Prax is recruiting a Business Development Manager to grow a restoration company’s referral network in Chattanooga. You’ll build relationships with plumbers, property managers, and contractors so they know who to call when one of their customers has property damage.

This is a local field sales role on a 1099 contract. You’ll meet partners in person, build your own book of business, and work directly with ownership.

What you’ll do

  • Prospect for new referral partners across Chattanooga and meet with them in person.
  • Ask for the business, follow up consistently, and turn first referrals into repeat accounts.
  • Track open opportunities, referral activity, and revenue from your accounts.
  • Coordinate each handoff with operations and follow up with partners on the outcome.

What you’ll bring

  • A track record of generating business through outside sales, account development, or referral partnerships.
  • Comfort walking into a business, starting a conversation, and asking for a referral.
  • The ability to manage your own territory and follow through on commitments.
  • Experience in restoration, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, construction services, or property management is valuable. An existing Chattanooga network is a plus.

Compensation

  • $75,000 annual base pay, plus uncapped commission
  • Top performers can earn $200,000 or more in total annual compensation, depending on production and the compensation agreement
  • Quarterly performance bonus eligibility
  • An optional company-matched equity program, subject to plan terms
