Build Relationships. Grow Your Career. Make a Difference.

At SERVPRO Team Ridner, we're more than a restoration company—we help families and businesses recover after water damage, fire, mold, storms, and other unexpected disasters.

We're looking for an energetic, relationship-driven Business Development Representative who enjoys meeting new people, building long-term partnerships, and making a real impact in the community.

If you're motivated by goals, enjoy networking, and want to work for a growing company where your effort directly impacts your income and career growth, we'd love to meet you.

Performance Bonus

Business Development Representatives participate in a quarterly bonus program based on 2.5% of qualified referral sales. This performance-based bonus rewards relationship building and territory growth, providing realistic on-target earnings of approximately $60,000+ annually, with additional upside for exceptional performance.

Build on an Established Territory

This is not a position where you'll be starting from scratch.

You'll inherit an established territory with existing referral partners and strong relationships throughout our seven-county service area. Rather than building a book of business from the ground up, you'll strengthen existing partnerships while creating new opportunities for growth.

You'll work with insurance professionals, property managers, business owners, healthcare facilities, municipalities, schools, contractors, and other referral partners who rely on SERVPRO when disaster strikes.

What You'll Do

As our Business Development Representative, you'll be responsible for growing our commercial and residential referral network by building meaningful, long-term relationships throughout our community.

The Ideal Candidate

This position isn't for everyone.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships and spending time in the community. Most days you'll be meeting with insurance professionals, property managers, business owners, schools, healthcare facilities, municipalities, and other referral partners—not sitting behind a desk.

You'll thrive in this role if you:

Love meeting new people and building relationships.

Are competitive and motivated by achieving goals.

Want your effort to directly impact your income.

Can work independently without constant supervision.

Stay organized and manage your own schedule effectively.

Follow through on commitments.

Build trust naturally rather than relying on high-pressure sales tactics.

Enjoy networking and becoming involved in your local community.

Want a long-term career with opportunities for growth.

This position is probably not a good fit if you prefer working behind a desk, dislike networking, or struggle with self-motivation.

Success comes from consistently building relationships, becoming a trusted resource in the community, and executing your daily sales plan.

Qualifications

Required

Minimum of two years of B2B outside sales experience

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Strong customer service skills

Self-motivated and results-driven

Highly organized with excellent time management skills

Comfortable using Microsoft Office and CRM software

Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record

Preferred

Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Experience in restoration, construction, property management, insurance, or other service industries

Strong business and financial acumen

Work Environment

This position combines office work with extensive local travel throughout our service territory.

Full-time

Monday-Friday

Typical schedule: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Up to 90% local travel

Occasional evening networking events and limited overnight travel
