Outside Sales Representative

What you'll be doing: You'll own new business development across the territory, identifying, approaching and converting manufacturing customers who need support keeping automation and CNC equipment running. You'll be building relationships with maintenance managers, engineers, automation teams and senior decision makers, and you'll need to be just as comfortable on the shop floor as you are in the boardroom. Expect regular customer site visits, a pipeline you manage with real discipline, and close partnership with inside sales and support teams to get deals over the line.

What you'll bring: Ideally five or more years of B2B sales experience in manufacturing, industrial automation, machine tools, tooling, MRO or maintenance components (three to five years will be considered for the right person), with a track record of winning new accounts rather than just managing existing ones. You should be able to talk through recent wins in detail, from how you found the opportunity to how you closed it. An existing network across Wisconsin or the Milwaukee to St. Paul corridor is a bonus, not a requirement. Robotics knowledge helps, but understanding manufacturing environments and technical products matters more.

What's in it for you: Base salary of $65,000 plus commission, with a realistic first year on target earning of around $150,000 and no cap on what you can earn beyond that as the territory grows. You'll report to a senior sales leader who backs the team with support rather than supervision, so if you want genuine autonomy to plan your own territory and bring your own ideas, this is built for that. Add to that a business investing in its sales culture, leadership and long term growth, and a territory with real room to expand into wider regional responsibility over time. If you're someone who thrives on building something rather than maintaining it, and you can point to a real history of opening doors and winning business in manufacturing markets, we'd like to hear from you.
