Part-Time Business Development Representative – Commercial Property (Flexible Hours)

About the Role
Part-Time Business Development Representative – Commercial Property
Location: Brisbane CBD & Inner City
Hours: Approximately 8 flexible hours per week
Pay: $43.75 per hour + superannuation + commission + vehicle reimbursement
Are you an experienced, confident salesperson who enjoys getting out, meeting people and developing new business opportunities?
Scentific is looking for a personable, self-motivated Business Development Representative to help grow our commercial odour-control and scenting business throughout Brisbane.
This is an ongoing, flexible part-time opportunity offering approximately eight hours per week, which can be spread across multiple weekdays to suit your availability and customer meeting times.
The position may particularly suit an experienced salesperson looking for additional flexible work without committing to a full-time role.
About Scentific
Scentific provides managed odour-control and premium ambient scenting systems for residential and commercial buildings.
Our solutions help address persistent odour problems in garbage rooms, waste chute areas and other shared facilities, creating a more pleasant environment for residents, visitors and building staff.
We also offer premium scenting systems for building foyers, lobbies and other common areas.
Our customers benefit from professionally selected equipment, tailored solutions and ongoing servicing.
What You'll Be Doing
Your primary focus will be apartment buildings throughout Brisbane CBD and surrounding inner-city suburbs.
This is a hands-on, field-based business development role. You'll spend your time visiting buildings, meeting people and identifying genuine sales opportunities.
Your responsibilities will include:
Visiting apartment buildings and introducing Scentific to building managers, caretakers and other decision-makers.
Identifying buildings experiencing odour issues or looking to improve their common areas.
Starting conversations and building relationships with prospective customers.
Explaining the benefits of Scentific's commercial odour-control and scenting solutions.
Arranging qualified site inspections for our team.
Following up interested prospects and helping opportunities progress towards a sale.
Recording prospect information and activities in our CRM.
Working with the Scentific team to develop a consistent pipeline of new business.
You won't be expected to conduct technical assessments or design equipment solutions. Our team will handle site inspections, technical recommendations, proposals and installations.
Your focus is on opening doors, creating opportunities and building relationships.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys talking to people and is confident approaching businesses they haven't met before.
Ideally, you'll have:
Previous experience in face-to-face sales, business development or B2B prospecting.
Confidence approaching prospective customers without a prior appointment.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
A friendly, professional and approachable manner.
The ability to work independently and manage your own time.
Good organisational and follow-up skills.
Basic confidence using a CRM or similar software.
A valid driver's licence and access to a reliable, appropriately insured vehicle.
Experience in any of the following would be highly regarded:
Apartment building management or strata/body corporate services.
Facilities management or commercial property.
Commercial cleaning, waste management or building maintenance.
HVAC, pest control or other commercial services.
Selling products or services to building managers and property managers.
Existing relationships within Brisbane's apartment-building or facilities-management industry would be a significant advantage.
What We're Offering
$43.75 per hour plus superannuation.
Approximately 8 flexible hours per week ($350 in base wages).
Flexibility to spread your working hours across multiple weekdays by agreement.
Two-stage commission structure:
Earn commission for qualified site inspections that are successfully completed.
Earn additional commission when your opportunities convert into paying customers.
Use your own vehicle, with approved business kilometres reimbursed at the applicable rate.
Support from our team for technical inspections, proposals and customer onboarding.
An ongoing opportunity with potential for additional hours as the Brisbane territory develops.
Opportunity to expand into other territories, including the Gold Coast.
You'll have the freedom to plan your prospecting activities within your agreed territory and working hours.
We value quality conversations and genuine business opportunities over simply visiting as many buildings as possible.
Why Join Scentific?
This is an opportunity to represent a growing Australian business offering practical solutions to common problems in apartment buildings.
We're looking for someone who enjoys the sales process, values building relationships and would appreciate a flexible role with the opportunity to earn additional income through commission.
You won't be tied to a desk or expected to work a rigid five-day schedule.
Instead, you'll have the opportunity to get out, meet people and help develop a growing commercial market.
