Territory: North Carolina Triad – Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and surroundings

Employment: Full-Time

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated, relationship-driven Business Development Executive to build and grow our presence throughout the North Carolina Triad.

This is a field-based growth position responsible for developing referral relationships and generating new patients/clients across non-medical home care, home health and hospice services.

The successful candidate will understand that business development in post-acute care requires consistent field activity, strong relationships, disciplined follow-up and measurable results. This individual will be expected to develop a territory, create new referral relationships and convert those relationships into sustainable admissions, billable hours and revenue.

Primary Responsibilities

Territory Development & Growth

• Develop and execute a strategic territory growth plan for Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point and surrounding communities.
• Identify, prioritize and penetrate the highest-value referral opportunities within the territory.
• Build a balanced referral portfolio rather than becoming dependent on a small number of accounts.
• Generate qualified referrals that convert into new home care clients, home health starts of care and hospice admissions.
• Develop new accounts while expanding referral volume from existing relationships.
• Maintain an active pipeline of prospects, referrals and opportunities.
• Consistently achieve monthly, quarterly and annual growth objectives.

The Business Development Executive will position the organization as a trusted solution for patients and families navigating the continuum of care.

• Consistent follow-up with active referral sources and prospects
• Development of new referral-producing accounts every month
• Accurate CRM documentation of all activity, opportunities, referrals and follow-up
