Build a territory. Keep your customers for years.
SealMaster is hiring an Outside Sales Representative to own and grow our Central New York territory, based out of our Syracuse location with support from our Westmoreland store. Your territory covers Syracuse, Utica-Rome, Watertown, Auburn, Ithaca, Binghamton, Oneonta and the surrounding Central NY, North Country and Southern Tier region. You will manage existing accounts and win new ones with paving and sealcoating contractors, municipalities, school districts, property managers and other commercial customers.
Why This Role
Base salary of $80,000 to $100,000 per year, with upside earning potential as you grow your territory. Starting salary within this range is based on experience
Company vehicle, cell phone and laptop
Full product and equipment training. You do not need pavement industry experience
A real book of business: established accounts, local stores behind you and a nationally recognized product line
Direct access to ownership and a sales manager focused on developing you
This Is Not a Quick-Close Job
Our best customers buy from us every season for years. They trust us because we help them win bids, run their crews more efficiently and get more life out of the pavement they manage. Many deals take months: a contractor tests a product, a municipality plans its budget, a property manager bids out next year's work. If you get energy from building relationships, learning a customer's business and being the person they call first, you will do well here. If you need a signed deal every day to stay motivated, this probably is not the role.
What You Will Do
Own a territory plan: who to visit, how often and what each account could become
Visit customers at job sites, offices and our stores; learn how they operate and recommend the right materials and equipment
Run hands-on demos of sealcoating, crack filling and line striping equipment (we will train you)
Grow new accounts with contractors, municipalities, schools, property managers, sport surface contractors and distributors
Quote, follow up and keep every account, opportunity and visit up to date in our CRM
Stay in touch through the off-season. Winter is when next year's business is won
Help with local promotions and trade shows, and occasionally pitch in at the store or deliver an urgent order
Who We Are Looking For
3+ years of outside B2B sales, account management or territory sales. Building materials, contractor supply, equipment, ag, industrial distribution, chemicals or similar is a strong plus
A consultative style: you ask good questions, listen and recommend what is right for the customer, even when it is not the biggest sale
Self-managed and organized. You plan your own week, follow up without being reminded and log your activity
Comfortable on a job site and with equipment; mechanically curious
Confident with a laptop, CRM and email
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
The Fine Print
Full time, salaried. Mostly in the field across the territory, with roughly 10 to 15 overnights per year for training and events
Busy season runs spring through fall and can include some early mornings, evenings or Saturdays
Must be able to lift 50 lbs, work outdoors in summer heat and tow a small equipment trailer
Must be able to obtain a DOT medical card
