Job description

I’m currently working on a confidential search for a Business Development Representative with a leading Canadian real estate services platform.

This is an opportunity for a young, hungry and commercially minded individual who wants to build a career in business development, sales and commercial real estate.

The role is focused on one thing: Finding opportunities.

You’ll be responsible for mapping the market, identifying potential clients, opening doors and developing relationships with organizations that could benefit from the company’s services.

You’ll work across a broad range of real estate and property services, including:

• Commercial Property Management
• Development Services
• Construction Services
• Facilities Services
• Security Services
• & more!

Your role will be to identify and develop the opportunity before bringing it back to senior leadership, who will support the formal pitch, proposal and closing process.

This is not a traditional sales role where you are simply handed a list of prospects.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Map your market and build your own pipeline
• Research and identify potential clients
• Cold call, email, LinkedIn and network to open doors
• Build relationships with senior professionals
• Identify genuine business opportunities
• Work directly with senior leadership
• Develop your commercial and sales skills
• Earn meaningful commission based on the business you help generate

Who we’re looking for:

This is an entry-level opportunity, but we’re not necessarily looking for someone with years of sales experience.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Hungry and ambitious
• Entrepreneurial and commercially minded
• Highly proactive and self-motivated
• Comfortable picking up the phone and opening doors
• Resilient and comfortable with rejection
• Naturally curious and interested in business
• Confident speaking with senior professionals
• Competitive and motivated by results
• Interested in building a long-term career in sales, CRE or professional services

Previous experience in sales, recruitment, hospitality, customer service, fundraising or another client-facing environment would be an asset.

French would also be an asset, but is not required.

If you’re early in your career and want an opportunity where your success is directly tied to the opportunities you create, this could be a great platform to build from.

If you’re hungry, commercially driven and want to build something rather than simply take a job, I’d be interested in speaking.
