We are looking for proven salespeople who **know their market, understand motor and drive applications, and have relationships that can help generate meaningful business quickly.**

Depending on your location, you may **extend the reach of an existing ESR branch or establish ESR in a new market.** Successful territory development could lead to local inventory, additional personnel, a future ESR stocking location, and sales or branch leadership opportunities.

This is a home-based, field-sales position. You must live within the territory you propose to develop and travel regularly throughout the market.

-   Use ESR’s inventory, technical resources, and manufacturer relationships to solve problems and win business.
-   Own the customer relationship, follow opportunities through completion, and maintain an accurate CRM pipeline.
-   Help ESR evaluate the market for future personnel, inventory, or a stocking location.

## Requirements

-   **Successful outside sales experience in the industrial electric motor industry.**
-   **Strong working knowledge of industrial electric motors and their applications.**
-   Working knowledge of variable frequency drives and related products.
-   **Meaningful existing relationships with industrial customers in the market you propose to develop.**
-   Demonstrated ability to open accounts and generate profitable new business.
-   Strong sense of urgency, responsiveness, accountability, and follow-through.
-   Ability to independently manage a home-based sales territory.
-   Valid driver’s license and ability to travel regularly.
-   Residency within the market you propose to develop.

### Compensation

-   **Base salary: $75,000–$100,000**
-   **Expected first-year total compensation: $110,000–$150,000**
-   **Guaranteed minimum total compensation for the first 12 months, beginning at $100,000 and determined individually**
-   **Uncapped commission** based primarily on gross profit
-   Full reimbursement of reasonable business expenses
-   Company-provided phone and laptop
-   Eligibility for a company vehicle based on sustained sales performance

ESR sales representatives with mature, high-performing territories regularly earn **$150,000–$200,000 or more.**
