What You’ll Be Doing

• Serve as a primary face of the company with existing customers, prospects, and new business opportunities

• Follow up on incoming leads and convert opportunities into lasting customer relationships
• Develop efficient daily and weekly travel routes to meet with existing customers and prospect businesses within surrounding areas
• Identify potential opportunities while visiting industrial areas and proactively introduce the company's capabilities to prospective customers
• Tour manufacturing and industrial facilities to learn about customers' equipment, maintenance challenges, and repair needs
• Ask thoughtful questions to uncover opportunities involving machinery maintenance, repair, machining, fabrication, and related industrial services
• Maintain consistent communication and follow through on commitments made to customers
• Partner closely with company leadership and the shop team to understand customer needs and determine appropriate solutions
• Travel primarily throughout Central Florida, with occasional travel to customers in other areas of Florida as needed
• Enter industrial and manufacturing environments while following all customer and company PPE and safety requirements

Who We’re Looking For

• Previous business development, outside sales, account management, or related customer-facing experience preferred
• Strong prospecting skills with an understanding of the sales cycle, follow-up, and relationship development
• Highly personable and comfortable initiating conversations with new people
• Confident making cold calls, walking into prospective businesses, and introducing services to decision-makers
• Self-motivated with a hunter mentality and the ability to work autonomously in the field
• Dependable, trustworthy, organized, and committed to following through on promises made to customers
• Strong verbal communication and relationship-building skills
• Mechanically inclined with an interest in learning how industrial machinery and manufacturing operations work
• Previous exposure to manufacturing, machining, industrial maintenance, mechanical equipment, fabrication, or similar environments is a strong plus
• Comfortable touring active industrial facilities and getting hands-on when necessary
• Able to wear required PPE, including steel-toe boots, safety glasses, and hard hats when required
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the assigned territory

What You Can Expect

• $27.00/hr
