What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outside Sales Representative – Heavy Equipment position at Insight Recruitment?
Outside Sales Representative – Heavy Equipment
Lincoln / Omaha, Nebraska
If you've built a successful career calling on contractors, equipment dealers, municipalities or other heavy equipment customers and you're looking for the opportunity to truly own a territory, I'd like to tell you about one that doesn't come along very often.
I'm recruiting on behalf of a well-established, family-owned company with an outstanding reputation that's continuing to invest in its growth throughout Nebraska.
This isn't "just another outside sales job."
It's an opportunity to become the face of the business in Nebraska, inherit an established customer base, develop new relationships, and play a meaningful role in building the company's long-term presence in the market.
If you're someone who enjoys being out with customers, solving problems, building trust, and creating long-term partnerships, I think you'll find this opportunity refreshing.
Unlike many sales positions where you're expected to simply maintain an existing territory, this role gives you the opportunity to make your mark. Leadership isn't looking for someone who simply wants another sales job—they're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of a territory and help grow it over the long term.
Approximately 60% of your time will be spent out in the field meeting with customers, visiting job sites, identifying opportunities, and strengthening relationships. The balance of your time will include preparing quotes, following up on opportunities, coordinating orders, maintaining customer information, and helping ensure the Nebraska operation continues to run smoothly. It's a hands-on role, and that's exactly what makes it rewarding.
You'll work with contractors, municipalities, aggregate producers, equipment dealers, commercial agriculture, and other industrial customers who rely on knowledgeable, responsive people to help keep their equipment operating efficiently. Success isn't about being the lowest price—it's about becoming the person your customers trust to help solve problems and keep their businesses moving.
We're especially interested in speaking with professionals who have experience in:
- Heavy equipment
- Construction
- Equipment dealerships
- Industrial distribution
- Wear parts
- Steel products
- Ground engaging tools (GET)
- Mining
- Aggregates
- Municipal equipment
- Other related technical or industrial products
If your background isn't an exact match but you've built a successful career selling technical products, managing a territory, and developing long-term customer relationships, I'd still encourage you to reach out.
The person who will thrive in this role is someone who:
- Enjoys spending time with customers more than sitting behind a desk.
- Takes pride in building long-term relationships.
- Is comfortable prospecting and developing new business while continuing to grow existing accounts.
- Naturally stays organized and follows through on commitments.
- Is mechanically curious and enjoys learning technical products.
- Wants the freedom to manage their territory with the support of an established organization behind them.
- Sees this as an opportunity to build something—not simply maintain it.
Compensation & Benefits
The company is prepared to offer a base salary of approximately $65,000–$75,000, depending on your experience and industry background.
In addition, you'll participate in an uncapped commission plan designed to reward long-term territory growth and new business development. Leadership believes a motivated salesperson who embraces the opportunity to build the Nebraska market should have the potential to earn well into six figures as the territory continues to grow.
The company also offers:
- Comprehensive health insurance
- 401(k)
- Paid time off
- Company vehicle or vehicle allowance (based on company policy)
- Cell phone and business tools
- The stability of an established, family-owned company with an excellent reputation
Why consider making a move?
If you're already successful, you're probably not looking for just another sales position.
This opportunity is different.
You'll have the backing of an established organization, the freedom to manage your territory like it's your own business, and the opportunity to help build something that will continue growing for years to come. For the right person, that's far more rewarding than simply inheriting a territory and maintaining the status quo.
If this sounds like the kind of opportunity you've been waiting for, I'd welcome the chance to tell you more.
All conversations will be handled with complete confidentiality.
