Develop new client contact leads, qualify prospective projects, and partner with the internal Business Development team to advance pipeline opportunities.

Represent the organization at industry trade shows, conduct product presentations, and organize client-facing workshops to showcase offerings and boost brand awareness.

Apply in-depth knowledge of organizational systems, programs, and field processes to enhance daily operations and improve sales performance metrics.

Experience uncovering upsell opportunities for add-on solutions, including remote monitoring tools, software analytics platforms, and retrofits.

Proficiency using CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) to track leads, manage recurring contract renewals, and maintain accurate revenue forecasts.

Skill in navigating long sales cycles, managing pricing discussions, and securing long-term service agreements with building owners and facility managers.

Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively to diverse stakeholders, from C-suite executives to facility engineers.

Demonstrated ability to work alongside field technicians, project managers, and engineering teams to identify service leads and execute client handoffs.
