Help Build the Next Stage of RTG Fleet Maintenance
RTG Fleet Maintenance is seeking an accomplished Director of Business Development to lead our growth throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth market.
We provide mobile and onsite fleet maintenance solutions to commercial fleets that need greater maintenance capacity, reduced downtime, and a reliable service partner.
We have the technicians. We have the service capabilities. We have the operational infrastructure.
Now we are looking for the right business development leader to significantly expand our DFW presence.
This is a high-impact position with direct access to company ownership and a clear opportunity to advance into VP of Sales based on performance and company growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional account-management position.
The Director of Business Development will be responsible for personally creating, developing, and closing new commercial fleet relationships.
You will have the autonomy to build your territory, develop strategic relationships, pursue major accounts, and help shape RTG's long-term sales strategy.
We are particularly interested in candidates who understand the DFW commercial fleet market and have established relationships within transportation, fleet maintenance, trucking, refuse, heavy equipment, construction, distribution, utilities, leasing, or related industries.
What You'll Sell

Our capabilities include:
- Mobile diesel repair

- Preventive maintenance programs
- DOT inspections
- Electrical and diagnostic repair
- Hydraulic repair
- Welding and fabrication
- Heavy-equipment repair
- Refuse-truck maintenance
- Onsite technician programs
- Supplemental maintenance manpower
- Emergency and scheduled fleet support
Our value proposition goes beyond repairing trucks.
We give fleet maintenance departments additional capacity without requiring them to add permanent headcount.
What You'll Do
- Develop and execute a DFW new-business strategy
- Identify and pursue high-value commercial fleet opportunities
- Build relationships with Fleet Managers, Maintenance Managers, Directors of Fleet, Operations Leaders, Transportation Executives, and business owners
- Personally prospect and generate new opportunities
- Conduct face-to-face meetings and fleet-site visits
- Identify maintenance challenges, downtime issues, staffing shortages, and service gaps
- Develop solutions utilizing RTG's mobile and onsite capabilities
- Build and maintain a disciplined qualified sales pipeline
- Prepare and present proposals
- Negotiate profitable service agreements
- Close new business
- Develop multi-location and regional opportunities
- Work closely with Operations to successfully transition new customers

Who We're Looking For
The ideal candidate has:
- 5 years of successful B2B outside sales or business-development experience

- Existing relationships within the DFW fleet market strongly preferred
- Experience selling to operational and executive decision-makers
- Experience developing six-figure or larger customer relationships
- Strong prospecting and closing skills
- Understanding of gross profit, pricing, and margin
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- Professional executive presence
- Strong CRM and pipeline discipline
- Ability to operate independently and be accountable for results

Performance will be measured primarily by:
- Qualified pipeline created
- Face-to-face meetings with decision-makers
- New accounts opened
- New annualized revenue
- Gross profit generated
- Quality and profitability of business sold

Learn the Business
Develop a strong understanding of RTG's capabilities, customers, pricing, operations, and competitive advantages.

Get Face-to-Face
Consistently meet onsite with fleet and maintenance leaders throughout DFW.

This Role Is Not for Every Salesperson
This is probably not the right position if your experience has primarily involved maintaining an existing book of business.
It also isn't the right opportunity if you depend heavily on inbound leads.
We need someone who knows how to create opportunities where none currently exist.
The right candidate enjoys prospecting, getting in front of customers, asking intelligent operational questions, identifying problems, developing solutions, and closing business.
Why RTG?

You'll work directly with leadership, have access to Operations, influence how we approach the DFW market, and help build the sales organization that supports RTG's next stage of growth.
Our vision is:
Become the most trusted mobile fleet maintenance company in every market we serve.
We're looking for someone who wants to help us build it.
