About the role
The Pump Solutions Consultant is not your average inside sales role. This position plays a mission-critical function within the commercial engine of Discflo. As a bridge between high-potential sales opportunities and closed deals, the Pump Solutions Consultant acts as a hunter, a strategist, a relationship builder, and a project orchestrator.
Primary Responsibilities
- Work hand-in-hand with the assigned Regional Sales Manager to build and execute sales strategies for territory growth, including proactive call campaigns, lead qualification, and targeted outreach to untapped accounts.
- Handle 30–40 outbound calls daily, targeting both warm and cold accounts, to identify pump applications, uncover project potential, and set qualified appointments for outside sales engagement.
- Leverage marketing-generated leads (trade shows, website forms, digital campaigns) and CRM pipeline data to maintain daily sales activity and follow-up rhythm.
- Actively support and expand the sales funnel through prospecting, demo coordination, and identifying future RFQ or replacement pump needs.
- Serve as the primary inside sales support for complex and high-value pump sales cycles. Assist with quote generation, proposal development, and customer communications throughout the buyer journey.

- Ensure all leads, follow-ups, and opportunities are properly documented in the CRM system (HubSpot) and monitored through to close.
- Take ownership of large project inquiries and RFQs, guiding them from initial qualification to final close. Serve as a cross-functional project lead, responsible for assigning internal roles, aligning timelines, and providing communication across operations, engineering, and executive leadership.
- Track and manage project milestones, deadlines, and deliverables to ensure timely execution and high customer satisfaction.
- Work closely with key internal stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical requirements, pricing, and production capacity.
- Partner with the VP of Business Development and Inside Sales Manager to design strategic calling campaigns, penetration strategies, and follow-up systems that convert leads into long-term customers.
- Contribute to the development of sales playbooks, outreach scripts, and market segmentation strategies to support organizational scaling.
