Outside Sales - OH
About the role
The client is seeking an Outside Sales Representative for a residential roofing and building products company based in Youngstown, OH. This role requires a high-energy individual with a hunter mentality who can build relationships, win business, and drive long-term growth within the industry.
Responsibilities
- Develop new business opportunities throughout the territory by building relationships with roofing contractors, builders, and industry professionals
- Drive sales growth through prospecting, networking, relationship development, and consistent follow-up
- Promote residential roofing products and accessory systems to both new and existing customers
- Become a trusted advisor to contractors by understanding their business needs and providing solutions

Requirements
The ideal candidate will have outside sales experience, preferably within building materials, roofing, construction, or distribution. Inside sales professionals transitioning to an outside sales role are also encouraged to apply. Strong communication and presentation skills, a hunter mentality, and the ability to work independently are essential. Candidates should be comfortable using CRM systems and Microsoft Office, and possess a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage
- Life & AD&D Insurance
- Long-Term Disability (LTD)
- Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- 401(k) Retirement Plan
What We’re Looking For
A true hunter mentality with the confidence to prospect, cold call, and build relationships from the ground up. Someone who enjoys being in the field and interacting with customers daily, and who is highly motivated, goal-oriented, and capable of working independently. Comfortable using CRM systems and Microsoft Office, and possessing a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This opportunity offers far more than a typical outside sales role. It provides the chance to grow with the business, build a strong territory, and establish yourself as a key contributor within the organization. You will have the ability to make a direct impact on the business while working within an industry that continues to see strong demand and long-term stability.
