Job Description
Account Executive – Sales, Central Illinois Region (Peoria-Based)
Grow local business. Build lasting relationships. Make your mark with AAIM.
At AAIM Employers' Association, we believe strong businesses build strong communities-and we help make that happen every day.
When you join AAIM, you join a community. You'll represent a respected organization that's deeply woven into the fabric of Central Illinois-connecting with local businesses, chambers, and leaders who count on us as a resource and partner. As an Account Executive, you won't just sell services; you'll champion local employers by connecting them with tools and expertise that make their workplaces stronger, safer, and more successful. You'll be the person who knows everyone-from chamber mixers to ribbon cuttings-and the one they call when they need help navigating the people side of business.
What You'll Do
- Grow your territory: Prospect, develop, and close new memberships across Central Illinois using a consultative, value-based sales approach.
- Engage existing members: Strengthen relationships and uncover new opportunities within your assigned book of business.
- Lead local visibility: Represent AAIM at community events, ribbon cuttings, chamber meetings, and professional associations-building trust and visibility through authentic engagement.
- Collaborate for success: Partner with internal subject-matter experts to deliver complete HR and training solutions.
- Drive results: Manage your sales pipeline in Salesforce, meet revenue goals, and celebrate wins that make an impact on local employers.
What You'll Bring
- 3–5 years of B2B sales or consultative account management experience with a record of meeting or exceeding goals.
- A passion and record of success in helping businesses grow and succeed through trusted relationships and smart solutions.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
- A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently, manage your schedule responsibly, and stay aligned with team goals.
- A passion for community involvement-you're energized by connecting with people, showing up, and representing a cause you believe in.
This is a full-time exempt role (Mon. thru Fri., 8am to 5pm, with some flexibility). Expect about 10 to 20% travel across Central IL and St. Louis, MO - because the best connections still happen face-to-face.
Pay Range: $75,000 to $115,000 (OTE Base plus Commission)
Benefits Overview: Health/Dental/Vision insurance, FSA, Paid Time Off, 401k, Company Provided Basic Life Insurance
