Overview

At Encore, Business Development Executives are the impact players on our team. They are experienced B2B sales hunters who create their own opportunities, build their own pipeline, and turn prospects into long-term partnerships. With sharp instincts, strong networks, and relentless drive, they don’t wait for leads to come to them, they go out there and get them.

This isn’t about selling a product off the shelf. You’re selling a service that protects people and businesses. Every inspection contract you close generates immediate revenue and creates recurring service opportunities and future projects that fuel our business for years to come. In other words, you’re not just closing deals, you’re building the foundation of Encore’s future growth.

This role is based in White Plains, NY, but your office is in your territory, wherever your customers are. You’ll spend most of your time on the road meeting face-to-face with decision-makers, while also coming into the office as needed for collaboration and strategy.

If you’re hesitant about whether you’re ready for the challenge, this probably isn’t the role for you. Our top performers don’t shy away from the tough stuff. They charge at it head on, mostly to prove to themselves that they can succeed. If that sounds like you, then there’s a spot waiting for you at the top of our sales charts.
