What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outside Sales / Business Development Representative position at Barrett Business Services?
Disaster Restoration | Central Washington
This is not an entry-level sales position. Prior outside sales or business development experience is required.
This company is growing, and we are looking for an experienced, driven relationship-builder who knows how to turn connections into long-term business partnerships.
If you enjoy meeting people face-to-face, building a strong professional network, developing your own territory, and seeing your efforts directly impact your income, this could be a great fit.
This is not a sit-behind-a-desk sales role. You will be out in the community developing relationships, creating opportunities, and representing a company people turn to when they need help most.
About The Company
Locally established disaster restoration contractor serving Central Washington. We help residential and commercial property owners recover from water, fire, mold, and other property damage through mitigation and reconstruction services.
Our reputation has been built on integrity, compassion, professionalism, responsiveness, and doing the right thing for our customers.
We are relationship-driven, community-focused, and committed to building a company that our employees, customers, and referral partners are proud to work with.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Business Development Representative, you will develop and manage referral relationships that generate restoration and reconstruction opportunities throughout your territory.
Your week may include meeting with an insurance agent over coffee, visiting a property management company, attending a networking event, presenting to a commercial organization, reconnecting with existing referral partners, or identifying new businesses to introduce to our company.
You will:
- Prospect for and develop new referral relationships
- Build and maintain relationships with existing partners
- Conduct in-person sales visits, meetings, lunches, and presentations
- Attend networking, community, and industry events
- Identify new opportunities within your assigned territory
- Maintain consistent follow-up with referral partners
- Track sales activity, relationships, and opportunities in our CRM

- Insurance adjusters
- Hospitals and healthcare organizations
- Schools and colleges
- Contractors
- Roofing companies

- Professional and dependable
- Comfortable networking with business professionals
- Persistent without being pushy
