Job Details We are seeking a highly motivated Business Development Manager / Territory Sales Representative to drive new business within the commercial equipment installation, repair, and service industry. The ideal candidate is a proven hunter with experience selling commercial overhead doors, loading dock equipment, gates, elevators, commercial HVAC, mechanical services, industrial equipment, or other related technical products and services. While direct industry experience is highly valued, we will also consider exceptional sales professionals from adjacent commercial service and equipment industries who demonstrate a strong history of prospecting, territory development, and exceeding sales goals. This is primarily a new-business development role, not an account management position. What You'll Do ● Prospect, identify, and develop new business opportunities throughout an assigned territory. ● Build relationships with commercial property managers, facility managers, warehouse operators, general contractors, and industrial customers. ● Sell commercial equipment installation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and related service solutions. ● Conduct on-site customer visits, facility assessments, and needs evaluations. ● Identify opportunities for preventative maintenance agreements, service contracts, equipment upgrades, and new installations. ● Work closely with estimating and operations teams to develop accurate proposals, pricing, and project scopes. ● Prepare, present, negotiate, and follow up on customer proposals. ● Pursue commercial construction, general contractor, and municipal bid opportunities. ● Build and manage a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities. ● Maintain accurate CRM records, sales activity, forecasts, and customer communications. ● Develop relationships with key decision-makers and establish long-term customer partnerships. ● Collaborate with service managers and field operations teams to ensure customer satisfaction and successful project execution. ● Consistently achieve or exceed sales activity, revenue, and new-business development goals. What We're Looking For Required Qualifications ● Proven success in B2B sales, territory development, or outside business development. ● Demonstrated ability to generate new business through proactive prospecting, cold calling, networking, and relationship building. ● Strong preference for experience in commercial overhead doors, loading docks, gates, elevators, commercial HVAC, mechanical services, or related commercial equipment industries. ● Experience selling commercial products, equipment, repair services, installation projects, or maintenance agreements. ● Strong understanding of territory management, pipeline development, and consultative selling. ● Ability to conduct customer site visits, identify needs, and collaborate on technical solutions. ● Strong communication, negotiation, presentation, and relationship-building skills. ● Self-motivated, competitive, and comfortable working independently in a field-based sales environment. ● Ability to manage multiple opportunities and consistently follow through with prospects and customers. Preferred Qualifications ● Direct experience selling commercial overhead doors, dock levelers, loading dock equipment, or gate systems. ● Experience selling elevator, commercial HVAC, mechanical, industrial equipment, or facility maintenance solutions. ● Established relationships with commercial property managers, facility managers, contractors, or industrial customers. ● Experience selling preventative maintenance agreements, recurring service contracts, or equipment replacement projects. ● Familiarity with estimating, construction bids, project scopes, or technical equipment specifications. ● Experience using CRM systems to manage sales pipelines and forecasts. ● Track record of exceeding sales quotas, ranking among top performers, or successfully developing new territories. What Success Looks Like ● You're someone who enjoys opening doors, not just maintaining existing relationships. ● You actively prospect, build relationships with decision-makers, and uncover opportunities that others might miss. ● You understand that successful commercial sales require more than simply presenting a product. You identify customer problems, collaborate with technical teams, and deliver solutions that create long-term value. ● You take ownership of your territory, consistently build your pipeline, and are motivated by unlimited earning potential. Career Growth ● High-performing sales professionals may have opportunities to advance into senior business development, territory leadership, regional sales management, or broader sales leadership roles as the organization continues to expand. ● Compensation: Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission.
