    Territory Sales Representative | Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

    Are you a hunter?

    We’re working with an established manufacturer that is looking for a Territory Sales Representative to build new business across Texas.

    This is a true new-business / hunter sales role. The person in this position will spend their time identifying prospective independent retailers and dealers, getting in front of decision-makers, opening new accounts, and growing those relationships from the first order forward.

    If you enjoy prospecting, getting new logos, building a territory from the ground up, and closing business, this could be a great opportunity.

    What you’ll actually be doing

    You’ll own a defined territory and be responsible for finding and developing new customers.

    Your day-to-day will include:

    • Prospecting independent retailers, dealers and other potential B2B customers that are not currently doing business with the company
    • Building a pipeline of target accounts and consistently moving prospects toward a close
    • Making outbound calls, conducting field visits and developing relationships with business owners and decision-makers
    • Opening new accounts and helping customers through setup, onboarding and their first orders
    • Identifying opportunities to increase product penetration and grow newly established accounts
    • Conducting virtual product and sales training for customers
    • Keeping customers informed about products, promotions, sales opportunities and company events
    • Visiting prospective customers throughout the territory
    • Tracking prospecting activity, customer conversations and follow-up in the CRM
    • Gathering competitive information on pricing, competitors, purchasing habits and market activity
    • Working independently while partnering with internal teams to support your customers

    The person we're looking for

    This is the important part.

    We are looking for someone who has a demonstrated history of winning new business, not simply managing an existing book of accounts.

    You should have:

    • Outside B2B sales experience
    • A proven track record of prospecting and closing new accounts
    • Experience developing a geographic territory
    • Strong cold-calling, relationship-building and negotiation skills
    • The ability to identify decision-makers and create opportunities from scratch
    • Experience selling through or to independent retailers, dealers, distributors or other B2B customers is highly desirable
    • Strong presentation and communication skills
    • CRM experience
    • The ability to work independently and manage your own pipeline
    • A willingness to spend significant time in the field

    Industry experience

    Experience in building products, home improvement, flooring, windows, doors, cabinets, countertops, interior products, consumer durables or a related industry would be a plus.

    However, industry experience is not required.

    We would absolutely consider a strong B2B sales hunter from another industry who knows how to open doors and win new accounts.

    The logistics

    ?? Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

    This is a non-remote, direct-hire position.

    When you're not traveling in the territory, you'll work from the company's DFW-area showroom five days per week.

    Travel can be up to 75%, including some multi-day and overnight travel throughout the assigned territory.

    You will need:

    • Valid driver's license
    • Reliable personal vehicle
    • Current auto insurance
    • Ability to accommodate overnight and multi-day travel

    Compensation & Benefits

    $90,000 base salary + commission

    Plus:

    • Medical, dental and vision
    • Life insurance
    • Short- and long-term disability
    • Paid time off
    • Paid holidays
    • 401(k) with company match after one year
    • Travel expense reimbursement
    • Additional company-sponsored benefits
