Exact schedule will be discussed during the interview process Compensation: 1250 USD/month base compensation. This role also includes performance compensation designed to allow strong performers to earn an additional 2000+ USD/month (more info below) Remote via ScaleSource | Commercial Landscaping | B2B Hunter Role Do you think you are a fit for this role but decided not to apply? Please tell us why. About Us We are building a serious commercial landscaping company serving property managers, HOAs, multifamily communities, retail centers, office parks, banks, churches, schools, industrial properties, and other commercial accounts. This is not a “wait for the phone to ring” business. We are going after commercial maintenance contracts aggressively and professionally. We want to know who owns the property, who manages it, when the current landscape contract renews, when the bid cycle opens, who the decision maker is, what they care about, and how we can get in front of them before everyone else does. We are hiring a Commercial Landscaping Sales / Business Development Lead to help build and run that engine. This is a remote role through ScaleSource, but it is not a passive admin role. This is a hunter seat. We need someone who can generate leads, research prospects, identify decision makers, coordinate quote execution, follow up like crazy, and help create a repeatable commercial sales machine. If you are looking for a slow, comfortable, “send a few emails and hope someone replies” role, this is not it. If you are a true B2B hunter who likes building lists, finding decision makers, chasing opportunities, coordinating proposals, and creating pipeline, this could be a great fit. The Big Picture Commercial landscaping sales is a timing game, a relationship game, and a follow-up game. Most properties already have a provider. That means our job is to: Find the right properties Identify the right decision makers Learn when their contracts renew Understand their pain points Get in front of them before bid season Create opportunities even when they did not ask for one Coordinate with our onsite sales team and estimators to get accurate quotes delivered fast Follow up consistently until we win, lose, or know the next bid cycle We are also building a cold quote system. That means we will proactively identify commercial properties, estimate their maintenance contracts, and present a professional proposal or property maintenance review to the decision maker before they ask us for one. This is our foot-in-the-door strategy. We are not waiting around for RFPs like everyone else. Role Mission Your mission is to build a high-quality commercial maintenance sales pipeline and help turn that pipeline into signed contracts. You will be responsible for identifying prospects, researching properties, finding decision makers, tracking bid cycles, coordinating with onsite sales and estimating, and making sure proposals are delivered within 72 hours or less after a quote request whenever possible. This role is about activity, discipline, follow-up, and ownership. You are not just helping with sales. You are helping build the sales engine. What You’ll Own1. Prospecting and Lead Generation You will be responsible for finding and organizing new commercial landscaping opportunities. This includes: Building targeted prospect lists by property type, location, ownership group, and management company Identifying commercial properties that are strong fits for maintenance contracts Researching property managers, owners, facility managers, HOA boards, asset managers, and other decision makers Finding email addresses, phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, company websites, and other contact information Tracking current vendors when possible Identifying when contracts are likely to renew or go out to bid Finding RFPs, bid opportunities, public notices, property management contacts, and local commercial development activity Adding clean, accurate information into our CRM or tracking system This is not random list building. This is targeted commercial hunting. 2. Decision Maker Research You will need to find the actual humans who can make or influence decisions. This includes identifying: Property managers Regional property managers HOA managers Facilities directors Operations managers Asset managers Commercial real estate owners Developers General managers Office managers for commercial properties Municipal or institutional purchasing contacts when relevant You should be able to answer: Who manages this property? Who owns it? Who controls the budget? Who is unhappy with their current provider? Who should receive the first outreach? Who should receive the follow-up? Who else might influence the decision? When does this property likely go out to bid? If you cannot find the decision maker, you keep digging. That is the job. 3. Outreach and Follow-Up You will help drive outbound outreach and follow-up through email, phone, LinkedIn, CRM tasks, and coordination with our onsite team. This includes: Sending professional outbound messages Making follow-up calls or coordinating calls when needed Tracking every touchpoint Following up aggressively without being weird or annoying Building multi-touch outreach sequences Keeping prospects warm before bid season Re-engaging old prospects Following up after quotes are sent Helping move deals from prospect to lead to quote to closed/won or closed/lost The fortune is in the follow-up. A lot of people say that. Most do not actually do it. We need someone who does. 4. Quote Coordination and 72-Hour Proposal Standard When a quote request comes in, speed matters. You will coordinate with onsite sales, field leadership, and estimators to make sure proposals are completed and delivered quickly. Our target is: All requested proposals delivered within 72 hours or less whenever possible. Your job is to help make sure that happens. You will be responsible for: Logging quote requests immediately Confirming property details Gathering photos, maps, measurements, notes, service scope, and client expectations Coordinating with onsite sales or estimators for site review Tracking who owns the estimate Following up until the proposal is completed Confirming the proposal was sent Scheduling follow-up after delivery Tracking quote status in the CRM You do not get to say, “I sent it to the estimator.” That is not ownership. Ownership means it gets tracked until it is delivered. 