This is a hands-on leadership role focused on customer growth, team development, and strong execution across bookings, recurring revenue, pricing, and territory performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the district or branch service sales team to meet or exceed customer, employee, and sales goals.
  • Own sales plan achievement for all service sales activities within the assigned geographic area.
  • Drive bookings growth by expanding existing accounts and developing new business opportunities.
  • Partner with Area Sales and General Managers to develop sales strategies, negotiate contracts, and execute pricing strategy.
  • Monitor sales performance, refine approaches as needed, and reallocate resources to improve results.
  • Support the development of marketing, customer retention, advertising, pricing, and distribution strategies for the territory.
  • Coach and train the sales force on products, services, campaigns, sales promotions, sales techniques, and performance standards.
  • Build, hire, develop, and align a high-performing team.
  • Grow and retain the recurring revenue base through direct coaching and mentoring of Service Sales and Customer Care teams.

  • Collaborate with other area and nationally based service and solutions sales leaders to share best practices and deliver company objectives.
  • Support the Area General and Area Sales Managers on service-related high-volume sales activities as needed.
  • Develop territory business plans covering business development, sales staffing, market assignments, strategic customer development, and industry relations.
  • Ensure company policies and procedures are understood, communicated, and followed.

How You Will Do It

  • Use coaching, performance reviews, and continuous improvement to strengthen both individual and team results.
  • Work across sales, operations, and leadership teams to remove obstacles and help customers succeed.

  • Lead by example in pricing discipline and contractual quality to support profitable growth decisions.
  • Develop talent through mentoring, ride-a-longs, training, and practical feedback that builds confidence and capability.
  • Use customer and market insight to adjust territory plans, prioritize opportunities, and improve overall sales effectiveness.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
