About The Position

OUR MISSION We firmly believe that small and medium-sized businesses are the most vital contributors to their communities. We strive every day to not only support the growth and profit improvement of American businesses, but to enrich the lives of the owners and their families. By supporting these businesses, we can directly impact the communities they serve. We meet businesses where they are. How can we help you move forward today? Build the Team. Lead the Culture. Own the Metrics. Our Business Development Coordinators (BDC) are the powerhouse of Cogent’s growth engine. This team is responsible for driving outbound prospecting efforts and fueling the success of our Regional Vice Presidents (RVPs) by setting high-quality appointments with business owners. BDCs keep our field consultants in motion, ensuring they’re in front of the right clients at the right time to drive impact and close deals. This hands-on, accelerated leadership program is designed for high-performance individuals who want to lead from the frontlines, learn our systems inside-out, and quickly move into a leadership role where they will own their team’s performance and drive the results that fuel our national sales force.
