B2B Business Development Manager

Job Description

Exciting Opportunity!

B2B Business Development Manager

Location: Richmond, Virginia | Industrial & Commercial Accounts

Compensation: $70,000 Guaranteed First-Year Compensation + Residual Commissions that are Uncapped

Our client, a well-established national specialty chemicals manufacturer, is seeking a driven, entrepreneurial B2B Outside Sales Representative to develop and grow its Richmond, Virginia, territory.

This is an excellent opportunity for a competitive, self-motivated sales professional with 2–5 years of B2B sales experience who wants to take ownership of a territory, build lasting customer relationships, and create substantial long-term earning potential.

About Our Client

Our client is a privately held, nationally established specialty chemical manufacturer with more than 40 years of experience serving commercial and industrial customers. With more than 50 locations nationwide and a reputation for quality products, exceptional service, and long-term customer relationships, the company continues to grow. Their business model offers sales professionals a unique advantage: recurring customer purchases that create opportunities for ongoing residual commissions. Unlike traditional sales positions where you’re constantly starting over each month, this opportunity allows you to build a portfolio of accounts that can continue generating commission income as customers reorder.

About The Role

As a B2B Outside Sales Representative, you will be responsible for developing new commercial and industrial accounts throughout the greater Richmond market. Your primary focus will be identifying prospective customers, conducting face-to-face sales presentations, understanding their operational needs, and introducing customized chemical solutions that improve their business operations. You’ll work with customers across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, food production, industrial facilities, transportation, and other commercial operations. Once you’ve established a customer relationship, you’ll continue managing and growing that account while the company’s operations team handles product deliveries, refills, and ongoing service support.

This is a consultative, relationship-driven sales opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, meeting customers in person, closing business, and building a territory for the long term.
