1. Territory Strategy & New Business Development

• Build & Execute Your Territory Plan: Develop a strategic territory map targeting high-value commercial accounts, priority verticals, and key business corridors across assigned regions.

• Relentless Outbound Hunting: Proactively prospect through outbound calling, field canvassing, door-knocking, networking, industry association events, and strategic channel partnerships.

• Leverage the AAA Brand Advantage: Tap into the broader AAA organization, member relationships, and local business ecosystems to generate qualified introductions and establish high-value referral channels.

• Maintain High Prospecting Velocity: Execute a disciplined daily and weekly activity rhythm sufficient to consistently build a robust pipeline and hit established Monthly Recurring Revenue (RMR) targets.

2. Consultative Sales & Solution Development

• Executive Discovery & Site Audits: Conduct deep-dive discovery meetings and perform physical facility walks across diverse commercial environments (office complexes, retail networks, warehouses, daycare chains, auto hubs, and construction sites).

• Value-Based Presentations: Prepare clear proposals, financial justifications, and executive presentations that articulate risk reduction, operational impact, and long-term business value.

• Contract Execution: Lead complex opportunities through the complete cycle; from discovery and site survey to proposal, multi-stakeholder negotiation, contract execution, and smooth operational handoff.

3. Account Strategy & CRM Discipline

• Executive Presence: Strong consultative discovery, presentation, negotiation, and closing skills with C-suite executives, property managers, and business owners.

• RMR & Financial Acumen: Understanding of contract margins, pricing strategy, and the economic value of Monthly Recurring Revenue (RMR).

• Technical Curiosity: While direct commercial security experience is not required, we do require the curiosity and drive to "geek out" on modern smart-building tech and cloud analytics.

• CRM Discipline: Proficient experience utilizing Salesforce or enterprise CRM tools for disciplined pipeline management.

• Territory Mobility: Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and the willingness to travel across assigned commercial corridors to conduct site surveys and close business.
