Business Development Manager, Residential Sales (Painting)

Metro Painting Group is looking for an experienced salesperson to take ownership of our residential sales pipeline across Brisbane and South East Queensland. You will step into an established pipeline already generating qualified opportunities through paid advertising, repeat business and industry relationships. Your job is to attend appointments, understand what the customer wants, present a proposal on site and close the sale. Proposals are produced and presented while you are with the customer, not days later. We teach the estimating. We need you to sell. You do not need painting or estimating experience. Our quoting is built into our own software: you measure up, enter the measurements and the software produces the proposal. In your first weeks you will shadow our co-owner on site until you are measuring and scoping with confidence. What we do not expect to teach is how to sell, and that is what we are hiring for. Where this role goes You will own residential sales: the process, the follow-up, the pipeline and the numbers, and you will lead our appointment setter. As we add more closers, you lead the team.
