Business Development Manager

Field based
· New business hunter

You win the account. Somebody else takes over. You open the next door.

Every new customer you close in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro hands off to a Territory Sales Manager once it's up and running, so you never carry an account management book. This is a pure hunting seat. You're paid to open new doors, not manage the ones already open.

A 94-year old national distributor of batteries and power products, 200+ branches across the United States. The company has been backed by a private equity firm since a 2021 merger that nearly doubled its branch network. Recently recognized as a top supplier by two major national accounts. Serves automotive aftermarket, commercial fleet, heavy duty, industrial, and material handling customers.

We're not naming them here. Here's the deal instead: we tell you exactly who they are in the first two minutes of the call, before you tell us a thing about yourself. This is one open, funded seat. It's not a pipeline post and we're not building a resume database.

The brand already has a footprint in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, and company provided leads land in the territory each month on top of whatever you generate yourself.

• New business only. Activated accounts transition to a Territory Sales Manager on agreed handoff criteria
• Branch provided leads, plus your own prospecting
• Field based across the Dallas-Fort Worth market, working alongside territory sales, branch teams, and regional leadership
• Reports to the Regional Sales Manager

• You've personally opened net new commercial accounts you sourced yourself, not ones handed to you
• You're comfortable being the one who cold calls, knocks on doors, and builds a pipeline from scratch
• You've sold in a market where price, availability, and delivery decide the sale, not a demo or a slide deck
• Valid driver's license. This job lives in a truck, not behind a desk

Compensation:
Base set on experience, plus variable tied to new business revenue and margin
