialer + a deal or order-management tool)
- Comfortable being tech-forward: switching tools quickly, using AI to research accounts and speed up outreach
- Resilient in a new-market build: no established playbook yet, no tenured manager who's run this team before: you're building some of this alongside your manager
Who You Are
- Self-aware about what you're good at and where you'll need coaching, and you ask for that coaching
- Goal-oriented: you track your own pace against target rather than waiting to be told you're behind
- Coachable: you take feedback and change behavior, not just nod
- Motivated without a scoreboard someone else is watching: the follow-up work happens whether or not it's visible
- Adaptable when a deal or a week doesn't go to plan: you diagnose before you just push harder
- Someone who does right by the merchant and the team even when it costs you a number
What We Offer
- Competitive pay
- Hybrid Dallas, TX
- Benefits starting the 1st of the month after your start date: medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA, EAP, 401(k) match, ESPP
