Business Development Manager Jobs in San Diego, CA

Part-Time | Weekday Mornings | Entry-Level

The Maids of San Diego is looking for a motivated, organized, and tech-savvy Junior Sales Associate to support our growing commercial business.

This is a hands-on opportunity for a college student, recent graduate, or early-career candidate who wants practical experience in sales, business development, marketing, and business operations.

No extensive sales experience is required. We're looking for someone who is comfortable talking to people, learns technology quickly, follows through, and is interested in using new tools—including AI—to work smarter and help grow a business.

What You'll Do

• Call and follow up with new and existing sales leads.
• Ask basic qualifying questions and schedule appointments.
• Keep our CRM accurate with notes, lead status, and follow-up tasks.
• Help prepare quotes and proposals using our established process.
• Assist with general sales and administrative tasks as needed.
• Support marketing activities, including simple social media posts and content.
• Use AI tools to help create, improve, and repurpose marketing content and support sales activities.
• Help organize customer, sales, and marketing information.

A meaningful part of this role involves making phone calls and following up with prospects, so you should be comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations.

Who We're Looking For

• Tech-savvy and quick to learn new software, apps, CRM systems, and digital tools.
• Comfortable using or interested in learning AI tools such as ChatGPT and other AI-powered marketing/productivity tools.
• Comfortable with spreadsheets, email, calendars, and social media.
• Confident, friendly, and professional on the phone.
• Organized, dependable, and detail-oriented.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Able to follow a process and work independently after training.
• Curious, resourceful, and interested in learning how technology and AI can improve sales and marketing.

Prior experience experimenting with AI is preferred but not required. This can include school projects, internships, freelance work, personal projects, social media/content creation, or simply using AI tools to solve real problems. We care more about what you've tried and learned than having formal AI credentials.

What You'll Gain

You'll get hands-on experience working with real prospects and customers while learning how leads move from initial contact to appointments, quotes, and new business.

You'll also gain practical experience with CRM systems, AI tools, marketing, sales, and the day-to-day operations of a growing local business.

Schedule

Part-time, weekday mornings. This may be a great fit for a college student with afternoon or evening classes. Exact hours can be discussed based on availability.
