Job description

Senior Business Development Executive – Corporate Event Production

Show Ready Technologies, Inc. | Metro Detroit, Michigan | Full-Time | On-Site

Show Ready Technologies is seeking an accomplished Senior Business Development Executive with a proven track record of originating new corporate event business and developing significant, long-term client relationships.

This is not an order-taking sales position.

We are looking for a seasoned business development professional who knows how to identify opportunities, open doors, build relationships, earn trust, and convert those relationships into substantial, recurring business.

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate will have:

• 10+ years of sales and business development experience, with significant experience in corporate events, event production, AV/event technology, experiential events, or a closely related industry.
• A demonstrated track record of new business development, account origination, and revenue generation.
• A strong, established professional network within the corporate events industry, developed through years of successful business development and relationship building.
• Experience developing relationships with corporate decision-makers, event and meeting professionals, agencies, producers, marketing teams, and other buyers and influencers of corporate event production services.
• A history of personally developing substantial new accounts and delivering measurable sales results.
• The persistence and discipline to prospect consistently, pursue opportunities, and develop relationships over time.
• The ability to sell through relationships, expertise, credibility, and value — not simply price.
• A strong understanding of corporate event production and the expectations of sophisticated corporate clients.

This Role Is About Developing Business

We are specifically looking for someone who creates opportunities rather than waits for them.

The right person has spent their career prospecting, networking, identifying opportunities, opening doors, and developing professional relationships that lead to business.

If your sales experience has primarily consisted of managing existing house accounts, responding to incoming inquiries, preparing quotes, or processing opportunities generated by others, this is not the right position.

Candidates should be prepared to discuss their track record of personally originating new business, developing significant accounts, building long-term professional relationships, and producing measurable revenue results.

Our capabilities encompass event technology, audio, video, LED video walls, lighting, staging, rigging, engineering, technical staffing, project management, streaming, and show-site execution.

Corporate Event Production. Engineered for Confidence.

Compensation is negotiable and will be structured based on proven experience, demonstrated sales performance, industry background, and qualifications.

The position includes a base salary plus a generous performance-based commission and incentive structure , designed to reward successful new business development and revenue growth.

Competitive benefits include health benefits and paid time off.

Location & Travel

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Metro Detroit, Michigan. This is not a remote position.

The nature of the role includes time outside the office developing business, meeting with clients and prospects, attending industry functions, conducting site visits, and supporting opportunities in the field.

Travel is required for client meetings, site visits, industry events, and corporate events as business opportunities and client needs require.

Show Ready Technologies expects all employees and representatives to respect existing contractual, confidentiality, non-solicitation, and other professional obligations.
