Who You Are:  

You’re a tenacious, self-driven professional with the fortitude to be a key piece to the continued growth of our Partner Program. You are a relationship-builder ready to make a significant impact in the emergency communication industry linking our partners to code-required services to help them solve their customers’ needs.

More than 12% of our employees have been with the company for 10+ years, and an impressive 25% have been with us 5+ years. How do we do it? Here's what our employees say. We seek out creative employees who love opportunities for continuous learning and growth. We value innovation in not just our products, but the way we work, sell, and grow every day. We celebrate change and are always looking for ways to do things better! 

What You’ll Do:

• Build, cultivate, and source new strategic partnerships and develop existing partners for an assigned territory.

• Work with Kings III Sales Representatives throughout the territory to connect target partners and generate referral opportunities.
• Provide detailed updates as needed on the progress of weekly and monthly goals. 
• Log all activities to maintain accurate and up-to-date CRM records. 
• Embrace a disciplined, repeatable process, and consistently enhance your partner skills and industry knowledge. 

What You’ll Bring: 

• Elevator industry experience is highly preferred, particularly experience working with or selling to independent elevator companies.
• Supplier-side elevator industry experience is a plus, especially if you’ve developed relationships with independent elevator contractors, their owners, leaders, and sales teams.
• Familiarity with the independent elevator company landscape and an existing network of industry relationships is a strong plus.
• Experience developing new business relationships from the ground up, including prospecting, opening doors, building trust, and developing long-term partnerships.
• Experience growing existing relationships and identifying opportunities to generate additional business through those relationships.
• Experience working collaboratively with sales representatives or account owners to create and develop opportunities.
• Experience supporting partner or customer onboarding, training, and ongoing relationship development is preferred.
• Experience using CRM tools such as Salesforce to manage outreach, relationships, activity, and next steps.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
