Western OH / Northern IN – Territory Sales Manager

Hayward Distributing

Opportunity:

If you are looking for an entrepreneurial culture and thrive on the freedom to manage your own schedule and push for your next sale – this is an opportunity for you. In this outside sales role, you enjoy driving the territory to sell lawn and garden equipment to dealerships in western Ohio and northern Indiana by demonstrating new equipment, continuously cold calling new dealership prospects, and selling new products.

In this territory, you will sell several well-known commercial equipment lines like Bobcat and Encore lawnmowers; Steiner tractors; EGO battery powered equipment; turf care equipment such as Little Wonder, Ryan, and Brown; and several additional peripheral lines.

You will develop strong relationships with key accounts by doing what you say you will do. This territory offers a strong existing book of business as well as several lines with an opportunity to grow. It is expected that you will be on the road often, but not so much that every week is an extended road trip.

As the ideal territory manager, you are an action oriented sales professional with a passion for equipment as well as hunting for new B2B sales. You are an energetic and positive go getter who would rather make a mistake by doing something the wrong way rather than not at all. You treat people fairly and know how to keep things simple while remaining flexible and nimble. As a tenacious and resourceful individual, you can sell features and benefits of both equipment and sales programs to dealers.

Your responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Make continuous prospect calls
• Prospect and close new customer opportunities
• Establish strong relationships with lawn and garden and rental dealers throughout the territory
• Conduct on-site product demonstrations to gain new or expanded opportunities
• Penetrate existing customer base with new products

• Support distribution and end-user customers with regular contact at all levels
• Train dealer personnel in competitive strategies and product knowledge.
• Prepare and distribute weekly activity reports to sales management
• Contact and collect past due accounts

You will need:

• Passion for sales and a drive to increase them! We are looking for a hunter.
• Ready to work hard
• Evidence of career progression with growth and commitment
• Comfortable driving throughout the territory - road warrior mentality
• Basic computer skills

Preferred:

• Mechanical aptitude
