Business Development Executive
At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day.
Our mission is to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen.
As part of Encore's mission, we've recently joined forces with Fire & Safety Commodities based out of LaPlace, LA. This partnership allows us to expand our footprint and find top talent in the Louisiana area, while working with industry leaders who strive for the same level of excellence as we do.
At Encore, Business Development Executives are our game changers. They are experienced B2B sales hunters who create their own opportunities, build their own pipeline, and turn prospects into long-term partnerships. With sharp instincts, strong networks, and relentless drive, they don't wait for leads to come to them, they go out there and get them.
This isn't about selling a product off the shelf. You're selling a service that protects people and businesses. Every inspection contract you close generates immediate revenue and creates recurring service opportunities and future projects that fuel our business for years to come. In other words, you're not just closing deals, you're building the foundation of Encore's future growth.
