Business Development Manager
Sales: New Business Development
- Unhappy at work & Looking for a Way Out?
- Under-appreciated for your efforts & results?
- Tired of your boss’s lack of direction and support?
- Looking to “Re-start” your sales career due to Covid?
This is a real Business Development position “hunting” new business with NO “Servicing Accounts.”
We are looking for someone very special for our sales team. It is a position that’s not for everyone. Here is what we are looking for:
You Are:
- Experienced in sales, ideally, with at least 3 years in New Business Development (hunting) in Hospitality segments (catering, hotel space, food, food supplies, event co-ordination and rentals etc.) Why? Because you know what it takes!
- Skilled and have the ability to prospect daily; ability to handle rejection; no call reluctance; superior listening skills; good attention to details; ability to call on various decision makers and establish relationships; possess above average time management skills and an entrepreneurial (not stuffy corporate) attitude along with a sense of urgency!
- Aggressive, can keep making those extra calls because you are motivated & you want a position where you can be rewarded for your results.
- Experienced selling products or services in a shorter cycle (4-8 weeks) where you are NOT the cheapest, but you are successful selling and demonstrating value.
- Trainable and coachable and willing to commit to becoming better in your skills while improving in your results.
- A self-starter, someone with grit, tenacity, goals and committed to doing “what it takes” to be successful in sales.
- A people person and your glass is usually half full, and you really love to sell. If this describes you, you will truly want to investigate and apply to our position at Catering Sensation.
