Louisville, KY | Central Region

Perfection Group is seeking a motivated Client Development Specialist to support maintenance sales and new-business growth throughout our Central Region.

This is an introductory sales opportunity designed for someone who wants to build a career in commercial HVAC sales. You’ll receive support and coaching from experienced Sales and Operations leaders while developing the prospecting, customer-discovery, financial-selling, and presentation skills needed to advance into a Maintenance Sales Representative position.

Candidates who demonstrate consistent performance and readiness may be eligible for advancement within approximately 6–24 months.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and research prospective commercial and industrial customers
• Generate new opportunities through phone calls, email, LinkedIn, social media, networking, in-person outreach, and other creative prospecting methods
• Contact decision-makers and schedule introductory meetings and facility visits
• Qualify prospects based on their facility needs, business priorities, and potential fit with Perfection Group
• Conduct initial discovery conversations and needs assessments
• Build relationships with executives, facility leaders, managers, and maintenance professionals
• Maintain consistent outreach activity and follow-up with prospective customers
• Manage multiple prospects and sales-development activities simultaneously
• Accurately document contacts, activities, opportunities, and next steps in HubSpot
• Partner with Sales, Operations, and technical team members to learn our solutions and support opportunity development
• Participate in regional sales meetings, training, trade shows, networking events, and community activities
• Travel occasionally to other Central Region offices, including Lexington, Kentucky, and Charleston, West Virginia

What We’re Looking For

• A strong interest in developing a career in business-to-business sales
• Confidence initiating conversations and engaging people you have not previously met
• Willingness to prospect consistently through phone, email, social media, networking, and in-person outreach
• Curiosity and the ability to ask thoughtful questions about a customer’s facility and business
• Strong verbal, written, interpersonal, and presentation skills
• A positive attitude and openness to coaching, feedback, and new approaches
• Self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through
• Ability to manage multiple prospects, activities, and priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Comfort using Microsoft Office and learning HubSpot, LinkedIn, AI tools, and other sales technologies
• Willingness to learn the fundamentals of commercial HVAC, facility operations, and financial selling

A bachelor’s degree in business, sales, marketing, or a related field is preferred but not required. One or more years of business-to-business sales, customer-facing, lead-generation, or appointment-setting experience is helpful, but we are also open to candidates with the drive and transferable skills to grow into the role.

Your Development Path

To prepare for advancement into a Maintenance Sales Representative position, you’ll work toward demonstrating:

• A strong understanding of Perfection Group’s service offerings and sales process
• Consistent prospecting activity and the ability to develop qualified opportunities

• The ability to communicate the value of both individual services and bundled facility solutions
• Effective participation in customer and regional sales presentations
• Strong organization, follow-through, resilience, and self-motivation
• Readiness to independently manage a sales territory and opportunity pipeline

Advancement is based on demonstrated performance, skill development, business needs, and readiness; it is not guaranteed solely by time in the position.
