Career Change to Sales - Account Management

Ready for a Career Change?

This Business Development Manager in Houston TX is a role built for driven people who want more from their next chapter.

Maybe you’re not unhappy in your current job — you’ve learned a lot, built meaningful skills, and gained real experience.
But lately, something’s been nudging you:

You want more growth, more opportunity, more connection.
You want a career where your effort actually drives your income.
You want to feel motivated, challenged, and excited again.
And you want a clearer, faster path forward.

If that’s you, a career change into sales with Creative Financial Staffing (CFS) might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Why People Make the Jump to CFS

Our top performers didn’t all come from sales — far from it. They came from:

• Retail leadership and management
• Teaching and education
• B2B or service sales
• Hospitality and event sales
• Higher ed roles (admissions, career services, alumni engagement)
• Fundraising and donor relations
• Recruiting or staffing
• Accounting and finance roles
• Collegiate athletics or coaching

Every one of them had something in common:
They wanted to grow. They wanted more control over their success. And they wanted a career with higher earning potential.

If that’s you? You’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do as a Business Development Manager

In this role, you’ll be a connector — a relationship-builder who helps companies solve real hiring challenges.

You will:

• Break into new accounts and grow existing relationships
• Sell staffing & executive search services to accounting & finance leaders
• Meet with hiring managers to learn about their teams, challenges, and needs
• Work closely with Recruiters who fill the positions you bring in
• Manage accounts long-term and provide exceptional service
• Learn a ton about different industries, business models, and people

This is a role where curiosity, drive, energy, and people skills matter far more than your past job title.
