Position Sumary:

Blue Landscape & Outdoor Solutions, a family company of Mariani Premier Group, is looking for an Associate Business Developer to knock doors in an exclusive, high-end residential territory and be our very first handshake with homeowners. This is a door-to-door role: you'll be out in the neighborhood, walking the territory and approaching homes directly, not working the phones or a desk. You won't be selling. You'll be the spark: introducing the brand, building real rapport face-to-face on the doorstep, and opening the door for our Business Developers to walk the property and make the offer. This is an ideal position for early-career individuals looking to gain hands-on experience in business operations and sales.

If you thrive on face-to-face connections, are comfortable approaching homes and starting conversations cold, and want to be measured on real results — not just booked calendars, but appointments that actually happen — this is your seat! We are open to full-time or part-time. Perfect for someone with a door-to-door or field sales background who's comfortable talking to affluent clientele and closing the loop on a warm introduction.

Career Path

• Associate Business Developers who consistently meet goals have the potential to move into a Business Developer or Client Representative roles based on performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Territory Canvassing: Work an assigned residential territory face- to- face.

• Deliver the Opening: Introduce yourself and the brand using the approved opening, hook, and ask warm, unhurried, consultative. Never quote prices, discounts, or timelines.

• Qualify Through Conversation: Open with a genuine compliment, then ask 2–3 natural qualifying questions to learn the household's current provider situation and decision-maker(s).

• Capture Complete Lead Data: Record name, address, phone, email, best time to reach, current provider(s), other decision-makers, and access notes (gates, dogs, intercoms) on every qualified contact.

• Book "Set Solid" Appointments: Book property walks that meet the Set Solid standard: right decision-maker, expectations set in one sentence, notes logged, held within three days, and confirmed twice (text plus one follow-up each from Ambassador and Business Developer).

• Hand Off Cleanly: Brief the Business Developer with full notes so the property walk opens warm. Promise nothing beyond the walk itself.

• Log the Full Funnel: Log every address, conversations, qualified leads, Sets, and Sits daily.

• Represent the Brand Standard: Maintain professional appearance, follow posted no-soliciting signs and local solicitation rules, park on the street, and leave every doorstep better than it was found, booked or not.

• Engage Household Staff as Clients: Treat estate and house managers as decision-makers, not gatekeepers. Capture their name and role; a walk arranged through staff counts as a Set.

Qualifications

• Prior experience in direct sales, canvassing, hospitality, or another client-facing role; comfort engaging high-end residential clientele preferred.

• Professional presentation and verbal communication skills; able to build rapport quickly and read social cues.

• Self-motivated and resilient; comfortable with rejection and repetitive door-to-door work.

• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license and pass a motor vehicle (MVR) check.

• Must pass a background check and drug screening prior to start. E-Verify employment eligibility verification is completed upon hire, consistent with federal requirements. This is a promise MPG makes to every client.

• Available during territory-approved field hours (typically mornings 8:00–10:00 a.m. and weekday mid-afternoon through early evening; never past dusk).

• Willingness to learn the assigned brand's service offering, service area, and competitive landscape.

Work Environment

• This is an outdoor, field-based role involving extended walking and standing in residential neighborhoods, in varied weather within safe operating conditions.

• Ambassadors work independently within an assigned territory and coordinate daily with a Business Developer for scheduling and lead handoff.

Position Range: $28.85/hour with the potential to make 124k in total compensation with bonus-annually.
