What are the responsibilities and job description for the Inside Sales Associate position at ANTARES ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTORS INC?
About Us
Antares Electrical Distributors supplies electrical materials to contractors, developers, home builders, and supply houses across the Caribbean. Our mission is simple: we make it easy for our clients to get what they need, when they need it. Our clients are building on islands where a wrong part or a slow quote can stall a job, so we need salespeople who are fast, accurate, and know their material.
What You’ll Do
- Quote incoming requests for quotes (RFQs) and full project bills of materials (BOMs) quickly and accurately
- Read through BOMs and takeoffs to catch missing items, wrong specs, and better alternatives before the quote goes out
- Source pricing and lead times from manufacturers and vendors, and build competitive, profitable quotes
- Follow up on open quotes to win the order
- Convert customer orders into sales orders in NetSuite and make sure every line is right: part numbers, quantities, pricing, and shipping details
- Place purchase orders with vendors for the material needed to fulfill each sales order
- Track order status and keep clients updated on lead times, ship dates, and any changes
- Coordinate with the warehouse on receiving, staging, and export shipping deadlines
- Build relationships with contractors, developers, and supply houses throughout the Caribbean
What We’re Looking For
- 2 years of inside sales, quoting, or counter sales experience in electrical distribution (or a related construction supply field)
- Solid product knowledge: wire and cable, conduit and fittings, distribution equipment, lighting, devices
- Able to read and work through a BOM or material list with accuracy
- Strong with numbers and margin; comfortable building quotes and pricing jobs
- Experience with an ERP system (NetSuite a plus)
- Clear, professional communication by phone and email
- Organized enough to manage many open quotes and orders at once without dropping any
- Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
- Export or Caribbean market experience a big plus
How We Work
- Honesty: Give clients real lead times and straight answers, even when it’s not what they want to hear.
- Chase the Result: A quote isn’t done when it’s sent; it’s done when we win the order and the client gets their material.
- Get It Right: Check every part number, quantity, and price before it goes out.
- Own It: Your quotes and orders are yours from first request to final delivery.
- Hustle: Fast quotes win jobs. When a client needs it today, you make it happen.
What We Offer
- $17 – $21/hour, plus up to $3000/month in incentives based on productivity and gross profit
- Full Health insurance, including Dental, Vision and Life insurance
- 13-14 days a year for paid holidays off 12 PTO days (personal)
- 401k matching program
- Training on our products, vendors, and systems
- A small, growing team where your work directly drives results
Salary : $17 - $21
