What are the responsibilities and job description for the Optical Lab Sales Representative – Mountain West Territory position at Premier Vision Lab?
Premier Vision Laboratory has been making prescription lenses for independent eye doctors across Utah for nearly two decades. We're a full-service wholesale lab — VSP-authorized, same-day courier on the Wasatch Front, and priced 20–40% below the national labs most practices are currently using.
We're growing. And for the first time in our history, we're hiring a dedicated sales rep.
What You're Walking Into
No rep has ever held this role at PVL. That means no inherited territory. No hand-me-down playbook. What you do get: a lab with a strong reputation, a loyal doctor base, and owners who answer the phone.
If building something sounds better than maintaining something, keep reading.
What You'll Do
- Prospect and open new optometry practice accounts across Utah and the Mountain West
- Manage and grow relationships with existing doctor accounts
- Represent PVL at industry events and UOA meetings
- Work directly with lab staff and customer support to make sure accounts have a great experience
- Help build the sales process, tools, and territory strategy as you go
The Ideal Candidate
- Optician or optical sales background — you'll know the products and the people from day one
- Based in Utah, with reliable transportation
- Self-directed and consistent with follow-through
- Energized by building something, not just maintaining it

- Based in Utah with reliable transportation for in-territory visits

Compensation

- Commission structure on new and retained account revenue
- Mileage reimbursement for in-territory travel
