You should be:

  • Comfortable asking for the sale
  • Comfortable making cold calls
  • Comfortable walking into a business and introducing yourself
  • Good at building relationships
  • Persistent with follow-up
  • Able to work independently

  • Industrial sales
  • Construction equipment
  • Agricultural equipment

  • Automotive or commercial service sales

You will spend a significant amount of time in the field developing business and meeting customers. You are expected to plan your territory, manage your time, prospect for new business, follow up on opportunities and produce measurable results. We are looking for someone who sees an opportunity and goes after it.

Coastal Diesel is a locally owned, family-oriented diesel repair business serving Eastern North Carolina. We work with businesses that depend on their equipment to keep their operations moving. Our customers aren't looking for someone who simply sells them something — they need a partner who understands their equipment, their downtime and their business.

You bring the drive. We'll give you the opportunity.
