Business Development Manager
Full-time · Based in Toronto, Ontario · Travel at least half the time
This is a sales role. You find the work, build the relationships and bring in the business. Much of it is new business: reaching out to roofing contractors, general contractors and facility owners who don't work with us yet, showing them what containment saves them during a re-roof or renovation, and turning them into customers. You'll also grow the accounts we already have, so Barriers becomes their standard choice across every site.
Win new business
- Reach out by phone, email, LinkedIn and in person to companies that don't work with us yet
- Build and work a target list of roofing contractors, general contractors and facility owners in your territory
- Book and run first meetings, site visits and presentations
- Follow up persistently and move each opportunity from first contact to a quoted job
- Represent Barriers at industry events and trade shows
Grow existing accounts
- Build relationships at several levels in large, multi-site organizations
- Reach more of each customer's locations and divisions
- Stay in touch between projects so we're the first call on the next one
Run a tight sales process
- Learn our systems well enough to explain the value in plain terms
- Keep an accurate pipeline in our CRM and follow our sales process
- Work with project managers and operations so what's sold gets delivered
What we're looking for
- A track record of winning new customers and hitting sales targets
- Comfortable with cold outreach, and persistent when the first answer is no
- Strong presenter and writer
- Organized, with good follow-through across many open deals
- Comfortable with CRM and office software
- Able to travel at least half the time
- Valid driver's licence; legally entitled to work in Canada
Nice to have
- Experience selling to roofing, construction, engineering or facility management
- A related degree or diploma
What we offer
- Competitive base plus commission
- Company vehicle or allowance
- Travel costs covered
