Business Development Advisor
Home Instead – Columbia, MO
Salary: $65,000–$70,000 + performance bonuses
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM–4:30 PM
Tired of Seeing Gaps in Senior Care — and Want to Do Something About It?
If you’ve worked in healthcare or senior living, you’ve likely seen it:
Families struggling to navigate options
Partners trying to solve complex situations with limited resources
Older adults who deserve better support than the system can provide
At Home Instead Columbia, this role gives you the opportunity to step out of the constraints of traditional care settings and become a connector, problem-solver, and trusted partner in your community.
We’re looking for a Business Development Advisor who is naturally curious, relationship-driven, and motivated by helping older adults access the long-term care they deserve.
Who This Role Is For
This role is ideal for professionals with experience in:
Home health or hospice outreach
Senior living or healthcare sales
Clinical roles with referral coordination exposure
Healthcare liaison or community relations roles
…but more importantly, someone who:
Asks thoughtful questions before offering solutions
Leans into complexity instead of avoiding it
Cares deeply about outcomes for older adults and their families
The Role
As the face of Home Instead in the Columbia market, you will build and manage relationships with referral partners who trust you to help solve real challenges for the older adults and families they serve.
This is a relationship-driven role with clear ownership and autonomy within a proven, consultative approach to growth.
You will:
Own and grow a defined territory
Build trust with key referral sources
Stay consistently engaged through thoughtful follow-up
Use a consultative, needs-based approach to understand partner challenges and align solutions
Connect families to care options that allow them to remain safely at home
Your work is not just about generating referrals — it’s about helping people find the right path forward.
What You’ll Do
Build and deepen relationships with hospitals, physicians, rehab centers, and senior care partners
Stay actively engaged in your territory with consistent, purposeful outreach
Ask strong questions, uncover needs, and position Home Instead as a trusted solution
Maintain a clear pipeline of relationships and next steps
Represent Home Instead at community events and partner meetings
Collaborate internally to ensure strong client onboarding and outcomes
What Success Looks Like
You are known and trusted by key partners in your market
You follow through consistently and build long-term relationships
You identify opportunities others overlook
You turn conversations into meaningful support for families
Your territory shows steady, sustainable growth over time
Who Thrives in This Role
You’ll be a strong fit if you:
Have experience in healthcare or senior care and understand how referrals work
Are naturally curious and ask better questions than most
Prefer a consultative sales approach over transactional selling
Are both relationship-driven and disciplined in your follow-through
Take ownership of your work without needing constant direction
Are comfortable working independently in the field
Care deeply about helping older adults receive the care they deserve
This role is best suited for someone who wants to build something meaningful over time — not chase quick wins.
What We Offer
Competitive base salary + performance incentives
Company vehicle or mileage reimbursement
Paid training and ongoing development
Supportive leadership and collaborative team culture
Autonomy in how you build relationships and execute within a proven system
Career growth opportunities within a growing organization
