Salt Lake City
Regional Sales Representative (B2B | Electrical Testing Solutions) Location (Remote / Home Office): Salt Lake City, Utah, United States (Central or Midwest territory preferred) Travel: Regular regional travel (day trips + overnights as needed) Employment Type: Full-Time/Permanent Reports To: Head of Sales & Marketing About the Opportunity: We’re partnered with a long-established, highly respected manufacturer in a specialized electrical testing niche supporting customers who build, process, and test electrical cables and wire harnesses. This organization is known for a customer-first, long-term approach—products are used for decades, and many customer relationships span years. This is not a “hard sell” environment. Customers rely on technical guidance, responsiveness, and trustworthy support. The team is looking for a sales professional (or technically skilled industry professional who loves working with people) who can build relationships, solve problems, and grow a territory through consultative selling. What You’ll Do: As a Regional Sales Representative, you will own an assigned territory and drive growth by combining consultative selling with exceptional customer care. Core responsibilities include: • Build and execute a strategic territory plan to achieve sales goals, • Identify, qualify, and pursue new opportunities within manufacturing, MRO, government, and OEM customer segments, • Maintain and expand relationships with existing customers to support repeat business and long-term partnerships, • Assess customer needs and recommend appropriate electrical testing products and solutions, • Deliver professional product presentations, demonstrations, and proposals, • Negotiate pricing and commercial terms within established guidelines, • Manage the full sales cycle: lead generation, pipeline management, forecasting, and order coordination, • Partner with internal teams (marketing, engineering, customer support) to ensure customer satisfaction before/during/after sale, • Keep accurate CRM records of activity, customer interactions, and forecasts, • Monitor market activity, customer trends, and competitor insights to inform sales strategy, • Represent the company at trade shows, customer meetings, and industry events Travel & Work Style: • Regular travel within the assigned territory (some overnight stays), • Attendance at trade shows, sales meetings, and trainings may require additional travel, • This is a remote / home office + field travel role (not fully “on the road” every day). You’ll balance customer visits with supporting a large account base efficiently. What Success Looks Like: • You build trust quickly and become a go-to advisor for customers, • You create consistent pipeline activity and manage deals through to close, • You’re organized, responsive, and follow through—customers feel supported, • You collaborate well with internal teams and represent the company professionally, • You can learn and communicate technical product value clearly (or you already know the industry) Required Qualifications: • 5+ years of progressive B2B sales experience with ownership of results (territory, quota, or comparable accountability), • Ability to operate autonomously, prioritize effectively, and manage a pipeline end-to-end, • Strong communication skills: written, verbal, presentation (executive + technical audiences), • CRM proficiency and disciplined documentation of activity and forecasting, • Comfort learning technical concepts and translating them into customer value, • Valid ability to travel regionally (car and/or commercial travel as needed) Education: Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or related field or equivalent experience Strongly Preferred Backgrounds (High-Value Targets): Because this is a niche industry, the client strongly values candidates with cable/harness and electrical manufacturing context. Candidates from the following backgrounds often ramp faster: • Electrical Engineer, Test Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, • Production Supervisor (manufacturing environment), • QA / Manufacturing Quality (inspection, test, process), • Sales professionals already selling into cable/harness manufacturing, wire processing, or related electrical production environments Important Cultural Fit: This team prioritizes: • Customer-first mindset (service > pressure tactics), • Integrity and professionalism, • Problem-solving and follow-through, • Collaborative “team coverage” culture (team supports accounts when someone is away) If your style is “hard close / transactional,” this may not be the right fit. If you’re relationship-driven, solution-oriented, and technically curious, you’ll likely thrive.
