Executive Summary
Are you a proactive, highly driven relationship builder who excels at opening doors and driving long-term commercial growth?
We are representing the premier, most reputable restoration company in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Backed by national resources while maintaining a deep-rooted, tight-knit culture, our client is in aggressive growth mode. With an established revenue run-rate exceeding $100M and an industry-leading customer retention rate of over 90%, we are expanding our sales presence and hiring top-performing Business Development Associates in the DFW area.
This is a hunter-farmer role built around authentic, high-touch local networking and complete ownership of your market. If you thrive on face-to-face interaction, deep team collaboration, and high commission upside with leading market presence, this is the opportunity for you.
A Truly Relational Culture & Unmatched Autonomy
What truly sets this organization apart is how closely the team works together and how much leadership values personal trust and freedom:
- People & Team First: This is a family-oriented environment where colleagues genuinely support one another. Team synergy and mutual respect come before individual ego.
- Celebration & Inclusion: From annual Christmas dinners to post-tradeshow gatherings, leadership regularly hosts team dinners where spouses and partners are warmly invited. You aren't just an employee—your family is part of the community.
- Autonomy Over Micromanagement: Leadership hates unnecessary meetings and trusts you to manage your own schedule and market. You get complete autonomy to run your business like your own while having full executive backing.
- Minimal Internal Meetings: We prioritize customer-facing time and field success over sitting in conference rooms. Internal cadences are brief and meaningful (a single team check-in every two weeks and a 30-minute 1-on-1 every three weeks).
What We Offer
- Competitive Base Salary: $70,000 – $80,000 per year (flexible) DOE
- Guaranteed Earnings Safety Net: 6-Month Commission Guarantee paid out monthly while you build your pipeline.
- Uncapped Earning Potential: Sales professionals closing $2.0M – $2.5M per year earn $200,000 – $250,000+ total compensation (depending on project mix), with top performers clearing $400,000 – $470,000+.
- Top-Tier Benefits: Exceptional Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage ("The Bomb" health plan); Outstanding 401(k) program with company match; Unlimited PTO (Performers average 6–8 weeks off annually while closing deals)

- Cross-Market Collaboration: Spend half a day every two weeks collaborating alongside peers in neighboring markets to share leads, cross-sell, and support each other's growth.
Ideal Candidate Profile
