Most customer visits should allow the salesperson to be home in the evening rather than requiring constant overnight travel. ## What We Expect We need someone who is comfortable being in front of customers and developing business. Key responsibilities include: * Prospecting and opening new accounts * Regular customer and plant visits * Developing existing accounts * Identifying pressure, level and control applications * Understanding the customer's application and technical requirements * Following opportunities from first discussion through quotation and order * Building repeat business * Developing OEM and equipment-builder opportunities * Developing MRO and replacement business * Identifying standardization opportunities * Growing unit volume across the territory * Working closely with our inside-sales and technical teams The salesperson should be able to work independently in the field and should not need an engineer at every customer meeting. ## Background We Value Relevant experience may include: * Industrial B2B sales * Technical outside sales * Valves * Pipe and fittings * Pressure controls * Pneumatic controls * Level controls * Instrumentation * Oil & gas production equipment * Industrial hardware * Process equipment * Mechanical products used in plants and production facilities Direct experience with K-Dyne products is **not required**.

These are technically more sophisticated process instruments, typically valued above **$10,000 per unit**. Viscosity sales are an attractive additional opportunity, but the immediate priority of this position is growing the K-Dyne business and increasing production volume in Tomball. ## Compensation * Approximately **$85,000 base salary** * **Uncapped commission** based on gross-profit performance * Mileage reimbursement * Health insurance contribution * Dental and vision benefits * Paid holidays * Paid sick leave with accrual * Vacation increasing with tenure * SIMPLE IRA retirement plan The previous salesperson in the territory earned approximately **$150,000 in total compensation last year, plus mileage**, based on actual sales performance.
