Role Overview
Reporting to the Regional Sales Manager and branch General Manager, you will be responsible for growing and establishing a book of business within your territory. You will go to the branch office approximately once a week for meetings, but most days, you'll head right out into the field.

On a daily basis, you'll promote the sales and rental of TPR trench protection equipment, service, and solutions to the construction industry. You'll spend the majority of your time prospecting for new business and building relationships with contractors. Once you've begun to close deals, you will split your time between account maintenance and direct sales. As part of your sales strategy, you'll provide on-site demonstrations / presentations of TPR products. You will be responsible for delivering job solutions and recommendations, bids, pricing, and customer service, offering full project cradle to grave service. 

Role Details
More specifically, you will:
  • Cold call for new business, while supporting existing business.
  • Build a pipeline of potential opportunities.
  • Provide updates to existing customers on TPR product modifications, changes, and enhancements.
  • Act as liaison between the Company and existing customers for up to date condition of pricing, service, and latest product release launches.
  • Leverage marketing data to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of sales calls and promotions.
  • Prepare reports for sales and maintain expense accounts.
  • Assist and train new hires in TPR products and construction methods, soils and general sales concepts.
  • Assist outside engineers, inspectors, and other government agencies as it relates to TPR products and services.
  • Be in the field every day during the prime sales hours -- post-job setup and pre-closing.
You will also find some opportunities outside of traditional underground construction. For example, we've done projects with Disneyland, music events such as Coachella, sporting events, such as the Grand Prix -- anywhere our equipment can be leveraged. The vast majority of your business will be rental (90%) which all tends to repeat, but you'll also sell equipment.

Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

Outstanding training
To get up to speed you'll work with the Regional Sales Manager, General Manager and various salespeople so that you can learn the product line, go to sales calls, and see how we do things. We'll make sure you have the tools you need to succeed -- you just need the drive to get out in the field every day and leverage those tools for success.

Autonomy and support
Support doesn't stop after the training period. You'll have new product training and an experienced supervisor to help. In other words, you'll have support when you need it and "elbow room" when you don't.

Team-based success
Ours is a unique approach to driving business. Each sales team member is responsible for their territory, but we achieve success as a team. We support one another, strive to reach team goals, and help each other's clients to ensure success. Tired of dog-eat-dog, cut-throat sales? You are going to love our collaborative, upbeat atmosphere!

Drive your career
This is an opportunity to decide your own destiny. We work in a multi-billion dollar industry, have strong products, a respected name, and a goal of tremendous expansion. While you could be happy in this sales role for years, if you have the runway and desire, and you prove yourself, you could pursue a Branch or Regional Manager position.

Stability
Under the leadership of a seasoned senior management team, we have achieved a record of financial stability, consistent growth, and business success.

Service
It's not just about getting the rental or sales contract, it's about providing ongoing service. TPR has a reputation as the "go-to" company for contractors and is ranked number 1 in service!

Great work environment
If integrity and honesty are "old school," then within Trench Plate Rental Co., there's no school like the old school. We'll look to you to promote our culture of high-ethics, respect, congeniality, and high standards. We operate in a team environment and help each other as needed.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive base and incentive program, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical insurances, a company truck, gas card, a laptop, and cell phone, a profit sharing program and more.

You probably already know that the construction market in this area is tight-knit and well-connected. Relationship-building and integrity are essential here. Our top salespeople are tremendous relationship builders and take a consultative approach to their customers. They are reliable, honest, available, snd persistent, and have strong follow-up/follow-through skills. You will need strong drive, a sense of ownership and the ability to achieve goals independently. At the same time, we'll look to you to be a team player, willing to support the Branch Manager and help other sales team members. 

Another challenge for our new salespeople is gaining product knowledge and understanding the application of the products. Your construction background will be invaluable, but you'll also strong learning acumen and a commitment to getting up to speed quickly. Some products are rarely used, so when you have the opportunity -- in the beginning and ongoing -- to see a presentation, you'll need to take advantage of it.

You should expect to spend time at construction sites, rain or shine, not only to call on prospects but sometimes also to demonstrate equipment. This will include wearing boots and a hard hat, and you can't be afraid to get them dirty. In fact, you should bring a strong commitment to safety.
