Job description

Sasser Restoration is looking for a driven, competitive Business Development to join our Texas team. We are looking for a true hunter — someone who doesn't wait for opportunities to come to them, but actively seeks out new business, builds relationships, and knows how to get in front of potential clients when restoration services are needed.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk sales position. The right person is highly motivated, comfortable making cold introductions, constantly networking, and always looking for the next opportunity. You should be someone who hears about a major water loss, fire, storm event, commercial property incident, or other restoration need and immediately starts figuring out who to call and how to get Sasser in the door.

Experience in restoration, construction, roofing, insurance, commercial services, or another relationship-driven outside sales environment is strongly preferred.

What You'll Do

• Actively identify and pursue new restoration opportunities throughout the Texas market
• Generate new business through cold calling, in-person visits, networking, referrals, and relationship building
• Stay connected to the local market and identify water, fire, storm, and other property-loss opportunities
• Build relationships with property managers, facility managers, commercial property owners, insurance professionals, adjusters, contractors, and other key referral partners
• Respond quickly when new loss opportunities arise and work to position Sasser Restoration as the preferred restoration partner
• Prospect for commercial accounts and develop relationships before a loss occurs
• Pursue emergency response and preferred-vendor opportunities with commercial clients
• Attend networking events, association meetings, industry events, and community functions
• Maintain an active pipeline of prospects and opportunities
• Conduct consistent follow-up with prospective clients
• Work closely with operations and leadership to transition new opportunities into active projects
• Track business development activity, leads, opportunities, and results
• Meet or exceed established sales and business development goals

We're Looking For Someone Who Is

• A hunter by nature and motivated by winning new business
• Comfortable approaching people they don't already know
• Persistent and confident without being afraid to hear \"no\"
• Highly competitive, self-motivated, and results-driven
• Able to recognize an opportunity and move quickly
• Excellent at networking and building professional relationships
• Comfortable spending the majority of their time out in the market
• Able to work independently and manage their own pipeline
• Professional and credible when meeting with commercial clients and decision-makers
• Available when opportunities arise, including occasionally outside traditional business hours.

Preferred Experience

• Previous business development or outside sales experience
• Restoration, disaster recovery, construction, roofing, insurance, property management, or related industry experience strongly preferred
• Existing relationships within the Dallas–Fort Worth commercial market are a plus
• Experience generating leads and developing business from the ground up
• Understanding of water, fire, storm, mold, environmental, or commercial property-loss services is a plus
