- Develop and maintain a network of referral sources including equipment dealers, brokers, and business professionals
- Represent the organization at industry events, networking groups, and within the community
- Build long-term relationships that drive repeat business and referrals
Requirements
- Experience in business development, commercial lending, equipment finance, or outside sales
- Proven ability to generate new business and build a pipeline
- Comfortable working in a true hunter role with a high level of autonomy
- Existing book of business or industry relationships is a strong plus
- Ability to build trust with a wide range of clients, including owner-operators and blue-collar businesses
- Self-starter mentality with strong follow-through and accountability
