POSITION OVERVIEW

RCI is seeking a driven, relationship-focused Business Development Associate to join our Sales & Business Development team. In this high-impact role, you'll lead market growth efforts by identifying, pursuing, and closing new B2B service contracts for commercial landscape maintenance. This is not a transactional sales role—it's a strategic, consultative position centered on identifying client needs and designing service solutions that align with RCI's operational strengths and long-term partnership philosophy.

You'll serve as the face of RCI in your region, building trust with key decision-makers, crafting compelling proposals, and guiding prospects through the entire sales journey—from discovery to signed contract to successful onboarding.

  • Execute Prospecting Strategy: Use a combination of cold outreach, referrals, networking, etc.
  • Conduct Client Discovery: Perform on-site walkthroughs and host consultative meetings.
  • Develop Tailored Proposals: Collaborate with teams to build custom service solutions.
  • Present & Close: Deliver persuasive presentations and guide prospects to decision-making.
  • Sales Process Management: Own your pipeline, CRM tracking, and deal stages.
  • Performance Accountability: Meet or exceed metrics for outreach, meetings, proposals, and revenue.
  • Transition & Retention: Ensure smooth onboarding and early-stage satisfaction.
  • Market Representation: Attend networking events and increase RCI visibility.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, Marketing, or related field—or equivalent work experience
  • 1+ years of B2B sales experience, preferably in service-based industries
  • Demonstrated success in long-cycle consultative sales environments
  • Ability to build rapport with senior-level decision-makers
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
  • Proficiency with CRM tools and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Strong organizational and time management skills

  • Willingness to travel and valid driver's license

  • Experience in the multifamily industry is a plus

KEY COMPETENCIES
  • Solution-Oriented Thinking
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Strategic Hustle
  • Growth Mindset
  • Team Collaboration
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
  • Base Salary: Starting at $70,000 annually
  • Commission Program: Uncapped earning potential
  • Monthly Allowances: Vehicle and phone stipends
  • Health & Wellness: Medical, Dental, Vision, and supplemental coverage
  • Retirement Plan: 401K with employer match
  • Time Off: Vacation, sick leave, and holidays
  • Professional Growth: Mentorship and leadership development
