Responsibilities
- Conduct daily "boots on the ground" cold calling and site visits with industrial parks and distribution hubs to identify new business opportunities.
- Perform detailed site assessments to diagnose equipment needs (docks, levelers, high-speed doors) and provide custom-engineered solutions.
- Partner closely with Service Technicians to turn maintenance leads and equipment failures into long-term service contracts and capital upgrades.
- Build and maintain a robust pipeline by nurturing long-term relationships with facility managers, owners, and general contractors.
- Utilize CRM tools to create meticulous, technically accurate proposals, ensuring all job specifications and safety requirements are met.
- Actively market our brand within the industrial sector using social networking, drop-ins, and professional presentations to win market share.

- 2+ years of B2B sales experience with a proven track record in outside sales, industrial services, construction, or equipment leasing.
- Proven territory management experience — demonstrated ability to develop a cold territory into a profitable book of business.
- CRM proficiency with the ability to manage lead pipelines and technical data using modern sales tools.
