Sales & Restoration Business Development Representative

Position Summary
Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Sarasota is looking for a motivated, relationship-driven
Business Development Representative to help grow our presence throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. At Voda, our business is built on relationships, responsiveness, and doing the right thing for our customers and referral partners. We are looking for someone who enjoys getting out into the community, meeting people, building trust, and turning those relationships into long-term business.

This role will focus on developing strong referral partnerships with plumbers, property managers, insurance professionals, real estate professionals, builders, home inspectors, and other local businesses that regularly encounter water damage, mold, and property restoration needs. This is not a sit-behind-a-desk sales position. You will be networking, visiting referral partners, attending community events, following up on opportunities, visiting job sites, and working closely with our operations team to make sure the relationships you build are well taken care of.

The position offers a base salary plus uncapped commission
, allowing your earning potential to grow as the referral network and book of business you build continues to produce.

What You'll Do
Build Relationships That Last
Develop and maintain relationships with plumbers, property managers, insurance professionals, Realtors, builders, home inspectors, and other referral partners throughout our local market. Be Active in the Community
Represent Voda at networking groups, association meetings, community events, office visits, one-on-one meetings, and other opportunities to build our local presence.

Generate New Business
Identify new referral partners, create opportunities, consistently follow up, and turn relationships into restoration, remediation, and cleaning opportunities. Take Care of Your Accounts
Stay connected with referral partners after the introduction. Make sure they know what is happening with the customers they send us and help create an experience that makes them confident referring Voda again.

Support the Sales Process
Respond to opportunities, visit properties when appropriate, perform walkthroughs, communicate our services and process, and help customers and referral partners understand the next steps. Work as One Team
Sales and operations work together at Voda. During major storms, emergency events, or unusually high restoration volume, you may be asked to assist our operations team in the field. We are looking for someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves when the team needs them.

Compensation & Earning Potential
Base Salary:
$45,000 per year
Commission:
Uncapped commission on qualifying closed restoration and remediation business. Year 1 Target Earnings:
$60,000–$75,000 OTE
This role is designed for long-term earning growth
. During your first year, much of your focus will be on developing relationships, establishing trust, and building a strong network of referral partners throughout the community. As those relationships begin producing repeat business, your earning potential grows. The accounts you develop don't disappear at the end of the year.

You'll continue building on that foundation while adding new relationships to your network. The goal isn't just to have a great first year. It's to build a book of business that becomes more valuable every year. There is no commission ceiling
. The more your network grows and produces, the greater your opportunity to earn.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is:
Naturally comfortable meeting new people and building relationships
Self-motivated and able to manage their own sales activity and follow-up
Experienced in B2B, outside, field, or relationship-based sales
Comfortable walking into businesses, making introductions, and creating opportunities
Organized and consistent with follow-up and account management
A strong communicator who can represent Voda professionally in the community
Comfortable visiting active restoration projects and communicating with homeowners and business partners
Willing to jump in and help the team when circumstances require it
Motivated by both individual earning potential and helping grow a local business
Experience in restoration, construction, property management, insurance, plumbing, real estate, or other home-service industries is a strong plus, but the ability to build genuine relationships and consistently follow through is just as important.

A valid driver's license and reliable transportation are required. Our Culture
Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Sarasota is a locally owned and operated business serving Sarasota and Manatee Counties. We are growing quickly, but we want to grow the right way. We believe in showing up, communicating clearly, taking care of people, supporting our referral partners, and doing quality work we can stand behind. We're a hands-on team. Titles don't determine who helps when something needs to get done.

We celebrate wins together, solve problems together, and expect everyone on the team to take ownership of their role. For the right person, this is an opportunity to do more than fill a sales position. It's an opportunity to build a network, build a book of business, and grow alongside Voda.
