HVAC Account Executive
Balam Talent, Lafayette, LA, United States
HVAC Commercial Account Executive (Hunter Role)
Territory: Baton Rouge to Texas State Line (Lafayette-based)
I’m working with a confidential mechanical services client that is a well-established HVAC service and retrofit provider supporting commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities across the region. They are continuing to invest in growth and are adding a true hunter-style Commercial Account Executive to expand service revenue within a defined territory.
This is a field-based, individual contributor role for someone who enjoys building relationships from the ground up, prospecting new accounts, and closing service and retrofit work — not new construction.
What You’ll Be Doing:
100% Hunter role focused on new business development
Sell HVAC service, maintenance, and retrofit solutions (some refrigeration)
Typical deal sizes range from $5K to $1M+ , with an average around $75K
Call on facility managers, plant managers, property owners, and select property management groups
Prospect through cold calling, site visits, networking, and referrals
Manage the full sales cycle from initial outreach through close
Learn to estimate HVAC service and retrofit work (estimating experience is a strong plus)
Partner with internal operations and service teams to ensure smooth execution and client satisfaction
Maintain accurate pipeline activity and forecasting
Target Customers:
Commercial office buildings
Must Haves:
Proven success in outside B2B sales within HVAC/R or a related commercial services industry
Strong new business development skills with a hunter mentality
Comfortable working independently across a large geographic territory
Ability (or willingness) to learn estimating fundamentals
Strong communication, organization, and closing skills
Valid driver’s license and ability to travel within territory
What’s in It for You:
Uncapped commission plan tied to gross margin performance
First-year commissions expected around ~ $25K+ , with significant upside
Top performers earning $150K+ total compensation
Mileage reimbursement and/or truck + full benefits package
Stable company with long-term growth opportunity and strong operational support
If you’re a true hunter looking for a service-focused sales role with real upside and autonomy, this is a strong opportunity with a client that values performance and long-term relationships.
