Business Development Manager

Business Development Representative

Location: Asheville, NC

Base Salary: $55,000–$65,000 + Commission Employment: Full-Time

Build Relationships. Create Opportunities. Grow the Business.

We are seeking an energetic, relationship-driven Business Development Representative to help grow an established product-based business in the Asheville and Western North Carolina market.

This is a true business development position for someone who enjoys getting out into the community, meeting decision-makers, opening doors, and turning new relationships into long-term customers.

The right person won't be afraid to pick up the phone, walk through a prospective customer's door, attend a networking event, or follow up consistently until an opportunity develops.

What You'll Do

· Develop new business through cold calling, door knocking, prospecting, networking, and referrals

· Identify and pursue potential customers throughout the assigned market

· Schedule and conduct meetings with prospective clients

· Learn the company's products and confidently communicate their value to customers

· Build relationships with business owners, managers, purchasing professionals, and other decision-makers

· Provide excellent service and follow-up to both new and existing customers

· Prepare quotes, follow up on opportunities, and help move prospects through the sales process

· Maintain an active pipeline of prospects and sales opportunities

· Attend local networking events, industry events, and community functions

· Work closely with leadership to identify new markets and opportunities for growth

· Develop long-term customer relationships that lead to repeat business and referrals

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is personable, persistent, self-motivated, and comfortable initiating conversations.

Previous B2B sales or business development experience is strongly preferred. Experience selling within manufacturing, industrial, electronics, technical products, or a related environment would be a major plus, but it is not required.

If you can sell, build relationships, and create opportunities, product training will be provided.

The ideal candidate:

· Enjoys prospecting and developing business from the ground up

· Is comfortable cold calling and walking into prospective businesses

· Has strong communication and relationship-building skills

· Is organized and consistent with follow-up

· Is motivated by goals and earning potential

· Can work independently and manage a territory

· Understands that successful sales requires persistence, activity, and excellent customer service

Compensation

Base Salary: $55,000–$65,000, depending on experience, plus a commission structure based on sales performance.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a base salary—the successful candidate will have the ability to increase their earnings by directly contributing to the growth of the business.
