    Business Development Representative

    Location: Manchester, TN (Serving Coffee, Franklin, Warren, Bedford, Lincoln, Marshall & Moore Counties)

    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.

    Daily Sales & Territory Management

    Attend daily team meetings and coaching sessions

    Plan and execute daily sales routes

    Prepare for client meetings and prospecting activities

    Prioritize daily objectives

    Complete reporting and administrative tasks

    Business Development

    Build and maintain relationships with referral partners

    Identify and develop new business opportunities

    Execute a structured territory management plan

    Document customer interactions and sales activity

    Develop and achieve monthly sales objectives

    Conduct client appreciation activities

    Follow up to ensure outstanding customer satisfaction

    Commercial Business Development

    Present SERVPRO Emergency Ready Plans (ERP)

    Gather facility information and emergency response data

    Develop customized preparedness plans for commercial clients

    Conduct follow-up visits to maintain relationships and readiness

    Community Involvement

    Coordinate continuing education events

    Attend networking functions and community events

    Participate in professional associations

    Represent SERVPRO Team Ridner throughout the 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

    Why SERVPRO Team Ridner?

    At SERVPRO Team Ridner, we believe we're in the people business—we just happen to provide restoration services.

    When disaster strikes, people need more than repairs—they need someone they can trust. That's why relationships matter here.

    You'll receive hands-on coaching from an ownership team that is committed to your success. We don't believe in handing someone a territory and hoping for the best—we provide the training, support, and resources needed to help you build lasting relationships and grow your career.

    We invest in our people because we believe great people build great companies. As we continue to grow, you'll have opportunities to grow with us.

    If you're looking for more than just another sales job and want a career where your work genuinely makes a difference in your community, we'd love to hear from you.

    Apply today and help us make a difference—one relationship at a time.
