Proactive Follow-up: Consistently follow up on outstanding quotes and proposals, overcoming customer objections to close transactional sales and secure purchase orders.

Order Entry & Verification: Accurately process customer purchase orders, verifying that pricing, part numbers, lead times, and terms of sale align perfectly with the original quote before entering them into the system.

Sales Support Ecosystem: Collaborate daily with Strategic Account Managers to support key accounts, and partner with Estimators to hand off highly complex, custom engineering inquiries. Expediting & Logistics: Work closely with purchasing, manufacturing brands, FCG brands, and logistics teams to expedite critical orders, proactively communicating potential delays and resolution steps to the customer.

CRM Maintenance: Maintain meticulous records of customer interactions, quotes, and opportunities within the CRM system to ensure accurate pipeline reporting and sales forecasting.

Qualifications & Skills

Experience: 3+ years of experience in inside sales, customer service, or application support within the industrial flow control, fluid handling, valve automation, or instrumentation industry is strictly required.

Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a technical or business discipline is preferred, or equivalent specialized industry experience.

Product Familiarity: Strong fundamental knowledge of flow control technologies, equipment, and industrial distribution processes. Systems Proficiency: Experience utilizing ERP systems, CRM software (e.g., Salesforce), and digital sizing/configuration tools.

Interpersonal Skills: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills with a natural ability to build trust, handle difficult customer scenarios with grace, and maintain high energy over the phone.

Multitasking & Urgency: Highly organized with a strong sense of urgency and the ability to prioritize and manage a high volume of emails and phone inquiries in a fast-paced environment.
