Established Territory. Existing Accounts. Guaranteed Earnings. Huge Growth Opportunity.
Are you an experienced Industrial Sales professional who enjoys getting into manufacturing plants, speaking with engineers and solving technical problems?
This could be a great opportunity to take ownership of an established territory with an existing customer base, while having plenty of opportunity to grow new business and significantly increase your earnings.
Our client is a growing manufacturer of engineered industrial products and equipment, supplying customers across the manufacturing sector throughout Mid West America.
They are now looking for a Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of a well-established territory covering Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Rockford
.
The Opportunity
This is not a cold-start territory.
You'll inherit an established customer base with repeat business already generating revenue. Regional Sales Managers have historically earned $3,500–$5,500 per month in bonus from existing business.
You'll then have the opportunity to develop new accounts, expand existing relationships and earn 10% commission on new business you bring into the company.
The ideal candidate will have experience selling technical equipment, machinery or engineered solutions into industrial/manufacturing environments.
Experience selling pumps, blowers, vacuum blowers, valves or similar equipment would be a major advantage, but it's not essential.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who understands how manufacturing businesses operate and is comfortable selling technical solutions to the people who influence and make purchasing decisions.
Your customers could include:
Engineering Managers
Project Engineers
Plant Managers
Maintenance Managers
Operations Managers
Purchasing / Procurement
Engineering & Technical Teams
Experience selling into industries such as food & beverage, FMCG, bottling, breweries, bakeries, water & wastewater, plastics, packaging or general manufacturing would be highly relevant.
The Role
You'll be responsible for managing and growing your territory, developing existing accounts and identifying new business opportunities.
You'll spend your time:
Managing and expanding an established customer base of $2m+
Developing new industrial accounts
Visiting manufacturing facilities and understanding customer requirements
Selling technical and engineered solutions
Building relationships with Engineering, Maintenance, Operations and Purchasing
Identifying projects and upcoming capital expenditure opportunities
Working with internal technical and customer support teams
Attending customer meetings, trade shows and industry events
Managing your territory independently and consistently achieving sales targets
This is a field-based sales position, so you'll need to enjoy being in front of customers rather than sitting behind a desk.
Your Territory
You'll be responsible for customers across:
Chicago
Milwaukee
Green Bay
Rockford
Regular travel throughout the territory is expected.
What We're Looking For
2–5+ years' experience in Industrial, Technical, Engineering or Manufacturing Sales or a genuine hunger for success.
Proven experience selling into industrial/manufacturing environments
Experience selling technical equipment, machinery or engineered solutions
Comfortable speaking with engineers, project teams, maintenance and purchasing
Strong consultative and solution-based sales approach
Proven ability to develop existing accounts and win new business
Comfortable managing a large territory independently
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Salesforce experience is advantageous
Bachelor's Degree preferred, but relevant industry experience is equally valued
Experience with pumps, blowers, vacuum blowers, valves, fluid handling, air systems or similar industrial equipment is a major bonus.
What's In It For You?
$75,000–$85,000 base salary
$3,500–$5,500 guaranteed monthly bonus
10% commission on new business
Annual performance bonus
21 days PTO
Family medical, dental and vision coverage
Ongoing training and professional development
Company trips and team events
Opportunity to build and lead your own sales team as the business grows
Established customer base with immediate earning potential
Significant opportunity to grow your territory and earnings
Why Join?
You're getting the best of both worlds: an established book of business and a territory with significant room for growth.
You'll have the security of existing customers generating revenue while having the freedom to develop new accounts and build the territory as your own.
If you're an industrial sales professional who understands manufacturing, enjoys technical selling and wants the opportunity to build something long-term with a growing business, I'd like to hear from you.
