Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

Ask: “What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?”

What you'd do
Build relationships with plumbers, property managers, insurance agents, and other businesses that often deal with water and fire damage in Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan, so they call you when damage happens. You'll find most of your own prospects and book your own meetings.
What you'd sell

Helps restoration companies build sales teams that bring in work

When a restoration company wants more jobs from insurance agents, plumbers, and property managers, it usually leans on paid leads, the weather, or good luck. The problem is, weather and luck come and go, so the work comes and goes with them. BDA recruits, trains, and manages a sales team for restoration contractors, so the business has its own salespeople going after new work instead of waiting on luck.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  2. 2.

    What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    Has the comp plan changed in the last 12 to 18 months? What changed?

    A plan that changes every year means the goalposts keep moving.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  5. 5.

    What's the OTE, and what did the median rep earn last year?

    Base is what you're guaranteed. OTE and the median show the upside.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

› When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Field Sales Representative – Property Restoration Services Restoration & Environmental Services | Ann Arbor & Southeast Michigan Territory | Outside B2B Sales Base Salary $65K–$75K • Uncapped Commission • $100K+ Earning Potential • Vehicle Provided or Allowance One good relationship can be worth more than a hundred cold calls. A plumber who repairs burst pipes regularly walks into water damage. A property manager with a few hundred units deals with leaks, fires, and mold more often than they'd like. An insurance agent hears about losses from clients all year long. Each of them has to decide who to call when a property is damaged. Your job is to make sure the answer is you, before the damage ever happens. That's the whole role: find the people who regularly run into property damage, earn their trust, and keep earning it. Do that consistently, and your pipeline keeps producing on its own. How the Work Builds On Itself 1. Find the right partners. Identify the businesses in your territory that run into property damage most often, and prioritize the ones worth the most time. 2. Earn the relationship. Get in the door through prospecting, cold outreach, networking, and in-person visits. Have consultative conversations about how they handle losses today rather than pitching a product. 3. Deliver through the team. When a referral comes in, our operations team handles the job. You stay close to the partner and work with operations and leadership to make sure the outcome reflects well on both of you. 4. Repeat and expand. A partner who's had a good experience sends the next job, and the one after that. Meanwhile, you're already working on the next relationship. Over months, those partners add up to predictable, recurring deal flow that you built and that stays in your protected territory. Who You'll Call On • Plumbers, HVAC companies, and general contractors • Multifamily owners and commercial property groups • Property and facility managers • Insurance agents and adjusters • Senior living communities and healthcare facilities Day to Day, You'll Be… • Hunting for new referral partners and commercial accounts, and farming the ones you've already won • Booking and holding in-person meetings throughout the territory • Presenting our emergency response capabilities and explaining mitigation and restoration services to partners and clients • Showing up at association events, networking functions, and some after-hours industry gatherings • Logging activity, pipeline, and follow-up in CRM so nothing slips • Coordinating with operations and leadership on customer outcomes You'll be supported by a proven system for building referral pipelines and by leadership that understands sales. The activity that drives results is yours to own. This Fits Someone Who… • Would rather build a book of business that grows over time than start over every year • Is comfortable walking in cold and starting a territory from zero • Follows up reliably without being reminded • Thinks strategically about where to spend time • Is coachable but doesn't need constant direction • Communicates and presents well with business owners and managers This role is not a fit for someone who wants leads handed to them or prefers short, one-call sales cycles. The Company Behind Your Handshake Cousino Restoration & Environmental has served Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan for more than 60 years, with tens of thousands of completed restoration projects. As part of the Fleet Response family of companies, we can respond to projects of any size, including area-wide disasters. That matters to you, because your referrals depend on the job going well. Here, sales, operations, marketing, and leadership are aligned, so the promises you make to partners are ones the company can keep. Ready to Build Your Network? If you want your income to come from relationships you own rather than leads you're handed, apply today. We'd like to show you the territory and how the role works. Work Location: On the road Requirements What You Need • 2+ years of B2B outside sales experience • Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation • Ability to pass a background screening • Ability to attend in-person meetings and networking events throughout the territory • Comfort managing pipeline, scheduling, and documentation in CRM and on phone, tablet, and web tools What Helps • Experience selling services to commercial clients • Background in restoration, insurance, property management, multifamily, healthcare, hospitality, or senior living Benefits Pay, Benefits & Perks • $65,000–$75,000 base salary plus uncapped commission • $100K+ income potential • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance, plus gas card / company credit card • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance • HSA/FSA • 401(k) with up to 4% company match • Unlimited PTO, paid sick time, and 7 paid holidays • Laptop, phone, and technology support • Room to grow your career in an expanding market A Year From Now If the work above is done consistently, 6 to 12 months in you should have a referral network that's sending you real opportunities, a full calendar of weekly partner meetings, a pipeline that keeps growing, a recognized presence in the territory, and income trending toward $100K+.
