Description


Bisnow is the largest producer of news and events within the commercial real estate industry across North America, Canada, the UK and Ireland. Like any other industry, executives within CRE need to be informed and connected to do their jobs well. And in CRE, doing your job well means doing smarter deals and more of them.


Our mission is to inform, connect and advance the commercial real estate community to do more business. We aspire to be the most data-driven and humanizing digital media, live events and intelligence platform in the galaxy and through this effort, drive the industry to do smarter business. From events and news to branded content and video, our singular voice, attitude and perspective reaches 18 million all-digital readers and more than 100,000 industry insiders who attend our 300+ Bisnow events each year. Operating in more than 50 cities across North America and Europe, we tend to think globally, but strive to connect people hyper-locally.


We are seeking a high energy, collaborative individual to join our National Sales team and focus primarily on Bisnow s Invite-Only Event Series, Escape & Ascent. The perfect fit for this position will have Commercial Real Estate experience, quickly master the right fit for an Escape or Ascent attendee, can maintain and build strong external relationships and will keep up with our fast-paced environment.



So... what does the role entail?

  • Research top investors and developers from across the nation matching our ideal attendee profile and obtain contact information for key contacts at our target companies

  • Optimize the lead to prospect pipeline and manage proper tasks and follow ups

  • Taking prospect meetings and ultimately closing business from each meeting

  • Full accountability for meeting follow ups, ensuring flawless execution of client facing calls, meetings and emails including the scheduling, pre and post meeting follow up, proposal generation, performance tracking, report generation, prospect management and client escalations

  • Manage a clean and well maintained prospecting pipeline in Salesforce

  • Represent Bisnow s team and brand at internal and external events

  • Work with a positive, cross functional team on an everyday basis to make certain of successful sponsorship, marketing and financial performance of all events

  • Report on personal sales metrics weekly, monthly and quarterly

  • Work on improving sales pitch on a weekly basis


Expectations and Strengths:

  • A strong background and passion in the commercial real estate industry.

  • Innate hustle, raw intelligence and infectious enthusiasm.

  • Demonstrated experience excelling in a group or team environment of any sort.

  • Ability to remain receptive to feedback and open, constructive criticism.

  • Capability to work in a high-energy, fast-paced, frequently-changing sales environment.

  • A never give up attitude , positive mental state of mind and strong desire to be challenged on a daily basis. Rejection will come frequently, failures will be commonplace and the odds will be stacked against you and the sales executive you are supporting. If this sounds daunting, the role is not for you. If it sounds challenging and you like the idea of getting knocked down so that you can get back up, great. So do we.

  • Strong intellectual curiosity. We don t believe we are perfect and we certainly don t like to rest on our laurels when we do get things right. Our sales associates will need to meet with other firms to learn and expand their horizons and ultimately improve and further develop our processes to ensure continuous innovation.


What Are The Benefits?

  • We have a highly competitive compensation structure that rewards those who win, incredibly well

  • Vacation is important and we want you to take it. We re also not into bureaucracy so tracking vacation sounds insane and that s why we decided to offer unlimited vacation

  • Health, dental, vision, commuter, short term disability and 401k benefits are included for all our employees

  • You ll get to work with smart, passionate, driven, ambitious, kind, caring and mindful people and will rarely experience an overload of policies, bureaucracy or toxicity (the latter, we do not tolerate. Period)


What are the drawbacks?
Most companies wouldn t dream to include drawbacks on a job description - but we know we re not perfect and don t pretend to be. So here are the most common drawbacks voiced by people who did not find Bisnow to be a good fit.

  • Lack of structure. We ve gone from a handful of entrepreneurs to a company with 100 employees relatively quickly and our management team are mostly in their thirties which means we don t have decades of experience. We re figuring things out as we go, so if you re someone who needs structure in place, we re probably not the place for you but if you consider yourself an entrepreneur and want to help figure things out with a smart team of like-minded go getters, this could be your dream career.

  • Chaotic at times, Bisnow should put proper policies in place. Mario Andretti once said that if things seem under control, you re probably not going fast enough. We don t encourage chaos but we do see a healthy amount of it as a result of exciting growth and we re also not big fans of bureaucracy and find the more policies we implement the more bureaucratic things become.

  • Long hours, not a lot of time off, unlimited vacation means no vacation. We encourage taking long vacations and time off and we truly believe that those sorts of trips can lead to more productivity when people come back and feel more inspired by new ideas. We do work long hours and for some people that s not ideal. As entrepreneurs, we have to love what we do or else we wouldn t be particularly good at it and when you love what you do, you don t really separate work and play but rather integrate the two.

At Bisnow, we believe the interview process is a two way street. We ask that you interview us during this process as much as we plan to interview you. At Bisnow, we expect people to believe in our mission, our vision and our values. We don t simply put these words on a wall. We hire, we fire, we promote, we demote, we bonus or don t bonus, based on our mission, vision and values. So please, take them as seriously as we promise to take your application. Thank you.
