  • Target businesses consuming approximately 1,500+ gallons of diesel fuel per month.
  • Take a consultative, value-based sales approach to understand customer operations, identify inefficiencies, and demonstrate the financial and operational benefits of onsite refueling.
  • Overcome pricing objections by communicating the value of reduced downtime, improved productivity, and fuel management efficiencies.
  • Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting and qualifying opportunities through proposals, negotiations, and closing.
  • Consistently meet or exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual new business development goals.
  • Maintain accurate prospecting activity, customer information, and sales forecasts within the company CRM.
  • Collaborate with operations and internal teams to ensure successful onboarding and service delivery for new customers.

  • Year 1 OTE: Approximately $110K.
  • Year 2 OTE: $120K $130K+, with significant upside for top performers.
  • Uncapped Commission: Strong earning potential as new business production grows.
  • Annual Company Performance Bonus: Target of 10% of base salary, based on company performance.
  • Car Allowance plus company fuel card.
  • Health Insurance: Multiple medical plan options.
  • 401(k): Company matching contributions.