5. Cold Quote System We want to build a system where we proactively quote strong-fit commercial properties before they ask. This will include: Identifying properties that fit our ideal customer profile Researching the property and likely decision maker Coordinating with our estimator or onsite team to create a maintenance quote or property review Helping prepare a professional “we already looked at your property” style outreach Sending or coordinating the delivery of cold quotes Coordinating with our onsite cold caller for drop-offs and site visits Tracking follow-up until we get a conversation, a no, or a future bid date Building a repeatable system that lets us produce cold quotes every week This is a key part of the role. We are not just asking, “Can we bid your property?” We are showing up with value. 6. Coordination With Onsite Team You will be remote, but you will work closely with our onsite team. This may include: Coordinating with onsite salespeople Coordinating with estimators Coordinating with our onsite cold caller doing drop-offs and site visits Providing property lists for in-person visits Preparing call/drop-off notes Tracking who visited which property Updating the CRM after site visits Following up with prospects after onsite contact Making sure the onsite team has what they need before they walk into a property Remote does not mean disconnected. This role needs to make the onsite team more dangerous. In a good way. 7. CRM, Pipeline, and Reporting You will be responsible for keeping sales activity clean, visible, and accountable. This includes: Updating all prospects, contacts, properties, notes, next steps, and follow-up dates Tracking outreach activity Tracking leads generated Tracking quote requests Tracking proposals sent Tracking bid cycle dates Tracking closed/won and closed/lost opportunities Preparing weekly sales pipeline updates Flagging stuck opportunities Identifying which property types, messages, or sources are working best If it is not in the CRM, it basically did not happen. We need someone who gets that. Weekly Activity Expectations This is a hunter role. Activity matters. The exact targets may adjust as the system improves, but the starting weekly expectations are aggressive: 150+ commercial properties researched or reviewed per week 75+ new qualified prospects added to the CRM per week 40+ new decision makers identified per week 100+ outbound touches per week through email, phone, LinkedIn, or coordinated onsite follow-up 25+ follow-up touches on existing prospects per week 15+ meaningful responses, conversations, bid cycle updates, or next-step confirmations pursued per week 10+ quote opportunities, bid cycle dates, or future proposal targets identified per week 7+ cold quote targets prepared per week 3+ cold quote packages coordinated per week 100% of requested proposals tracked until delivery 100% of requested proposals followed up on after delivery Weekly sales pipeline report completed every week This is not busywork. The goal is signed commercial maintenance contracts. But in sales, if the activity is weak, the results usually suck. We are going to track both. First 90-Day Expectations By the end of the first 30 days, you should have: Learned our services, ideal customer profile, property types, market, and sales process Built or cleaned the starting CRM pipeline Identified at least 300 qualified commercial prospects Identified at least 125 decision makers Built a bid cycle tracking system Started outreach and follow-up sequences Coordinated your first cold quote targets with the onsite team Produced a weekly pipeline report that leadership can actually use By the end of the first 60 days, you should have: Added at least 600 qualified prospects to the pipeline Identified at least 250 decision makers Built a clear follow-up system by property type, property manager, and bid cycle Coordinated at least 20 cold quote targets Helped produce at least 10 cold quote packages Identified at least 20 quote opportunities, bid cycle dates, or future proposal targets Created consistent weekly reporting around outreach, quotes, follow-up, and next steps By the end of the first 90 days, you should have: Added at least 900 qualified prospects to the pipeline Identified at least 400 decision makers Helped generate at least 40 quote opportunities, bid cycle dates, or future proposal targets Coordinated at least 30 cold quote packages Built a repeatable outbound follow-up system Helped create a clear commercial maintenance sales pipeline we can scale The goal is simple: Build a machine that helps us win commercial maintenance contracts. Our Core Values and Mindset1. Have Fun Sales is hard. Building a business is hard. Commercial landscaping is not exactly champagne and yacht club stuff. So we want people who can work hard, laugh, bring energy, and not make everything weird and miserable. We are serious about results, but we do not need boring robots. Bring personality. Bring energy. Bring a little humor. Just also bring results. 2. Try New Shit Fast We are going to test lists, messages, cold quote ideas, property types, follow-up sequences, drop-off strategies, email angles, call scripts, and whatever else helps us win. We do not need someone who waits six months to test a better idea. Try it. Track it. Learn from it. Improve it. Fast. 3. Best in the World This does not mean we think we are already the best in the world. It means that is the standard we are chasing. We want the best commercial landscaping sales engine in our market. That means better research, better follow-up, better proposals, better communication, better speed, and better discipline than the other guys. If “good enough” is your standard, this will probably annoy you. 4. Do the Damn Work Sales is not magic. It is research, outreach, follow-up, CRM discipline, quote coordination, rejection, more follow-up, better questions, more research, and another round of outreach. This role requires someone who will actually do the work. Not talk about the work. Not make excuses about the work. Do the damn work. 5. Hold Accountability We track what matters. Prospects added. Decision makers found. Touches completed. Quotes generated. Proposals delivered. Follow-ups completed. Deals won. Deals lost. Next bid dates captured. This is not because we love spreadsheets. It is because accountability creates freedom, clarity, and results. If accountability feels threatening, this is not the right seat.
