Know the Industry

In sales training, we'll teach you not only about grooved mechanical pipe joining methods, but also about the competitive methods of joining pipe, such as welding and flanging.

With this knowledge, you can feel confident that you'll be able to overcome any objections you may face in the field from customers who are used to the more traditional ways of joining pipe.

As a territory manager, you'll also need to understand construction cycles, find and follow major construction, expansion or retrofit projects, and keep current with market trends and competitor activity.

You'll be expected to integrate into local trade organizations and professional associations while striving to become part of the fabric of the industry within your territory.

Understand the Business

You'll work with your Regional Sales Manager to develop a business plan, including opportunity mapping, sales goals, product promotion plans, and strategies to maximize your sales potential.

You'll be responsible for executing all phases of project pursuit and project management to secure a purchase order ' from project inception through design, specifications, drawings, bidding phase, job site training and support, final commissioning and after-sale follow up.

You'll need to gain complete information for all quotation requisitions including application, specification, pricing and timing requirements, and lead the inside sales team, engineering and other support staff to ensure good teamwork to meet customer requirements.

BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS

As a territory manager, developing relationships and building trust will be key to your success in this role, so it's essential that you work to build lasting relationships with the mechanical contractors, engineers, and building / project owners in your territory.

Maintaining meaningful relationships requires spending time with your customers, and that's a big part of your job. Sometimes, time spent with clients extends beyond 'normal business hours' and you'll be expected to take customers out in the evenings or weekends for dinners, sporting events, and other social events.

In addition to maintaining relationships with your customers, you'll also need to partner with the Victaulic distributors in your territory and manage a balanced distribution network.

You'll need to exercise teamwork to coordinate activities with other Victaulic representatives and regional market specialists who could influence or have any dealings with the project or account to ensure the best customer experience.

EDUCATE AND INFLUENCE

During your workday as a sales specialist, you'll seek to learn about your customers' needs and educate them about the overall value utilizing Victaulic can bring to their project.

At Victaulic, we know our products are the best, and we want our customers to know it, too! Our sales reps work hard to educate our customers.

For example, you may find yourself on a job site early in the morning dressed in jeans, boots, and a hard hat, while meeting with some contractors performing a tool demo or conducting a training on proper installation techniques.

While, later that day, you may be doing a lunch and learn presentation for a group of engineers to educate them on our cutting-edge products.

Your ultimate goal is to educate customers on why they can feel confident about our products, show the overall value Victaulic products bring to their project, and influence the decision-makers, so you can maximize your sales potential.

Having demonstrated achievements in sales, and showing you have a history of developing and nurturing long standing relationships is also beneficial.

Possessing a competitive nature and showing both flexibility and resiliency will assist you in growing business in your territory year over year.
