Outside Sales Representative
We’ve partnered with a family-owned, debt-free carbon flat roll steel company to find an outside sales rep for the Dallas area. They’ve never had a layoff, and they focus on one thing: hot rolled and pickled sheet, with more inventory on hand than the competition and delivery in a day or two, not a week or two.
This is a true run-your-own-territory seat. You’ll spend three days a week in front of customers and two working from your home office. Management acts as a resource, not a babysitter. They’ll hunt down steel, jump on customer calls and back you up, but they won’t micromanage. You’ll get a list of prospect names to call, and you’ll do best if you already have Texas relationships and a book you can bring with you.
Compensation is a strong base + uncapped commission based on every ton you sell, paid quarterly. You’ll also get a car allowance, phone, computer, health insurance and a 401(k) match.
Responsibilities
- Sell hot rolled and pickled steel sheet to fabricators, manufacturers and other industrial buyers across the Dallas market
- Bring your existing customers over and grow them, while working the prospect list to open new accounts
- Get in front of customers at least three days a week, and turn quotes around the same day
- Work with management on pricing, inventory and joint customer visits to close deals
- Log a quick one-line daily update in a simple, easy-to-use CRM
Desired Skills and Experience
- Outside sales experience in steel, metals or industrial products, ideally flat roll (hot rolled or pickled)
- Existing customer relationships in the Dallas or Texas market preferred
- Comfortable quoting, negotiating and closing tonnage and truckload orders
- Self-starter who wants autonomy and doesn't need a training program to get moving
- Experience with oil and gas, shipbuilding or general fabrication customers a plus
