Industrial Sales Rep / Territory Manager (Electric Motor & Component Repair)

Base Hub: Shelby, NC / Gastonia, NC Area

Territory: Southern I-85 Corridor / SC Border Region (Roughly a 100-mile radius)

Salary: $55,000 - $90,000 Base (OTE $120k - $150k+)

Level: All levels of experience will be considered

Position Type: Permanent / Full-Time

The Opportunity

We have partnered with an established industrial service and electro-mechanical repair provider with a strong regional footprint. The team operates with the agility and fast-paced culture of a local specialist, backed by solid corporate stability and technical resources.

This role is purpose-built for a self-motivated, high-stamina industrial hunter who thrives on being out in the field. We are looking for a professional who wants to drive new business across core regional manufacturing markets like Food & Beverage, Automotive, Textiles, Tire & Rubber, and Pulp & Paper. To help our team build early momentum, the incoming rep will inherit a base of active accounts, backed by full hands-on technical training and a local repair facility.

Sales Benefits & Professional Perks

Inherited Accounts: Immediate access to an established account base to stream revenue while we map and hunt the wider territory.

Full Mobile Office: Fully equipped company vehicle, gas card, and digital tools provided and completely expensed.

High-Turnaround Portfolio: Sell high-demand, 90% service-based component repairs (electric motors, drives, and boards) featuring 24-48 hour rush options and standard 7-10 day turnaround times.

Technical Backing: Direct alignment with a dedicated local service shop in Gastonia/Shelby, NC to sync with customer service and technical teams.

Candidate Requirements

The Mindset: Self-motivated, organized self-starters driven by autonomy, willing to start early, and motivated by field-based business development rather than fixed hours.

Industrial Sales Experience: Proven B2B track record. Experience in electric motor sales is highly preferred, but we will strongly consider top industrial hunters from Rotating Equipment, Power Transmission/Bearings, Precision Electrical, or Fluid Power/Hydraulics (cylinder focus).

Territory Logistics: Must maintain a clean driving record and be comfortable splitting time between aggressive field prospecting and a couple of days a week at the Hickory shop to sync with production.

Solution-Oriented: Ability to navigate industrial plants, build relationships with maintenance managers, and identify high-turnaround repair solutions that keep plants running.

Key Responsibilities

New Business Acquisition: Actively hunt for new industrial clients within a 100-mile radius of the regional hub through aggressive territory management.

Shop & Service Collaboration: Spend dedicated time weekly at the Hickory shop to align field efforts with customer service, ensuring seamless delivery on repair commitments.

Account Development: Maximize the potential of inherited accounts while consistently mapping and breaking into new manufacturing and processing facilities.

CRM & Pipeline Management: Maintain accurate data, log field activity, and manage the sales process from initial component pick-up through final delivery and invoicing.
