Find the Opportunities. Build the Relationships. Drive the Growth.

Hire Sync is looking for a motivated, tech-savvy Inside Sales Associate to join a well-established, innovative manufacturing company in Eastlake, OH! If you're someone who loves uncovering new opportunities, connecting with people, and turning research into results, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.

Our client is a respected leader in precision manufacturing, providing advanced machining, fabrication, finishing, and assembly solutions for customers across a variety of industries. With a reputation for engineering expertise, quality craftsmanship, and tackling complex manufacturing challenges, this is an opportunity to represent a company with capabilities you can be proud of.

We're looking for someone who brings curiosity, confidence, and persistence to the table. You don't need to be a manufacturing expert on day one, but you do need to be someone who enjoys learning, knows how to communicate professionally, and isn't afraid to pick up the phone and start a conversation.

This is a direct-hire opportunity offering a $60,000 base salary plus commission, giving you the chance to build a rewarding career while playing a key role in growing the business.

What You'll Do

• Research and identify potential customers, industries, and business opportunities that align with the company's manufacturing capabilities.
• Make outbound prospecting calls and send professional emails to introduce services and develop new business relationships.
• Connect with decision-makers in purchasing, engineering, operations, supply chain, and executive leadership.
• Qualify prospects, identify customer needs, and uncover opportunities for new projects and partnerships.
• Schedule customer meetings, conference calls, facility tours, and follow-up conversations.
• Research target markets, manufacturing processes, materials, and industry trends to identify potential opportunities.
• Follow up on quotes, customer inquiries, open opportunities, and existing accounts.
• Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Estimating, and Operations to support customer needs and develop qualified opportunities.
• Maintain accurate prospect information, sales activity, and follow-up records in the CRM.
• Use Microsoft Excel to organize prospect lists, analyze data, track sales activity, and prepare reports.
• Help build and maintain a strong sales pipeline through consistent outreach, organization, and follow-through.

What We're Looking For

• Strong communication skills with the confidence to connect with business professionals and decision-makers.
• Excellent computer skills and the ability to quickly learn new software, CRM systems, and research tools.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including formulas, sorting, filtering, tables, and basic reporting.
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to create professional emails and business correspondence.
• Comfortable making outbound sales calls, initiating conversations, and following up consistently.
• Strong research skills and the ability to turn information into actionable business opportunities.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple prospects, priorities, and deadlines.
• A self-motivated, persistent personality with the drive to meet goals and generate results.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn.
• Interest in manufacturing, engineering, technology, or technical products and services.
• A positive, professional attitude and the ability to work collaboratively with multiple departments.
• Previous experience in inside sales, business development, customer service, recruiting, account coordination, or a manufacturing environment is a plus, but not required. A background in business, engineering, marketing, supply chain, or a related field is also beneficial.

Why You'll Want This Opportunity

• $60,000 annual base salary plus commission.
• Direct-hire opportunity with an established, growing manufacturing company.
• Consistent Monday–Friday schedule.
• Opportunity to earn additional income based on sales performance.
• Work with an innovative organization known for advanced manufacturing capabilities.
• Build relationships with businesses across a variety of industries.
• Collaborate with experienced sales, engineering, and operations professionals.
