• Strong working product knowledge across access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, intercom systems, and high-security lock hardware.
• Active Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) registration as an Electronic Security Sales Representative.
• Ability to prospect consistently, qualify opportunities, manage a pipeline, and close profitable business. SMA and managed services sales experience is preferred.
