- Build long-term relationships with electrical contractors, utility contractors, municipalities, developers, and renewable energy customers.
- Conduct jobsite visits, project meetings, and customer presentations to identify opportunities and recommend product solutions.
- Prepare competitive quotations, negotiate pricing, and manage projects from bid through final delivery.
- Maintain an active sales pipeline using CRM while forecasting opportunities and tracking customer activity.
- Partner closely with Inside Sales, Customer Service, and Operations to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
- Represent the company at industry events, networking functions, and trade associations while staying informed on market trends and competitive activity.
What we're looking for:
- 3+ years of successful outside sales experience
- Proven ability to develop new business and grow existing accounts
- Strong relationship-building and consultative selling skills
- Experience managing a sales pipeline and CRM
- Comfortable working independently while spending significant time in the field
