• Maintain accurate sales activity, pipeline, and customer information in the CRM.
• Meet or exceed established sales and gross-margin objectives.
• Represent Guardian Systems professionally at customer meetings, networking events, trade shows, and industry functions.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is a relationship builder and a hunter.

You should be comfortable walking into a business, meeting with an owner or facility manager, asking the right questions, identifying opportunities, and developing a solution that provides real value.

You don't have to be the most technical person in the room. You do need to be able to understand the customer's problem, communicate the solution, and bring the right Guardian team members into the process.

If you already have relationships in the Middle Tennessee commercial construction, security, electrical, property management, or facilities markets, that's a significant advantage.

• Sell cutting-edge security and technology solutions.
• Build recurring revenue through long-term customer relationships.
