The Opportunity
A rapidly growing industrial technology company is expanding its Midwest sales team.
They help manufacturers improve uptime, reduce unplanned downtime, and gain real-time visibility into equipment performance through advanced sensing and performance-monitoring solutions.
The company is investing in emerging sales talent with strong drive and commercial instincts. This is not a senior enterprise-level role โ itโs built for motivated sellers ready to own a territory and grow. This environment rewards self-starters, with support available but without a highly structured training or lead-generation engine.
If youโre competitive, resilient, and energized by new business development in industrial environments, this is a strong next step.

Proactively prospect and generate your own pipeline through outreach, networking, and field engagement
Run discovery with plant, engineering, operations, and reliability leaders
Translate operational pain points into clear business value
Lead presentations, proposals, and negotiations
Partner with internal technical specialists to shape solutions
Manage pipeline, forecasting, and CRM activity
Youโll have strong product and technical support, but are expected to independently drive activity and pipeline.

3โ7 years of B2B sales experience (SDR, BDR, Inside Sales, or early AE)
