Business Development Executive

At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the East Coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,400 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day.

Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety.

Our mission is to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen. As part of Encore's mission to become the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen, we've recently joined forces with Fireline Corporation, headquartered in Baltimore, MD. This partnership not only allows us to expand our footprint and find top talent in the Maryland area, it also allows us to work with industry leaders who strive for the same level of excellence as we do.

The Opportunity:

At Encore, Business Development Executives are our game changers. They're 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.

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.

A Day in the Life:

• Master Encore's value proposition and deliver it with impact in person, on the phone, and in writing
• Prospect, cold call, network, and generate your own leads to keep your pipeline full
• Work with executives and decision makers to identify needs, budgets, timelines, and business risks
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with key decision makers
• Serve as the primary point of contact for new project opportunities
• Accurately forecast your pipeline and deliver against sales targets
