Sales Talent That Moves the Number
Edmonton Business Development & Sales Recruitment
Hunters, Farmers, and Real Growth
Build Pipeline, Protect Accounts
Every sales team needs two engines. Business Development creates new revenue by prospecting, opening doors, and advancing first meetings. Account Management grows what you already won by protecting relationships, expanding lines, and locking in renewals. We help you hire both, tuned to your market and sales cycle.
Vacant sales seats cost you daily. Missed demos, slower quotes, and idle territories lead to shrinking funnels. Morale drops when the team carries extra load. We cut vacancy time, present proven producers, and keep pipeline coverage high so your forecast holds.
You get shortlists of candidates with real wins in markets like yours. We verify quotas, margins, sales cycles, and vertical expertise. Expect people who know complex B2B selling, navigate plants and procurement, and can read a territory map fast.
We keep hiring simple. Clear intake, market scan, outreach, structured interviews, and reference checks. Choose a monthly Talent Partnership or a project fee. Every placement includes a 90-day replacement guarantee for peace of mind.
01. Sales Leadership & Strategy
Revenue Leaders Who Set the Pace
Hire leaders who set targets, coach reps, and forecast with accuracy. We place builders who install repeatable process, tighten pipeline hygiene, and raise win rates. They balance hunting and farming, align with operations, marketing, and supply chain, and run clear cadences such as QBRs, deal reviews, and ride-alongs that lift productivity and predictability.
- Vice President of Sales
- Director of Sales
- Sales Manager
- Enterprise Sales Executive
02. Account Growth & Enterprise Accounts
Keep Customers and Grow Share
Keep and grow your best accounts with focused ownership. We recruit Account Managers and Key Account leads who protect renewals, expand product mix, and earn trusted status with buyers and ops. They run QBRs, manage SLAs, handle price moves, and coordinate multi-site rollouts with clean handoffs to service and supply chain.
- Account Executive
- Account Manager
- Key Account Manager
- Territory Manager
03. Pipeline, Field & Technical Sales
Open Doors and Win Complex Deals
Keep the top of the funnel full and move complex opportunities to close. We recruit ISR and OSR talent, channel reps, technical sellers, and sales engineers who prospect with intent, qualify fast, and run disciplined follow up. Expect people who build territory plans, book demos, respond to RFQs, work with distributors, and win spec-in across B2B and industrial markets.
- Business Development Representative
- ISR — Inside Sales Representative
- OSR — Outside Sales Representative
- Sales Representative
- Channel Sales Representative
