The Role

This position offers a competitive base salary and uncapped commissions structure with the REALISTIC opportunity to double your base in year one. In addition to the expectation to develop new business, you will be provided with an existing base of accounts to maintain and grow.

The purchase is typically high dollar and considered a capital expense requiring a multi-level buyer decision-making process. The sales cycle can be long and consistent follow up is essential as the salesperson/company needs to be top of mind for the buyer when the need for the product arises. In addition, this individual will be responsible developing a strong relationship with local/regional branches of our national accounts. Although the national account is managed by our business development directors, the support (technical assistance, training, education, etc.) at the local and regional level will be provided by the territory manager.

Reporting to the Director of Sales, this role will require you to find new business opportunities, growing existing business, set up meetings, plan and prepare presentations, communicate new product developments to prospective and existing clients, and work with our operations, logistics and marketing departments across several locations.

• Building and managing a sales funnel/pipeline
• Overseeing all aspects of the customer relationship, developing and executing growth strategies to meet/exceed revenue targets for the region
• Collaborating with executive leadership to execute strategic account plans to build successful partnerships with our customers for sustainable growth – including gaining and analyzing market data/intelligence on an on-going basis
