What We're Looking For

  • Understand how to win business without always being the lowest price.
  • Take ownership of opportunities and consistently follow up until a decision is made.
  • Be willing to learn the technical side of industrial generators.
  • Be proactive in finding new business rather than waiting for opportunities to come to them.
  • Have the drive and accountability to meet and exceed sales goals.

Performance Expectations

Success in this role will be measured through sales growth, new business development, customer relationships, sales activity, quote generation, pipeline management, and achievement of monthly and annual sales goals.

Our goal is to build a strong, customer-focused sales team that consistently grows market share while delivering outstanding service and long-term value to our customers.
