What to Expect

Wonderist Agency is a full-service marketing agency that supports 1,200+ dentists around the country. We pride ourselves on ditching the old fashioned marketing model of stock photos and templated sites. We strive to tell our clients’ stories with bespoke brands, impactful photo and video shoots, and stunning website design (Here is a great example of our work: www.valordentaltx.com)

We’re a team of over 90+ passionate marketers with our headquarters nestled in sunny San Diego. We are walking distance from local hangouts, bars, and the famed Liberty Station. While many companies simply check the required boxes when it comes to culture, a well-balanced team and positive office culture has been the core of our success from the start. We are a social team at heart, and that is one constant that hasn’t changed with all the movement this economy and industry has seen. We have embraced a hybrid work model where local team members come in at least two days a week. This allows us to work from home and have flexibility, without altogether forgoing the excitement and moments of collaboration and inspiration you can only get from in-person time. Not to mention, we also genuinely enjoy spending time together and socializing.

We celebrate new ideas and prioritize a culture of trust and respect where team members can grow and take risks. Each quarter we host events under our four cultural pillars; health & wellness, personal & professional development, social good, and social. We are proud to have been named: San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in: 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Inc 5000 Regionals Fastest Growing Companies in: 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, San Diego Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Inc Best Workplaces list in: 2024 and 2025, and Inc. 5000 for the last 6 years (2019-2025)!

If you work at Wonderist, you likely enjoy a challenge, appreciate autonomy, actually care about clients, and are looking for a team that you can enjoy being part of.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

We are looking for an experienced sales executive to join our team and help lead business growth. Wonderist Agency’s founders have lead sales growth for the last 5 years. After 80% growth in 2018, there are more leads than ever and Wonderist Agency is ready to begin building out a formal sales team. The perfect person for this role will feel comfortable understanding and selling digital and local marketing solutions. This candidate should be goal-oriented and have a strong handle on software and digital marketing. We are also looking for someone with management experience who can help build out our sales team in 2019. Experience in the dental or medical field is a plus.

The Business Development Manager will be expected to lead sales calls, prepare proposals, and collaborate with our internal marketing department on campaigns to drive new leads. Wonderist Agency has proven pipelines that deliver weekly leads. Leads are cultivated through emails and online chat before converting to an initial exploratory phone call. We have found success closing deals by educating clients not “selling them”. It’s important that our sales team have our clients best interest in mind at all times. This role will require some travel to national and regional conferences. Our ideal candidate will enjoy talking to and meeting with prospective clients and existing clients in person to discuss their marketing needs.

  1. Communication: You will lead sales emails and sales phone calls. Clear communication about client needs, our products, and next steps is a must. Clear communication with the rest of our team about deal flow, internal marketing campaigns, and business development updates is also a must. At Wonderist our motto is “The best dental marketing with a smile!” Having a positive, friendly, client first attitude is a must.
  2. Organization: Organization is key to the success of this role. We have a robust CRM that you will use to manage leads, track deal flow, and measure results. Additionally, keeping client communication organized is necessary so we always have prompt follow-ups and quick delivery of proposals and other assets.
  3. Analysis: We measure everything we do by its ROI for our clients. In addition to collecting and evaluating monthly practice performance numbers, you will need to be comfortable working in our reporting dashboard to understand the success of SEO, PPC, Social Media, Print, and other campaigns to help support your sales efforts. Finding and developing case studies and showcasing success stories is central to our sales success.
  4. Results-Focused: While we like to have fun, we still grind for the bottom line. Setting clear goals and meeting them is a must. One of our company values is “No excuses.” Excuses are for them, not for us. Winners win. Period.
