Territory Sales Representative
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Keep all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about company: "IKO Industries Ltd. is a market leader...". That's about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about job description. Could use "About the role" heading for description of role. Or we could have "About the role" for job description summary. Then responsibilities list.
Let's extract:
Job Description paragraph: "The Territory Sales Representative (TSR) is responsible for planning and managing territory activities to achieve sales and market share growth utilizing approved sales and marketing strategy and tools while providing excellent customer service to all customers in territory. The Territory Sales Representative is responsible for sales and administration of their territory. Territories covered are the North, South Dakota and Norther Minnesota."
Then "WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?" list: Competitive compensation/pay package. (USD 70k - 75k + commission) Dental/Vision/Medical benefits. Life Insurance. Health Spending Account. Employee Support and Mental Wellness. Competitive matched retirement savings program – 401k (US) / RRSP (Canada). Be part of a long standing and stable industry leader.
Then bullet list of duties: "When You Join Us, You Will Develop relationships and grow sales with assigned distribution customers in territory. Frequently contact roofing contractors, remodelers, builders, and architects to drive demand. Present products and programs to qualified distributors and end users. Perform product knowledge (PK) training sessions with customers. Manage territory pricing based on competitive situations. Follow up on inquiries from customers or IKO administration in a timely fashion. Manage customer accounts receivable balance and deductions. Investigate and process product quality complaints in territory. Organize and execute a business plan to meet territory sales goals and customer needs. Utilize approved sales/marketing tools within budget."
Then "Our Ideal Candidate" list: Prior sales experience in building products industry preferred. Associate degree preferred. Professional attitude, proactive, detail-focused and deadline oriented. Prior sales experience calling on roofing contractors, builders and/or architects and prior professional sales training preferred. Demonstrated proficiency in the use computer programs such as Microsoft Office products. Demonstrated excellent interpersonal, communication and presentation skills. Demonstrated ability to work effectively independently as well as in a team environment. Demonstrated ability to calling primarily on the end user and performing “pull through” sales techniques.
Then "Work Authorizations And Travel": Must be authorized to work in the United States of America. Up to 100% travel may be required.
Then "Benefits of Employment:" paragraph: IKO recognizes that its success is due to the strength of its employees... etc. This is similar to benefits but we already have benefits list. Might be redundant. We'll keep benefits section with the list from "WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?" plus maybe the paragraph? But we should not duplicate. We'll include benefits as list.
Pay: we have competitive compensation/pay package (USD 70k - 75k + commission). That's specific enough for Pay section.
Schedule: not given. Travel requirement is up to 100% travel may be required. That's not schedule but travel. Could be under Schedule? Not exactly. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule (like full-time, shift). Travel is not schedule. So omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We need to use for each section heading.
We need - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must not include minor metadata like Job ID.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay.
Let's craft.
Section About the role: could be a paragraph summarizing role: The Territory Sales Representative (TSR) is responsible for planning and managing territory activities to achieve sales and market share growth utilizing approved sales and marketing strategy and tools while providing excellent customer service to all customers in territory. The Territory Sales Representative is responsible for sales and administration of their territory. Territories covered are the North, South Dakota and Northern Minnesota. (Note typo Norther -> Northern but we keep as given? We should preserve exactly? Probably keep as given but we can correct? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Changing spelling could be considered altering detail. Safer to keep as given: "Norther Minnesota". We'll keep that.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from "When You Join Us, You Will ..." plus maybe also the earlier responsibilities? But we already included some in About the role. To avoid duplication, we can put the list of duties as Responsibilities.
List items:
- Develop relationships and grow sales with assigned distribution customers in territory.
- Frequently contact roofing contractors, remodelers, builders, and architects to drive demand.
- Present products and programs to qualified distributors and end users.
- Perform product knowledge (PK) training sessions with customers.
- Manage territory pricing based on competitive situations.
- Follow up on inquiries from customers or IKO administration in a timely fashion.
- Manage customer accounts receivable balance and deductions.
- Investigate and process product quality complaints in territory.
- Organize and execute a business plan to meet territory sales goals and customer needs.
- Utilize approved sales/marketing tools within budget.
That's all.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: Could combine "Our Ideal Candidate" and "Work Authorizations And Travel". Requirements could be list of qualifications: Prior sales experience in building products industry preferred. Associate degree preferred. Professional attitude, proactive, detail-focused and deadline oriented. Prior sales experience calling on roofing contractors, builders and/or architects and prior professional sales training preferred. Demonstrated proficiency in the use computer programs such as Microsoft Office products. Demonstrated excellent interpersonal, communication and presentation skills. Demonstrated ability to work effectively independently as well as in a team environment. Demonstrated ability to calling primarily on the end user and performing “pull through” sales techniques. Must be authorized to work in the United States of America. Up to 100% travel may be required.
We could separate Requirements (qualifications) and Skills. But we can put all under Requirements. However we have a separate Skills section maybe for computer programs etc. But we can keep as Requirements.
But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Skills into one section called "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's make two sections: "Requirements" (experience, education, attitude) and "Skills" (computer proficiency, communication, teamwork, independent work, pull-through). Travel and work authorization could be under Requirements as well.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
Section: Responsibilities (list)
Section: Requirements (list): Prior sales experience in building products industry preferred. Associate degree preferred. Professional attitude, proactive, detail-focused and deadline oriented. Prior sales experience calling on roofing contractors, builders and/or architects and prior professional sales training preferred. Must be authorized to work in the United States of America. Up to 100% travel may be required.
Section: Skills (list): Demonstrated proficiency in the use computer programs such as Microsoft Office products. Demonstrated excellent interpersonal, communication and presentation skills. Demonstrated ability to work effectively independently as well as in a team environment. Demonstrated ability to calling primarily on the end user and performing “pull through” sales techniques.
That seems reasonable.
Benefits: list from WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? plus maybe the Benefits of Employment paragraph? The paragraph is generic; we could include as prose under Benefits. But we already have list; adding prose may be okay. However we must not repeat duplicated lines. The paragraph mentions competitive compensation, health care, progressive workplace, teamwork, integrity. That's somewhat overlapping with list but not exact duplicate. We could include it as a
under Benefits.
Pay: we have competitive compensation/pay package (USD 70k - 75k + commission). That's specific. We'll put as
.
Schedule: none.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed.
