Are You?

Passionate about customers, personable, a team-player, inquisitive, go-getter, self-motivated, highly organized If these words describe you, the Business Development Representative position may be exactly what you are looking for!

The Business Development Representative (BDR) is responsible for managing a territory including the customers and prospects assigned to it by partnering with contractors to sell paint products, sundries and equipment. The successful BDR will work closely with customers not only to be a valued supplier, but also as a business partner, aiding the customer in growing and developing that customer’s business. The resulting relationship is quite unique. The customers comprising a BDR’s territory are exclusively low volume – as measured by actual sales to Dunn-Edwards. It is the role of the BDR to assess the true potential volume of the customer and grow that volume to a sufficient level where the customer is reassigned to an OSR, or efficiently manage small potential customers on an ongoing basis. This role, while responsible for closing sales to the assigned customer, is an inside sales role.
