Responsibilities

• This is an outbound-driven position for someone energized by opening doors, breaking into new accounts, and consistently building a pipeline from scratch across a broad range of transportation and logistics service lines
• Positioned under the VP of Customer Success in a prominent asset-based 3PL, the BDM will independently prospect and qualify target shippers, tailoring solutions across dry van, flatbed, tanker, and specialty segments, while working closely with Operations, Pricing, Safety, and Customer Success to structure winning proposals
• The BDM's primary aim is to win new clients and expand Dupre's footprint in new markets and segments, not to service or grow existing book-of-business relationships once won
• Owns the entire customer acquisition cycle, from target list development and outbound prospecting through qualification, solution design, proposal preparation and presentation, contract negotiation to close, contract signing, start-up and customer service follow-up after the sale
• The challenge is to consistently generate and close new business across Dupre's core and specialty service offerings

• Strong financial acumen with the ability to interpret pro formas, rate structures, and margin analysis
• Disciplined use of CRM tools to build, track, and forecast a self-generated sales pipeline
• Excellent presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
