Position Summary
The Business Advisor is BlueprintIQ’s core client-facing sales and advisory role. This position is responsible for developing client relationships, conducting discovery conversations, identifying business needs, aligning solutions, and guiding prospective and existing clients through the advisory sales process.
The Business Advisor acts as a trusted point of contact for businesses seeking clarity around strategy, operations, technology, data, marketing, AI, cybersecurity, cloud services, communications, and scalable growth. This role requires consultative selling, disciplined follow-up, strong business judgment, and the ability to translate client challenges into structured solution pathways.

· Ensure recommendations remain vendor-neutral, outcomes-driven, and aligned with the client’s objectives.
Relationship Management
· Build long-term relationships with business owners, executives, department leaders, and decision-makers.
· Serve as a trusted advisor before, during, and after the sale.
· Support client retention, renewal, upsell, cross-sell, and referral opportunities.
