Business Development Representative
Sales Track · Dallas, TX
Entry-Level Full-Time · Base Salary · Meeting Incentive
Take laundry. Give life.
Who is Turns
Turns is a private equity-backed, service-sector growth company solving the laundry problems of North Texas and beyond. We are passionate about two things: growing great people and giving life to our customers, and we have built a culture that requires both.
Our commercial team services hotels, country clubs, restaurants, gyms and medical offices across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Linens, uniforms, and the service those businesses run on every single day.
The opportunity
Most entry-level sales jobs hand you a phone and a list. This one hands you a territory and a seat next to the person who runs the team.
We are hiring one Business Development Representative to help us grow the commercial book. You will ride with our Director of Sales, knock on doors across the metroplex, sit in on live client meetings, and learn how commercial accounts get opened, priced and kept. Within a few months you will be setting your own meetings and closing your own accounts.
If you are about to graduate and you are not sure which direction to go next, this might be exactly the right answer. We are not looking for someone who has sold before. We are looking for someone ready to learn it fast, alongside people who will push them.
Is this you
You are sharp. Not necessarily polished, but fast. You pick things up quickly and you do not need much hand-holding to produce something good. People like being around you, and you know how to work a room whether you are naturally loud or naturally quiet.
You are coachable, because you actually want to get better. You are not attached to your first idea. You are attached to finding the right answer.
Wherever you have shown up, whether that is a campus organization, a side project, a job or a team, you were probably the one who started working on the problem before anyone asked you to.
And you are not afraid of a closed door. This job happens in person, in the field, every day. Some days a hotel GM says yes. Most days it is a few more doors. The people who are good at this are the ones who keep knocking.
What year one looks like
Prospecting. You will work the metroplex in person, identifying hotels, restaurants, clubs, gyms and other businesses that need commercial linen and laundry service.
Meetings. You will set qualified meetings for our Account Executive team and sit in on them with our Director of Sales, learning how accounts get won and priced.
Closing. As you ramp, you will close accounts on your own.
Pipeline. You will keep your activity current in our CRM, because the pipeline is how we know what is real.
The path to Account Executive
Our commercial team covers Dallas-Fort Worth in three territories. The fastest way into one of them is through this seat. Build a pipeline, crush your goals, and we fully anticipate this role moving into an Account Executive seat within a year.
Compensation
$41,000 base salary plus performance incentive tied to qualified meetings held. On-target earnings of $65,000 in year one. The commission is uncapped.
Base is base. The rest is yours to go get.
What you need
- A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Bachelor's degree completed or in progress, any major
- The ability to be in the field across the metroplex daily
- No prior sales experience required. If you have worked a job that meant talking to people all day, whether that is serving, coaching, retail or campus recruiting, that experience translates
Benefits
- Competitive base salary plus meeting incentive
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- On-the-job training and mentorship directly from the Director of Sales
- Free laundry service (you read that right)
Logistics
Full-time and in person, based in Dallas.
