Job Description

Company Summary

Established commercial mechanical contractor seeking an experienced Service Sales Representative to support continued growth in the Orlando, Florida area. The company provides commercial HVAC service, repair, retrofit, replacement, renovation, upgrade, and related mechanical solutions to commercial customers across a variety of industries.

Job Summary

The Service Sales Representative will be responsible for developing new commercial HVAC business and expanding service opportunities throughout the Greater Orlando area. This is a true business-development and hunter role. The successful candidate will be expected to generate their own opportunities through cold calling, prospecting, networking, site visits, referrals, industry events, and other direct sales activities. This position is not primarily an account-management or inbound-sales role. The ideal candidate will currently be working for a commercial mechanical/HVAC contractor and have strong technical knowledge of commercial HVAC equipment and systems. The individual will be expected to independently identify opportunities, perform site evaluations, estimate work, develop proposals, present solutions, negotiate, and close business. The role will focus heavily on commercial retrofit and replacement opportunities, with ongoing service and preventive maintenance sales also included.

Responsibilities

• Prospect for and develop new commercial HVAC customers throughout the assigned territory.
• Generate opportunities through cold calling, in-person visits, networking, referrals, industry events, and other self-directed activities.
• Identify and qualify commercial HVAC service, retrofit, replacement, renovation, and upgrade opportunities.
• Develop relationships with facility managers, property managers, building owners, and other commercial decision-makers.
• Conduct site visits and evaluate customer needs and existing HVAC systems.
• Develop practical HVAC solutions based on customer requirements, existing equipment, building conditions, and project objectives.
• Prepare estimates and develop professional proposals.
• Present proposals and solutions directly to prospective customers.

• Develop new relationships while expanding business with existing customers.
• Maintain an organized sales process while managing numerous prospects at different stages.

• Consistently pursue new business and achieve established sales and booking objectives.
