-- Position Description --
This is a hybrid remote role located in the Grand Rapids area for a Business Development Contractor. The contractor will be responsible for using their own sales process to generate recurring commercial accounts for BERS Cleaning & Hauling. The Business Development Contractor will bring their sales process in with them with full independence during their process, training cannot be provided to contractors.

Once a facility walkthrough is scheduled the handoff to BERS Cleaning & Hauling employees/owners occurs. We will handle pricing, proposal drafting, and contract drafting. Your only goal is sales, we handle the admin and account management after a contract is secured.
