Work Environment & Outside Sales Responsibilities

This position is primarily responsible for independently developing new business opportunities, soliciting prospective customers, and securing commercial preventative maintenance service agreements. The employee is expected to customarily and regularly conduct sales activities away from Marick's offices, including in-person customer meetings, facility visits, prospecting activities, and contract negotiations at customer locations.

The role requires independent territory management, customer relationship development, and accountability for achieving established sales and recurring revenue targets. Office-based reporting, CRM maintenance, proposal development, and administrative activities support the employee's own outside sales efforts.

The responsibilities above describe the general nature of the role and may evolve based on business needs.
