Coordinate with procurement and production teams to resolve any discrepancies and expedite fulfillment.

Customer Engagement: Respond to inbound inquiries, provide product information, and conduct virtual demonstrations of our steel poles. Build rapport to understand client needs and recommend appropriate solutions.
Sales Process Management: Prepare quotes, proposals, and contracts using company software. Follow up on leads to convert them into sales, aiming to meet or exceed monthly/quarterly targets.
Terms and Conditions Review (Light): Perform basic reviews of terms and conditions in contracts and POs to ensure compliance with company standards, escalating complex issues to legal or management as needed.
Project Management (Light): Assist in basic project coordination, such as tracking order status, communicating updates to customers, and liaising with internal teams to ensure on-time delivery without delays in grid infrastructure projects.
Relationship Building: Maintain ongoing communication with existing clients to upsell, cross-sell, and ensure satisfaction. Collaborate with outside sales reps for seamless handoffs on larger projects.
Market Research: Stay updated on industry trends, such as grid expansion in renewables or regulatory changes in Texas, to inform sales strategies.
Reporting and Analytics: Track sales activities in CRM (e.g., Salesforce or similar), analyze performance metrics, and report on progress to management.
Team Collaboration: Work with internal teams to resolve technical questions, customize product specs, and ensure timely delivery.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
Experience: 2+ years in inside sales, preferably in manufacturing, utilities, or industrial products. Hands-on experience with order entry systems (e.g., ERP software) and PO processing is highly desirable. Familiarity with energy infrastructure (e.g., transmission or distribution equipment) is a plus.
Skills:
Strong attention to detail for order processing and PO reviews.
Proficiency in CRM software, ERP systems (e.g., SAP or similar), Microsoft Office Suite, and sales tools.
