The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in marketing or business and a minimum of 5 years of direct sales experience, preferably in the restoration or insurance sector. Strong interpersonal skills and B2B sales expertise are essential.
Servpro Team Jones is hiring a Business Development Executive.
The role of a Business Development Executive (BDE) in the property restoration and disaster recovery industry is critical for driving revenue and establishing long-term partnerships. A successful BDE acts as the primary liaison between the restoration company and key stakeholders, including insurance carriers, property managers, adjusters, and commercial facility owners. The objective is to secure a steady stream of referral business and formal service agreements that guarantee priority response and revenue generation.
For commercial clients and property managers, BDEs focus on securing Emergency Response Agreements (ERAs), sometimes referred to as Master Service Agreements (MSAs) or Contingency Plans. An ERA is a pre‑determined contract that establishes the restoration company as the priority responder for a commercial property in the event of a disaster. The BDE’s responsibility is to educate property owners and facility managers on the value of proactive disaster planning and to secure signatures on ERAs, which provide priority response times, pre‑approved pricing structures, and minimized business disruption.
BDEs manage the entire sales pipeline, from initial prospecting to contract execution and ongoing account management. Responsibilities include maintaining accurate, detailed notes on client preferences, tracking the progress of leads, and logging all networking activities. BDEs use Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software (such as Dash, Salesforce, or specialized restoration CRMs) as a daily requirement and are often required to submit detailed weekly activity reports outlining visits, meetings, and progress toward revenue goals.
Ongoing account management is crucial to ensure client satisfaction and secure repeat business. BDEs serve as the primary account manager, acting as a bridge between the client and internal operations and estimating teams.
