Business Development Representative
Posted Updated
Description
- PermitFlow is looking for a Business Development Representative to support our core go-to-market motion across key customer verticals
- This role is foundational to how we acquire new customers and scale revenue across Residential and Commercial Real Estate Development, Renewable Energy, and Home Services
- You will be a front-line driver of pipeline, owning outbound engagement, building relationships with prospective customers, and converting interest into qualified sales conversations
- You will work closely with Account Executives and cross-functional partners to execute personalized outbound strategies, clearly communicate PermitFlow’s value in construction permitting, and generate new business through creative, multi-channel prospecting
- This role requires comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment, strong ownership of outcomes, and a genuine interest in developing sales craft through repetition, feedback, and results
- This is not a passive or support-only SDR role
- It is an opportunity to join a high-growth company, master outbound sales fundamentals, and play a meaningful role in shaping PermitFlow’s go-to-market execution, with a clear path for growth based on performance
- Execute high-volume outbound prospecting (80–100+ calls per day) across phone, email, and LinkedIn to engage prospective customers
- Leverage ABM campaigns to engage the right personas at the right time — using digital engagement signals, intent data, and local market insights
- Drive qualified meetings (SQLs) with decision-makers across the organization, including Permit Coordinators, Operations Leaders, Regional Directors, and Executive Leadership
- Personalize outreach using account research, industry context, regional insights, and relevant proof points
- Coordinate and cluster early wins — expanding from branch to branch, region to region, or franchise to franchise
- Collaborate cross-functionally to document insights, share field intelligence, and refine our enterprise GTM motion
- Transition qualified opportunities to the Enterprise AE for pilot scoping or enterprise-level discussions
- Maintain clean CRM hygiene, consistent follow-up, and accurate forecasting within Salesforce
- How Success Will Be Measured
- Consistent generation of high-quality Enterprise SQLs that meet defined qualification standards and progress into active sales conversations
- Tangible pipeline creation within priority target accounts, directly attributable to outbound efforts and coordinated ABM campaigns
- Meaningful depth and breadth of engagement across key franchise, roll-up, or multi-location brands, including multiple stakeholders and buying personas
- Strong initial discovery resulting in clear, actionable insights, well-documented context, and effective handoffs to Enterprise Account Executives
- Proactive collaboration and alignment with Marketing, Account Executives, and RevOps to execute campaigns, share market feedback, and continuously improve GTM execution
