• Prepare and submit accurate, competitive quotes outlining pricing for all required products, supplies, and materials for customer construction bids and projects.
• Follow up on quotes and sales opportunities, address customer questions and objections, and work to convert opportunities into profitable business.
• Develop a strong understanding of waterworks products and applications to provide knowledgeable, consultative solutions to customers.
• Partner with Inside Sales Representatives and branch leadership to coordinate customer needs, quotes, orders, and opportunities from initial inquiry through project completion.
• Collaborate with purchasing, warehouse, and operations teams to help ensure products are available, orders are fulfilled accurately, and customer commitments are met.
• Maintain regular communication with customers, deliver on agreed-upon promises, and identify opportunities to create future growth.
• Stay informed about industry trends, competitive activity, customer needs, and new products to identify opportunities and strengthen ICONIX's position in the market.
• Maintain accurate customer, opportunity, and sales activity information in company systems.
• Contribute to a team-oriented environment where collaboration, initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement drive success.
