About CanFix Repair

CanFix Repair is a commercial collision repair facility in Burlington specializing in collision and body repairs for commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and fleet vehicles. We are looking for an outgoing and motivated Business Development & Sales Representative to help grow our commercial customer base throughout Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Halton and the surrounding GTA.

This is not primarily a desk-based sales position.

A significant portion of the workweek will be spent outside of the office prospecting, visiting businesses, introducing CanFix Repair to potential customers and developing relationships within the commercial vehicle and transportation industries.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable walking into businesses, introducing themselves, asking questions and creating opportunities where a relationship does not already exist.

The Role The primary goal of this position is simple: bring new commercial customers and repair opportunities to CanFix Repair while developing long-term relationships with businesses that operate vehicles.

You will identify companies with commercial vehicles and fleets, determine who makes decisions regarding collision repairs and vehicle maintenance, introduce CanFix Repair's capabilities and develop those contacts into customers.

This position combines outside sales, business development, relationship building, prospecting and account follow-up.

You will spend time both in the office and on the road, but a large portion of the role is expected to be in the field meeting prospective customers face-to-face.

Key Responsibilities

- Actively identify and pursue new commercial business opportunities
- Conduct regular door-to-door B2B prospecting and cold visits
- Visit businesses throughout the assigned territory to introduce CanFix Repair and our commercial collision repair services
- Build relationships with fleet operators, transportation companies and other businesses operating commercial vehicles
- Identify fleet, maintenance, operations and ownership decision-makers
- Generate leads through cold calling, email, in-person visits, networking and referrals
- Schedule and conduct face-to-face meetings with prospective commercial customers
- Follow up consistently with prospects and existing customers
- Build and maintain an active sales pipeline
- Convert qualified prospects into new CanFix Repair accounts
- Maintain relationships with existing commercial customers and identify additional opportunities
- Represent CanFix Repair professionally at customer locations, industry events and networking opportunities
- Maintain accurate records of customer visits, leads, follow-ups and opportunities
- Track sales activity and results
- Work with the office, estimating and production teams to ensure customer needs are communicated internally
- Learn CanFix Repair's services and capabilities well enough to confidently explain them to prospective customers
- Gather information about competitors, customer needs and opportunities within the local commercial vehicle market
- Assist with sales and marketing initiatives as the company grows

Prospective customers may include:

- Trucking and transportation companies
- Commercial fleet operators
