Business Development Executive

At Encore, Business Development Executives are the impact players on our team. They are experienced sales professionals, with a well-established network, and a drive to be successful no matter what. Another title for these high-income producers are "hunters." They aren’t waiting for leads to come to them, they go out and get them! They are not deterred by initial rejection because they are skilled at overcoming objections.

To join the ranks of our Business Development Team you must be ready and able to hit the ground running by developing and executing to a defined plan for success. As part of Encore's mission to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen, we have recently joined forces with Approved Fire Prevention based out of Bohemia, New York.
