Business Development Specialist

This is not a sit-at-home sales job. This is an in-person, field-based position working from our Woodbury office. ICC Restoration & Cleaning Services (ICC) is looking for an experienced, motivated, and competitive Outside Sales / Business Development Representative to develop new business relationships and grow strategic partnerships throughout the Twin Cities market. For 37 years, ICC has built its reputation by helping residential and commercial property owners, property managers, and facility Directors recover from water, fire, smoke, storm, sewer, and other property damage. We have an established company, experienced operations team, strong systems, and the capabilities to deliver for the customers our sales team brings through the door. Now we're looking for a proven salesperson who wants to help us grow and become a trusted resource to our clients. The Opportunity This is a relationship-driven B2B sales position for someone who enjoys being in the field, meeting people, developing relationships, creating opportunities, solving problems, and winning new business. Our clients don't just need someone who can sell to them. When property damage occurs, they need someone they trust, who understands their problem, can help determine what needs to happen next, and knows when to bring in additional ICC resources. We are not looking for someone who simply develops a relationship and then hands the client off. We want someone who takes ownership of their client relationships, learns our business and theirs, and becomes knowledgeable enough that clients continue to see them as a valuable resource. You will have significant autonomy over your schedule. With that freedom comes accountability. We are looking for someone who doesn't need a manager constantly telling them where to go, who to call, or what to do next. You should be comfortable starting relationships from scratch, earning the trust of decision-makers, asking for business, following up consistently, solving problems, and staying productive even when no one is watching. What You'll Do Develop new B2B relationships and referral partnerships throughout the Twin Cities Prospect for and create new business opportunities Build relationships with decision-makers and referral sources Conduct regular face-to-face sales meetings and field visits Network within assigned target markets Develop new accounts from initial contact through an established business relationship Take ownership of client relationships and remain involved after the initial referral or sale Grow and strengthen existing client relationships Learn ICC's restoration services and develop a practical understanding of property damage and the restoration process Help clients understand appropriate next steps when property damage occurs and involve ICC's technical resources when needed Manage your schedule and sales pipeline independently Maintain consistent CRM activity and follow-up Meet established sales activity and performance KPIs Work closely with ICC's leadership and operations teams to deliver an exceptional client experience Who We're Looking For We're less interested in your exact job title than in what you've actually accomplished. Strong candidates will have a track record of: Producing measurable sales results Personally generating new business rather than relying primarily on company-provided leads Prospecting and developing relationships from scratch Building long-term B2B relationships Taking ownership of client relationships Working independently and holding themselves accountable Solving customer problems rather than simply selling a product or service Learning enough about their product, service, or industry to become a knowledgeable resource to clients Consistently following up and staying organized Handling rejection without losing momentum Meeting or exceeding sales goals Using CRM and sales activity metrics to manage performance Proven B2B outside sales or business development experience is required. Candidates should have demonstrated experience personally generating new business, prospecting for new accounts, and developing B2B relationships from scratch. Experience in restoration, construction, commercial property services, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, facilities, building services, insurance, or another technical or property-related B2B industry is strongly preferred. Candidates without direct industry experience must demonstrate the ability and desire to learn technical information, solve client problems, and become a knowledgeable resource to their clients. The Person Who Will Succeed Here You are: Competitive Persistent Accountable Professional Curious and resourceful Comfortable meeting new people Motivated by measurable results Comfortable working independently Responsive and dependable Someone who follows through Someone who reacts with urgency when a client needs help Someone who would rather be in front of customers than sitting behind a desk If you need constant supervision to stay productive, this probably isn't the right opportunity. If you enjoy the freedom of outside sales, take ownership of your client relationships, and have the discipline to produce results with that freedom, we'd like to meet you.
