Business Development Executive – Direct-to-Family Sales

Eldercare Resource Planning

128d•$75,000 - $75,000•Remote

About The Position

We are a premier, nationwide Medicaid planning and application support service with a strategic focus on expanding our footprint across the United States. Our mission is to protect families from the devastating financial impact of long-term care costs by helping them navigate the complex Medicaid application process quickly and successfully. We work exclusively on behalf of applicants and their families — not facilities. When a family comes to us facing a Medicaid crisis, we take on the bureaucratic, legal, and logistical burden of securing benefits so they can focus on their loved one's care. Healthcare facilities — nursing homes, SNFs, hospitals, and rehab centers — are valued referral partners who connect us with the families who need us most. We are seeking high-performing Business Development Executives to drive direct client acquisition across our priority markets nationwide. This role has two equally important dimensions: building a robust referral network with healthcare facilities and social service professionals, and converting those referrals into enrolled clients by guiding families through an emotionally and financially complex decision. The families you will serve are often in crisis — a loved one has just been admitted to a nursing home, Medicaid has been denied, or they are watching their savings disappear. You will be the person who shows them there is a solution.

Requirements

5+ years of sales experience, with a strong preference for B2C, consultative, or high-empathy sales environments (senior care, financial services, elder law, healthcare, home care, hospice, insurance).
Experience selling directly to families or individuals navigating healthcare, financial, or legal decisions is highly valued.
Prior experience building referral networks with healthcare providers, social workers, or discharge planners is a significant advantage.

Deep understanding of your local healthcare and senior care landscape is strongly preferred.
Familiarity with state Medicaid programs or long-term care funding is a plus but not required.
The ability to connect with families in crisis, earn their trust quickly, and guide them to a confident decision without pressure.
A self-starter who proactively builds pipeline, follows up relentlessly, and thrives in a remote, autonomous environment.
Clear, warm, and persuasive across phone, video, and in-person settings. You can explain complex topics in plain language.
Ability to manage a multi-stage pipeline across referral development and active client prospects simultaneously.
Comfortable working with families facing emotionally difficult circumstances without burning out.
