Blue Landscape & Outdoor Solutions, a family company of Mariani Premier Group, is looking for an Associate Business Developer to knock doors in an exclusive, high-end residential territory and be our very first handshake with homeowners. This is a door-to-door role: you'll be out in the neighborhood, walking the territory and approaching homes directly, not working the phones or a desk.

You won't be selling. You'll be the spark: introducing the brand, building real rapport face-to-face on the doorstep, and opening the door for our Business Developers to walk the property and make the offer. This is an ideal position for early-career individuals looking to gain hands-on experience in business operations and sales. If you thrive on face-to-face connections, are comfortable approaching homes and starting conversations cold, and want to be measured on real results — not just booked calendars, but appointments that actually happen — this is your seat!

We are open to full-time or part-time. Perfect for someone with a door-to-door or field sales background who's comfortable talking to affluent clientele and closing the loop on a warm introduction. Career Path Associate Business Developers who consistently meet goals have the potential to move into a Business Developer or Client Representative roles based on performance.

• Book "Set Solid" Appointments:
  Book property walks that meet the Set Solid standard: right decision-maker, expectations set in one sentence, notes logged, held within three days, and confirmed twice (text plus one follow-up each from Ambassador and Business Developer).
• Hand Off Cleanly:
  Brief the Business Developer with full notes so the property walk opens warm. Promise nothing beyond the walk itself.
• Log the Full Funnel:
  Log every address, conversations, qualified leads, Sets, and Sits daily.
• Represent the Brand Standard:
  Maintain professional appearance, follow posted no-soliciting signs and local solicitation rules, park on the street, and leave every doorstep better than it was found, booked or not.
• Engage Household Staff as Clients:
  Treat estate and house managers as decision-makers, not gatekeepers. Capture their name and role; a walk arranged through staff counts as a Set.

• Prior experience in direct sales, canvassing, hospitality, or another client-facing role; comfort engaging high-end residential clientele preferred.
• Professional presentation and verbal communication skills; able to build rapport quickly and read social cues.
• Self-motivated and resilient; comfortable with rejection and repetitive door-to-door work.
