Reporting To: Strategic Key Account Manager/VP of Sales
Compensation: $60,000 – $80,000 Base + 25–40% Variable Commission

Purpose of Role

The Regional Sales Manager is a high-impact "hunter" role accountable for driving ‘net-new’ revenue growth through aggressive prospecting, new account development, and competitive displacement. You will be focused on new business acquisition, specification capture, and early engagement on long-cycle industrial and architectural projects.

This position owns regional territory (existing and new business). By expanding market presence, influencing specifications, and coordinating cross-functionally, you will build a robust pipeline that fuels sustained growth. Note: This role focuses on the "front end" of the sales cycle and does not carry direct responsibility for order execution or project management.

Primary Responsibilities

  • New Business Acquisition: Identify and convert new accounts/opportunities, focusing on competitive takeaways and market share expansion.
  • Specification Capture: Engage with architects, owners, and developers during the design phase to secure "Basis of Design" or sole-source specifications.
  • Strategic Prospecting: Maintain a high-volume cadence of discovery calls, site visits, and meetings to build a pipeline valued at 4X your sales quota.
  • Market Expansion: Penetrate targeted vertical markets and establish fresh relationships with General Contractors, end-users, and architectural firms.
  • Technical Influence: Conduct educational engagement events, including Lunch-and-Learns and CEU sessions, to position our solutions as the industry standard.
  • Collaboration: Interface with key members at existing accounts (Estimators & PMs) to drive daily activities and assist internal teams with project progression.

    • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

    Your performance will be measured against the following metrics:

  • New Revenue Performance (45%): Net-new revenue attainment, number of new accounts acquired, and a target territory win rate of 20–30%.
  • Pipeline Creation (25%): Maintaining a pipeline 4X the size of your order goal and achieving high "speed-to-quote" metrics.
  • Market Expansion (20%): Number of new strategic relationships established and frequency of educational/engagement events.
  • Process Discipline (10%): 95% CRM data accuracy and ±10% forecast accuracy on late-stage deals.

    • Compensation & Performance

    This role is designed for high performers who thrive in a fast paced environment.

  • Incentive Structure: Commission is tied to new-business revenue, margin achievement, and strategic wins (specification approvals).
  • Accelerators: Performance above quota triggers increased payout percentages.
  • Cadence: Monthly KPI reviews and formal quarterly evaluations regarding quota attainment and pipeline health.

    • Candidate Requirements

  • The Hunter Mentality: Proven track record of aggressive prospecting and closing net-new business in the industrial or architectural sectors.
  • Specification Experience: Demonstrated ability to influence long-cycle projects at the design stage.
  • Territory Expertise: Deep knowledge of the regional architectural and construction landscape.
  • Technical Proficiency: Mastery of CRM tools (Salesforce/SAP) with a disciplined approach to forecasting and data integrity.
  • Relationship Management: Ability to navigate complex organizations, from C-suite developers to site-level Project Managers and Estimators.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
