Business Development Manager

About PLACE:

PLACE is shaping the future of real estate. We are revolutionizing the real estate industry
with advanced technology and innovative strategies. Our intuitive platform simplifies the
real estate processes, providing clients with the tools and insights needed to excel.

About Connect

Connect is a home-services platform within Transactly, a PLACE company. We help
homebuyers, renters, and homeowners navigate the services that come with a
move—from utilities and internet to other essential home needs—through a simpler,
more coordinated experience.
PLACE brings together real estate teams, technology, mortgage, title, and consumer
services. As part of that ecosystem, Connect has opportunities to grow through both
external partnerships and relationships across the PLACE network.

The Role

We are seeking a driven Business Development Manager to build Connect’s
new-business pipeline and close new distribution partnerships. You will prospect into
organizations that influence or serve consumers throughout the homebuying, lending,
and moving journey, create demand for Connect, and convert that demand into signed
business.
This is a true hunter role with full-cycle ownership. You will build target lists, develop
relationships, create opportunities through personalized outbound outreach, and
manage the sales process from first contact through close. After signature, you will
partner with Customer Success to ensure a clean handoff and successful
implementation before returning your focus to the next opportunity.

What You’ll Own

• Outbound demand generation: Own the day-to-day outbound motion across
  priority segments, including mortgage lenders, real estate organizations,
  PropTech platforms, and other businesses with access to movers and
  homeowners.
• Prospecting and pipeline creation: Research target accounts, identify
  decision-makers, develop relevant messaging, and consistently generate
  qualified meetings and opportunities through phone, email, social outreach,
  referrals, industry relationships, conferences, and events.
• Full-cycle sales: Manage opportunities from first contact through discovery,
  presentations, solution alignment, objection handling, negotiation, contracting,
  and signature.
• New revenue creation: Carry a new-business target and convert self-sourced
  opportunities into signed partnerships that generate measurable consumer
  volume and revenue for Connect.
• Partner development: Understand a prospect’s customer journey and clearly
  communicate how Connect can improve the experience while creating value for
  the partner.
• Customer Success handoff: Work with Customer Success and implementation
  teams to transfer objectives, commitments, stakeholders, and launch
  requirements clearly after closing.
• PLACE ecosystem collaboration: Pursue relevant opportunities and warm
  introductions across PLACE companies and teams while staying focused on
  Connect’s core sales goals.
• Commercial rigor: Maintain accurate pipeline, activity, forecasting, next steps,
  and attribution in HubSpot, using performance data to improve targeting,
  conversion, and sales-cycle efficiency.
• Cross-functional coordination: Engage Connect leadership, Product,
  Operations, Marketing, Legal, Customer Success, and Implementation resources
  at the right moments to move deals forward.

  self-sourced pipeline

  companies, PropTech platforms, home-services providers, or adjacent
  consumer-focused organizations

  cold accounts, handle rejection, and maintain momentum across a high-activity
  pipeline
