Build Your Territory. Win New Business. Grow Your Customer Base

Are you a relationship-driven sales professional who enjoys opening doors, developing new customers, and turning opportunities into long-term business?

Our client, a leader in the elevator industry, is looking for a Business Development Manager to help grow its presence across the Seattle market. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the business development side of sales: identifying prospects, getting in front of decision-makers, building a pipeline, and winning new service and repair business.

You don’t need to come from the elevator industry. We’re interested in sales professionals who understand how to develop business in a competitive, service-based environment.

The Opportunity

This isn’t just about maintaining a book of business. You’ll have the opportunity to actively develop your territory and create new revenue opportunities.

You’ll spend your time building relationships with building owners, property managers, facility leaders, and other decision-makers throughout the market. From the first introduction through proposal and close, you’ll own the customer relationship and help turn new opportunities into lasting partnerships.

How You’ll Grow the Business

• Find New Customers: Identify prospective accounts and create opportunities through outreach, networking, referrals, site visits, and relationships throughout the market.


• Build a Strong Pipeline: Develop and manage a consistent pipeline of service and repair opportunities across your territory.


• Win New Business: Understand customer challenges, recommend solutions, prepare proposals, and move opportunities through the sales process.


• Get Into the Market: Build visibility and relationships with property managers, building owners, facility teams, industry organizations, and other potential referral sources.


• Expand Existing Relationships: Look for opportunities to provide additional services and solutions as customer needs evolve.


• Own the Sales Process: Conduct site surveys, prepare bids and service contracts, present recommendations, negotiate, and follow through to close.


• Partner with Operations: Work closely with internal service and operations teams to develop solutions that meet customer needs and can be successfully delivered.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience in B2B sales, outside sales, or business development.


• Enjoy prospecting and aren't afraid to initiate new customer conversations.


• Know how to develop relationships and turn them into business opportunities.


• Are comfortable managing a sales pipeline and staying on top of multiple prospects and proposals.


• Can confidently present, negotiate, and communicate with customers.


• Take ownership of your territory and don't wait for opportunities to come to you.


• Are organized, persistent, and strong with follow-up.

Experience in the elevator industry is preferred, but it is not required. We also encourage candidates from HVAC, fire protection, security services, facilities services, equipment rental, waste management, pest control, water treatment, uniform services, commercial real estate services, and other B2B service industries.

Salesforce experience and familiarity with blueprints, architectural drawings, or technical service environments are a plus.
