Sales Representative - General Contractor

About the role

Tampa, FL (On-Site) Built for People Who Build Markets. Own Your Pipeline, Drive Your Income. Are you a true hunter who knows how to get in the door before the bid list is even drawn up? We are looking for a relentless GC Sales Representative to own a book of business within the general contractor and construction channel — selling dock and door solutions on new construction and retrofit projects. In this role, you aren't just responding to bids; you are shaping specifications, becoming the preferred vendor of record, and building a sustained pipeline of project-based revenue with uncapped commission potential. If you thrive in long-cycle, relationship-driven sales and compete with an underdog's grit and a professional's discipline — this role is built for you.

Responsibilities

• Channel Prospecting: Conduct proactive outreach to general contractors, construction managers, developers, and subcontractors to identify active and pre-construction project opportunities within your assigned territory.
• Bid & Specification Management: Engage early in the project lifecycle to influence specifications, submit accurate and competitive project bids, and position DuraServ as the preferred dock and door solutions provider.
• Project Pipeline Ownership: Maintain a disciplined, forward-looking pipeline of new construction and retrofit opportunities using CRM tools — tracking bid status, decision timelines, and competitive position on every active project.
• Cross-Channel Collaboration: Partner with End User Sales Representatives and Service Technicians to ensure seamless project handoffs, identify service contract opportunities post-installation, and maximize total account revenue.
• Relationship Development: Build and sustain trusted relationships with GC procurement leads, project managers, estimators, and ownership groups to earn preferred vendor status on future work.
• Proposal & Quote Management: Prepare technically accurate, professionally presented project proposals and quotes that reflect scope, specifications, and site requirements with zero margin for error.
• Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of project activity in the local construction market — tracking permits, planned developments, and competitor positioning — to ensure DuraServ is engaged before the competition.
• Sales Cycle Ownership: Manage the full sales process from initial bid invitation through contract award, coordinating internal resources to ensure delivery commitments are met and client expectations are exceeded.

Requirements

• High School diploma or equivalent required; Associate or Bachelor's degree preferred.
• 2+ years of B2B outside sales experience with a proven track record in construction sales, building products, or related industrial services.
• Demonstrated experience managing a project-based sales pipeline from bid to close within the general contractor or construction channel.
