About the role

Regional Account Executive, West | Manufacturing Sales | Remote, Las Vegas or California Precision Sales Recruiting is a veteran-owned recruiting firm that places sales professionals exclusively with manufacturing, capital equipment, industrial distribution, and manufacturing technology companies. We are partnering with an established manufacturer of metal frame panel systems, extrusions, counters, and custom structural components used in trade show exhibits, brand activations, retail environments, and interiors. The company sells through exhibit houses, trade show companies, and retail environment builders, and it wins on engineering, customization, and problem solving, not price. This Regional Account Executive owns the Western United States and is one of the company's top hiring priorities.

The Opportunity: The West has more open ground than any other region in the company. You will own a multi-state territory covering every state west of Texas and Oklahoma, including Hawaii, with Las Vegas, the center of the trade show industry, right in the middle of it. The role is roughly 75 percent new business and 25 percent growing an existing book. You close the order, keep the account, and get paid on it for as long as you hold it. Deals move fast for manufacturing. The short end is about two weeks and the long end is about two months, so you will run several opportunities in parallel and see commission early.

What You Will Do:

Prospect and win new business with exhibit houses, trade show companies, and retail environment builders across the WestGet in at the front end of the customer's concept, contributing ideas on what can be built and how, then bring in project managers and designers to execute
Explain clearly, in the customer's own language, why this product outperforms the alternatives
Grow and retain accounts for the long term, not just book the first order
Build your own territory plan, activity cadence, and pipeline tracking in HubSpotTravel 20 to 25 percent: roughly one field day per week, plus a monthly trip across Southern California, Northern California, Phoenix, Denver, or Las Vegas depending on your home base
What You Bring
Business-to-business sales experience with a record of self-generated new business, not only inherited accounts or inbound leads
The ability to walk through a deal you won from first contact to award: the customer's problem, your solution, and why they chose you over a competitor
A consultative, differentiation-led selling style; you defend value rather than discount
Practical technical aptitude, including reading construction drawings and understanding how things go together
A creative instinct at the front of the sale
The drive to operate independently in a fully remote seat without being fed leads
Residence in the Western United States, ideally Las Vegas; California is also considered
Strongly Preferred
Experience in trade show and exhibit, large-format or silicon edge graphics, AV and LED display, install and dismantle, metal fabrication, point of purchase display, or store fixtures
Experience selling a configurable or custom manufactured product
Relationships with exhibit houses, general service contractors, or retail environment builders
Multi-state territory ownership

Industry experience is valuable but not required. Core selling skill, coachability, and the ability to explain how you win carry the most weight. This company's top-performing account executive came from kitchen and bath design with no background in the industry.

Compensation and Benefits:

Total compensation target of $150,000 to $170,000 in Year 1Your choice of two comp plans: a higher base with a lower commission rate, or a lower base with a higher commission rate, with the option to switch at six months or one year
Higher new-business commission rate in the West during Year 1Healthcare effective day one 401(k)
Mileage and cell phone reimbursement
LinkedIn and a full sales tool stack provided
Weekends are your own; the company does not staff or walk trade shows

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
