Job Deescription :
Help Grow a Local Floral Business with a Big Reach
Danisa’s Fresh Flowers is looking for a motivated, outgoing, and business-minded Sales & Business Development Manager to help us win new customers, grow existing accounts, and turn fresh ideas into real revenue.
For nearly 25 years, Danisa’s has supplied premium fresh flowers and custom bouquets to floral designers, event planners, flower shops, grocery stores, hospitality businesses, corporate clients, and individual customers throughout the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area—and nationwide.
This is a hands-on growth role for someone who enjoys building relationships, pursuing new opportunities, and seeing the direct results of their work. You’ll collaborate closely with our owners, manage key accounts, and help shape the next stage of Danisa’s growth.
If you’re energized by sales, creative products, and a fast-moving small-business environment where your ideas can make a visible impact, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do
- Generate new business through prospecting, outreach, referrals, networking, and in-person visits.
- Develop relationships with floral designers, event planners, flower shops, grocery stores, hospitality businesses, and other high-potential clients.
- Manage the full sales process—from identifying prospects and presenting our capabilities to preparing proposals, following up, and closing business.
- Grow existing accounts by identifying new products, programs, and purchasing opportunities.
- Work directly with the owners to execute sales strategies and revenue-growth initiatives.
- Present flower and bouquet programs to prospective retail and wholesale customers.
- Maintain strong client relationships and deliver responsive, solutions-focused service.
- Track leads, follow-ups, sales activity, and account opportunities using our CRM and internal systems.
- Monitor sales performance and key performance indicators, including new accounts, revenue, retention, and profitability.
- Research market trends, customer preferences, and competitor activity to uncover new opportunities.
- Collaborate with purchasing, operations, marketing, and delivery teams to ensure a smooth customer experience.
- Represent Danisa’s at client meetings, local events, trade opportunities, and occasional industry functions.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in sales, business development, account management, or revenue growth.
- A track record of meeting or exceeding sales goals.
- Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- A proactive, organized, and results-driven approach.
- Confidence reaching out to new prospects by phone, email, LinkedIn, and in person.
- Ability to manage multiple leads and accounts while maintaining consistent follow-up.
- Comfortable working independently and collaborating closely with company ownership.
- Basic proficiency with CRM platforms, Microsoft Office, and digital sales tools.
- Interest in flowers, events, retail, hospitality, or creative industries.
- Floral-industry experience is helpful, but not required—we can teach the right person the product side of the business.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
