Job description

Based in East Tennessee

Great salespeople don't need boundaries—they need opportunity.

Best Logistics is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to help drive our continued growth. While this position is based in East Tennessee, your opportunities aren't limited by geography. We don't believe in assigning sales territories. If you can develop business anywhere in the United States, we want you to pursue it.

We're looking for a proven sales professional who knows how to identify opportunities, open doors, build lasting customer relationships, and grow profitable business. This is a role for someone who thrives with autonomy, takes ownership of their results, and doesn\'t need to be micromanaged.

What You'll Do

• Prospect and develop new shipper relationships throughout the United States.
• Build a strong pipeline through networking, referrals, cold outreach, and face-to-face meetings.
• Understand customer transportation challenges and provide creative logistics solutions.
• Build long-term partnerships that create value for your customers and Best Logistics.
• Work closely with our operations team to deliver exceptional service and retain the business you earn.
• Manage your schedule and sales strategy with the freedom to pursue opportunities wherever they exist.

What We\'re Looking For

• Proven success in outside B2B sales with a track record of generating new business.
• Transportation, freight brokerage, or logistics sales experience strongly preferred.
• A self-motivated, competitive professional who thrives with autonomy and accountability.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Willingness to travel as needed to build customer relationships across the United States.

Why Best Logistics?

• No sales territories. Your success isn\'t limited by geographic boundaries.
• Freedom to sell nationwide. Pursue opportunities wherever you see potential.
• A team that has your back. Our experienced operations team is committed to delivering exceptional service and protecting the relationships you build.
• A growing company where you\'ll make an impact. Your ideas, effort, and results matter here.
• Competitive compensation with uncapped earning potential. The more you grow, the more you earn.

If you\'re an experienced business developer looking for a company that values initiative, rewards performance, and gives you the freedom to build your own success, we\'d love to hear from you.
