Groupon Hiring for Business Development Representative Job at Dubai Full Time

Our Business Development teams focus on building partnerships with new Groupon merchants. We spend our days learning about what makes small-business tick and how to craft unique marketing campaigns to help them reach their targeted audiences. Our expertise ultimately creates jobs and drives economies as we help local merchants thrive.

As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you’ll focus on finding and closing new small-sized businesses for the Groupon platform. Starting day 1, you’ll receive hands-on professional sales training and learn the core skills needed to be successful long term. Through our training program, you’ll learn about customer relationship building, Groupon’s sales process, sales strategy, sales psychology, and more. You’ll use the skills developed in this training to make connections, grow partnerships, and scale the businesses we have on our site – both big and small.

We’re a “best of both worlds” kind of company. We’re big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We’re curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?

And best of all, we believe in helping people grow within the sales organization. We have a dedicated training staff and programs to take anyone to the next level.

• Drive market growth for both quality of merchants and revenue

• Accountable and balance multiple priorities flawlessly

• Committed to a high standard of integrity and work ethic

• You’re an excellent listener and can also be assertive, persistent, and persuasive
