Business Development Executive, Trade & Hospitality
RemoteFull-timePosted 3w ago
About the role
Drives new business development in the trade and hospitality segment, owning end-to-end acquisition of high-value accounts (interior designers, design firms, hotels, and hospitality groups) and building scalable AI-assisted outreach and pipeline processes.
Responsibilities
- Identify, prospect, and close new B2B accounts in the trade and hospitality space — interior designers, design firms, hotels, and hospitality groups.
- Build and manage your own pipeline of larger accounts with the goal of driving repeat purchasing and long-term retention, not one-time transactions.
- Field inbound and outbound calls directly with prospective trade and hospitality accounts — this is a hands-on, high-touch role.
- Use AI tools to scale and sharpen outreach — prospecting, list-building, messaging, and follow-up — covering more ground as a single-threaded new business function.
- Implement and oversee AI-driven workflows to increase productivity and deal velocity; write clear prompts, validate outputs, and iterate based on results.
- Own funnel metrics and pipeline health; improve CRM discipline, reporting consistency, and forecasting accuracy.
- Build scalable processes for lead routing, opportunity tracking, and follow-up; identify opportunities to shorten sales cycles and increase conversion.
- Coordinate with the inbound/existing-accounts owner to ensure clean handoffs once accounts are established and to keep account strategy aligned.
- Partner with merchandising, operations, and vendor teams to support inventory planning and special orders for trade and design clients.
Qualifications
- 5–8 years of B2B sales or business development experience, ideally with exposure to trade, design, hospitality, or a related relationship-driven, high-touch sales environment.
- Proven track record of sourcing and closing net-new accounts — not just managing an existing book of business.
- Comfort working independently and remotely, with the discipline to self-manage a pipeline without day-to-day oversight.
- Familiarity or comfort using AI tools to support prospecting and outreach workflows.
- Strong phone and relationship-building skills; comfortable being the primary point of contact fielding calls directly with prospects.
