This 2-way customer loop will also require you to partner with and assist laboratory operations to ensure that customer questions and service issues are satisfactorily addressed and resolved.
• You will present IDEXX's values to our customers in a professional manner, including an understanding of our industry, veterinary practice, customers, technology, operations and processes.
• You will have the opportunity to attend trade shows and other educational events in the region.
• You’ll be asked to manage IDEXX expenses and resources in line with company guidelines and directives.
• You will adhere to and model the IDEXX purpose and guiding principles.
• Other duties as assigned.

What You Need To Succeed

• You possess bachelor's or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• You have 5 or more years of proven experience successfully managing your own outside sales territory.
• Your ideal territory management sales experience has been in the veterinary/animal health industry, Human Healthcare or medical device sales, dental device sales, and/or prior capital equipment sales.
• You can work well with others in a highly team oriented, collaborative, sales environment.
• You are able to meet the requirements of a field sales role that include but are not limited to extensive car travel (company car provided), some travel overnight as needed as well as flexibility for potential weekend work (as needed) to attend tradeshows or other occasion meeting and are able to lift up to 60 pounds. Hold a valid driver’s license.
• This is veterinary sales; you should be comfortable with going into veterinary clinic and hospital environments.
• Candidates must reside within or be willing to relocate into the Houston West territory (greater Bunker Hill Village, Katy, Bellville, Columbus, La Grange areas).

What You Can Expect From Us

• Competitive Base Salary $90,000 - $110,000, flexible based on experience
• Lucrative quarterly commission structure.
• Health / Dental / Vision Day one.
