Business Development Executive

Overview

At Encore, Business Development Executives are the impact players on our team. They are experienced sales professionals, with a well established network, and a drive to be successful no matter what. Another title for these high-income producers are "hunters." They aren't waiting for leads to come to them, they go out and get them! They are not deterred by initial rejection because they are skilled at over-coming objections. To join the ranks of our Business Development Team you must be ready and able to hit the ground running by developing and executing to a defined plan for success.

Questioning whether you're up for the challenge? Then this may not be the job for you. The top performing Business Development Executives don't shy away from a challenge; they charge it head on...mostly to prove (to themselves) they can succeed. And if that sounds like you, then there is definitely a place for you at the top of our sales charts!
