Business Development Representative

VODA Cleaning & Restoration of Greater Memphis is hiring a Business Development Representative to help grow our presence throughout the Greater Memphis and Mid-South market. This is a field-based role for someone who wants to build relationships, develop a territory, and directly contribute to the growth of a growing restoration company.

Who You Are

  • You treat your territory like a business you personally own, not simply a job you show up to
  • You understand that referral business is built through relationships, trust, consistency, and follow-through
  • You are comfortable walking into an insurance office, plumbing company, apartment community, hotel, or property management office and introducing yourself professionally
  • You are self-motivated and capable of creating your own schedule and staying productive without someone standing over you
  • You are persistent and understand that business development is a long game
  • You take pride in representing yourself and VODA professionally in the community
  • You understand that following up is just as important as making the initial contact
  • You are organized and willing to document your activity, contacts, meetings, and opportunities
  • You are comfortable making phone calls, sending emails, conducting in-person visits, and networking
  • You have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation

What You Will Do Each Day

  • Develop and execute a targeted business development plan for your assigned territory
  • Build relationships with insurance agents and insurance offices
  • Develop referral partnerships with plumbers and plumbing companies
  • Visit apartment communities and property management companies
  • Develop relationships with hotels and commercial property managers
  • Identify businesses and professionals who can become consistent referral partners
  • Make outbound calls and conduct face-to-face business visits
  • Schedule meetings with business owners, managers, and decision-makers
  • Conduct presentations and lunch-and-learns for potential referral partners
  • Deliver VODA marketing materials and explain our services
  • Follow up consistently with prospective referral partners
  • Maintain an organized database of contacts and opportunities
  • Document calls, visits, meetings, leads, and follow-up activity
  • Generate qualified leads and referral opportunities for VODA
  • Coordinate warm handoffs between referral sources, customers, and the VODA operations team
  • Attend networking events and community/business functions when appropriate
  • Work closely with VODA ownership and operations to identify opportunities and improve our referral network

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position is not simply measured by the number of business cards you hand out.

We are looking for someone who can build relationships that turn into actual referral opportunities and revenue

You will be expected to:

  • Build a strong network of referral partners
  • Consistently grow your contact base
  • Maintain regular communication with referral partners
  • Generate qualified leads
  • Convert relationships into referral opportunities
  • Keep accurate records of your activity
  • Follow through on commitments
  • Represent VODA professionally throughout the market

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Field-based position with significant autonomy
  • Opportunity to make a direct impact on the growth of a growing restoration company
  • Performance-based compensation and incentives
  • Mileage reimbursement for approved business travel
  • Direct access to VODA ownership and management
  • Opportunity to build and manage your own network of referral relationships
  • No requirement to sit behind a desk all day
  • Your success is directly connected to the relationships and business you develop

Compensation

Base compensation + performance-based incentives

VODA believes the person responsible for creating new business should have the opportunity to be rewarded when that business produces results.

Compensation will be based on experience, qualifications, and the overall compensation structure established for the position.

Next Steps

If you are motivated, confident, professional, and believe you can help VODA build strong referral relationships throughout the Greater Memphis market, we want to hear from you.

Apply for the Business Development Representative position and tell us why you believe you would be successful in this role

Compensation: $45,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year
