Desired Abilities

The successful candidate should demonstrate the ability to:

Prospect aggressively.
Comfortably make cold calls, walk onto jobsites, introduce themselves to contractors and create conversations with people they have never met.

Recognize opportunity.
See a construction site, permit, demolition project, development announcement or contractor vehicle and immediately think: Who has this project? Who handles their dumpsters? When does the opportunity become available?

Build relationships.
Develop credibility with superintendents, project managers, estimators and owners and become someone customers want to call when another project begins.

Ask great questions.
Understand the customer's project, schedule, waste stream, service expectations and current pain points before presenting a solution.

Sell value.
Communicate the importance of dependable delivery, timely swaps, responsive communication, accurate billing and operational reliability instead of immediately discounting price.

Understand profitability.

Manage a pipeline.
Maintain disciplined follow-up across opportunities that may close tomorrow, next month or six months from now.

Own the territory.
Develop detailed knowledge of construction activity, major contractors, competitors, disposal options and future development within the assigned market.
