Why You’ll Love This Role:

As a Jr. BDM, you are the engine of our growth. You’ll be out in the community, identifying new opportunities for our janitorial and maintenance services and building a pipeline that keeps the Lowcountry shining. You won’t be stuck behind a desk all day—this role is about movement, networking, and making things happen.

• The Sales Spark: You have some experience in route sales, call centers, or inside sales and you’re hungry for more.
• Communication Skills: You’re comfortable speaking in public and can write a follow-up email that actually gets a response.
• Tech-Savvy: You’re a pro with Google/Microsoft Office, and if you’ve used a CRM (like Salesforce or ZoomInfo), even better!
• Resilience: "No" is just a detour to you. You handle objections with grace and stay focused on the goal.
• The Essentials: You have a valid driver’s license and are ready for the 50% travel required to cover your territory and meet your clients face-to-face.
