You're comfortable walking into a business, introducing yourself, asking questions, and earning the right to have a deeper conversation. You enjoy learning how a business operates. You can talk with an owner about more than equipment and price—you want to understand what they're trying to accomplish and determine how Holt can help them get there. You take ownership of your results. You want to win, but you understand that how you win matters. And when you see an underdeveloped territory, you see opportunity, not uncertainty. Our Values How we do business matters just as much as the results we produce. Our values guide how we serve our customers, work with each other, and grow our company. Tenacity — We continuously strive to improve the experience for our customers. We have an insatiable will to win. Integrity — We're guided by strong moral principles and character. We're straightforward and truthful in all we do. Teamwork — We trust, respect, and support each other. We cooperate and collaborate to achieve greatness together. Accountability — We take personal responsibility to deliver on every commitment. We provide unsurpassed service and value. Passion — We're authentically enthusiastic in all we do. We enjoy the relationships we build and the success we create together. We're looking for a Territory Manager who doesn't just agree with those values—they demonstrate them in the way they sell, serve customers, and work with their team. Don't Check Every Box? Great Territory Managers don't all come from the same background. Maybe you have strong HVAC or plumbing experience but less time in outside sales. Maybe you're an accomplished B2B salesperson who needs to deepen your industry knowledge. Maybe your experience doesn't perfectly match every qualification above, but you've built a track record of learning quickly, earning trust, and producing results. We're willing to invest in the right person. What we can't teach is character, curiosity, competitiveness, accountability, and the desire to grow. Why Join Us? At Holt Supply, you’re not just joining a company, you’re joining a team that values collaboration, growth, and mutual success. We offer competitive benefits, ongoing training opportunities, and a supportive environment where you can build your career.
