The ideal candidate brings experience in the restoration industry or a closely related field such as environmental services, property management, facility services, or commercial real estate. Experience working with insurance adjusters and understanding insurance-driven business dynamics is highly preferred.

This role is well suited for a proactive, competitive sales professional who enjoys prospecting, building relationships, creating opportunities, and converting new prospects into long-term customers.

Key Responsibilities

Business Development & New Customer Acquisition

• Develop and execute territory-specific strategies to generate new business opportunities.
• Dedicate the majority of time to prospecting, relationship development, and new customer acquisition.
• Identify target accounts and decision-makers across commercial, property, insurance, and facility-related markets.
• Conduct consistent outbound prospecting through phone calls, email, networking, referrals, in-person meetings, and other channels.
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of qualified prospects.
• Develop relationships with property owners, property managers, facility managers, insurance professionals, adjusters, risk managers, and other key decision-makers.
• Identify customer needs and position appropriate services and solutions to address those needs.
• Lead prospects through the sales process from initial contact through proposal, negotiation, and close.
• Consistently meet or exceed new business development and revenue objectives.
• Demonstrate a strong “hunter” mentality by actively creating opportunities rather than relying solely on inbound leads or existing relationships.

Account Management & Growth

• Manage and strengthen an existing portfolio of customer accounts, representing approximately 40% of the role.
• Develop strong, long-term relationships with existing customers and key stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to expand services and increase account penetration.
• Conduct regular customer touchpoints to understand changing needs and identify additional opportunities.
• Maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and proactively address potential issues.
• Generate referrals and introductions that can lead to additional business.
• Balance account management responsibilities with the ongoing pursuit of new business.

Insurance & Adjuster Relationships

• Develop and maintain relationships with insurance adjusters and other insurance industry stakeholders.
• Understand the role insurance plays in restoration and property-related services.
• Build familiarity with insurance claims processes and customer decision-making dynamics.
• Position the organization as a reliable resource for adjusters, property owners, and other stakeholders.
• Develop referral relationships with adjusters and insurance professionals to generate new opportunities.
• Stay informed on industry trends and changes affecting insurance-driven restoration and property services.

Market & Territory Development

• Develop a strong understanding of the local market, competitive landscape, and target customer segments.
• Identify high-value prospects and underserved market opportunities.
• Build a network of referral partners and industry contacts.
• Attend industry events, networking functions, trade associations, and customer meetings.
• Establish a visible presence within the assigned territory.
• Collaborate with internal operational teams to ensure customer needs and expectations can be effectively supported.

CRM & Sales Management

• Maintain accurate and timely records of prospects, customer interactions, opportunities, and activities in the CRM.
• Manage the sales pipeline and maintain accurate forecasts.
• Track prospecting activity, meetings, proposals, opportunities, and closed business.
• Develop territory plans and prioritize high-value opportunities.

Successful candidates may come from:

• Restoration services
• Environmental services
• Property management
• Facility services
• Commercial real estate
• Insurance-related services
• Other B2B service industries involving property owners, facilities, or insurance stakeholders

• Familiarity with property damage restoration, claims processes, and insurance-driven sales cycles.
• Experience in environmental services, facility services, property management, or commercial real estate.
• Established relationships with property managers, facility managers, insurance professionals, adjusters, or commercial property stakeholders.
