The Outside Sales Executive owns sales within their assigned territory through proactive prospecting, technical solution development, and consistent customer engagement. This role is accountable for developing new business, expanding existing accounts, and driving opportunities from first touch through project completion.


This is a hybrid sales + technical + project ownership role. Success requires a high level of autonomy, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to translate technical concepts into clear customer value. Outside Sales Executives are expected to operate in the field daily, maintain disciplined pipeline management, and take full ownership of their territory performance.


Due to the nature of Prestige’s business, this role requires a willingness to operate both strategically and tactically, balancing relationship-building, engineering-based solution development, and internal coordination to bring projects to life.

  • Using downtime effectively to: 
    • Build pipeline 
    • Schedule future meetings 
    • Advance existing opportunities 
    • Align internally on active projects 
  • Ensuring your daily activity directly supports pipeline growth and revenue generation

  • Reporting any vehicle issues, incidents, or maintenance needs promptly 
  • Maintaining accurate records (e.g., fuel receipts, mileage) as required 

Daily Operating Expectations


Outside Sales Executives are expected to operate with a high level of structure and accountability:


  • The business hours of Prestige are Monday-Friday from 7 AM – 5 PM EST, however, as an Outside Sales Executive, these hours must be flexible to best fit the customer’s availability and needs and will entail extended hours, some weekends or overnight travel.
  • Begin and end each day in the office unless this is out of the way from scheduled meetings approved by management
  • Participate in daily check-ins (whether in person or on the road) to align on priorities and scheduling 
  • Maintain consistent field activity throughout the day 
  • Record all activity in real time within CRM systems 
  • Conduct end-of-day reviews to ensure alignment, progress, and visibility 
This structure is designed to ensure consistency, improve performance, and maintain alignment across the sales team.



Accountability


This role is directly accountable for:


  • Territory sales performance 
  • Pipeline development and conversion 
  • CRM accuracy and activity visibility 
  • Consistency of field activity and customer engagement 
  • Successful progression of opportunities from lead to completed project 
Failure to maintain standards related to activity levels, CRM usage, communication, and professionalism may result in performance review and corrective action.



Summary
