Regional Sales Manager (Sales and Business Development) - Resource Environmental Solutions LLC

RES is hiring a Florida Regional Sales Manager (RSM) to drive sales pipeline development, lead and coach a team of Client Solutions Managers (CSMs) and other sales professionals, and advance its ability to create, advance, and close opportunities that will meet sales targets while delivering comprehensive ecological solutions to clients. 

How will you do it? In collaboration with external and internal stakeholders, you will translate regional growth strategies into a plan of action, lead account planning and focused prospecting, counsel our sales team on how to advance deals through critical stages, drive financial performance, and identify training opportunities that target the selling competencies and skills for RES to accomplish its mission of restoring resilient earth, one project at a time.

The RSM’s primary mission is to inspire, coach, and develop a team of sales professionals responsible for creating a pipeline of short to long-range (12 to 36 months) sales opportunities, each valued at $1M - $10M, using the region’s strategic business plan as a roadmap.  RSMs represent RES’ business interests in liaising with industry groups, outside stakeholders, and channel partners to further RES’ presence and influence within the Region.  Depending on the candidate and location, the RSM could be a “player-coach” and have an individual booking target while supervising a smaller group of CSMs. 

Your daily activities will include:

• Coaching. Focus on improving the full scale of sales performance – prospecting through closing.  Deliver the optimal result for RES and clients as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
• Management. Meet and exceed sales targets by solving client issues, advising on deal structure, supporting complex negotiations, and leading onboarding and hiring.
• Training. The leader sets the speed and tone – commit to developing yourself faster than the CSMs.  Advocate for resources, tools, and experiences to improve sales results and empower CSMs to help clients achieve their objectives.

The RSM's key business partners include:

• A general manager responsible for a P&L will allocate resources and drive prioritization for your team’s qualified opportunities.
• Government affairs personnel that will help shape policy, gain access, and find advocates to support projects.
• Business development experts that take a wide-angle view of mitigation, water quality and climate resiliency trends, devise ways to engage clients, and develop the long-range part of the sales pipeline.
• Experienced project developers in land acquisition, design, and engineering, regulatory, project management, construction, and long-term stewardship.
• Analysts that research and vet market opportunities and deliver insights that optimize sales activity.

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

• BS/BA
• 3+ years of experience in shaping, negotiating, and closing complex deals valued at $2M+ and consistently achieving your sales goals as an individual contributor
• 2+ years in a sales management role leading a high-performing team with a cumulative bookings goal of $25M+ per year and consistently achieving the team goal
• Direct working experience and relationships with municipal governments, energy, oil, gas, transportation, or utilities, and existing connections with channel partners, such as consulting, design, and engineering firms
• Ability to travel up to 25% - 50% of your time within the region, if priorities require

What will make you stand out?
