About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

As a Business Development Representative, you’ll open doors for Salesforce across New Zealand, starting conversations in new industries and building the pipeline our Account Executives turn into wins. If you’re ambitious, comfortable on the phone and keen to make an impact early in your sales career, this is the role.

What you’ll do

• Generate new business opportunities across your territory
• Build and prioritise target account lists
• Research prospects and make the case for engaging them, through calls, emails and tailored outreach
• Hold high-level conversations with senior executives
• Hit monthly targets for qualified opportunities and closed business
• Partner with experienced Account Executives to fill their pipeline while you build your own skills
• Give every prospect a first impression that’s professional, helpful and memorable
• Champion Salesforce and the cloud model

What We're Looking For

• Clear, confident communicator; comfortable on the phone and in writing
• Self-motivated and resilient, with a bias for action
• Curious and coachable, with a genuine growth mindset
• Able to think on your feet and adapt quickly
• Track record of hitting targets or critical metrics (any field)
• Prospecting or cold-calling experience is a strong plus, not a requirement

This is a sales role, and we believe in being transparent about what success looks like. Your impact will be measured through clear, achievable monthly goals for qualified opportunities and team-closed business. We're looking for self-motivated, resilient individuals who thrive in a goal-oriented environment and we'll give you the framework to hit those goals.

Posting Statement

Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
