The Role

Your time will be balanced between networking, hunting, relationship development and bid management responsibilities.  Quick question for you - click here

You'll be based in Indianapolis, with responsibility for business development in the states of Indiana and Kentucky. 

Role Details
Initially, you will spend time in the field office learning about the company and the local operation before prospecting within your assigned territory. You'll do research, network, leverage social media -- do whatever it takes to generate solid leads and build your pipeline. You'll also receive some leads from G4S, but leads are rarely warm, so you will begin the work of building relationships, generating trust, landing meetings and selling our comprehensive products and services from the ground up. You won't be alone in your efforts, however. You can leverage our technical and other internal experts to help close business as needed.

Typically, clients are on a 3-5 year contract, so timing will be critical. Once you've earned the business, either through bid or traditional means, you will continue to maintain that client to ensure they are happy and ready to roll over to a new contract once the initial contract expires. 

More specifically, you will:
  • Analyze the requirements of formal Requests for Proposal (RFP), Requests for Information (RFI), etc. to develop a win strategy to articulate in your proposal  Quick question for you - click here

Diverse workflow
Because you can work across verticals and offer a plethora of solutions, no two weeks will be exactly the same.

Pride
You can feel proud knowing that your efforts will result in safe and secure environments where people can successfully work and thrive.
