This role is built for a high-energy, competitive sales professional who thrives on opening doors, challenging the status quo, and consistently exceeding targets.

Account & Territory Management

• Execute territory and account plans, providing tactical feedback to Strategic Account Managers on strategic site-level accounts.
• Partner with Inside Sales Representatives to ensure effective aftermarket coverage and a consistent customer experience.

Sales Execution

• Aggressively prospect, qualify, and advance opportunities through the full sales cycle with a “win the deal” mindset.
• Demonstrate resilience and persistence in overcoming objections, navigating complex buying processes, and competing against entrenched incumbents.
• Drive momentum in deals through regular customer engagement, clear next steps, and assertive follow-up
• Maintains accurate opportunity management, forecasting, and activity tracking within the company CRM.

Hunter Traits & Mindset

• Highly competitive, self-motivated, and energized by performance-based compensation.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating opportunity where none previously existed.
• Results-obsessed with a strong internal drive to exceed quota and territory targets.
• Willing to be uncomfortable—cold calling, walking plants, and pushing into new accounts.
• Demonstrates grit, resilience, and a refusal to accept “no” as a final answer.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• New account acquisition and new logo revenue
• Pipeline creation velocity and pipeline coverage ratio
• Activity-based leading indicators (new meetings, first-time site visits, new decision-maker contacts)
• Win rate against competitive takeaways
