Outside Sales – Production Powder Coating (OEM / Manufacturing)
Territory: Virginia, North Carolina & Mid-Atlantic
Sell real manufacturing programs — not one-off jobs.
We’re an established industrial powder coating operation with a high-capacity, automated production line. This role is for an outside sales professional who knows manufacturing and wants to sell repeat-run, production-volume coating programs to OEMs and fabricators.
This is industrial production sales, not retail or transactional quoting.
What You’ll Sell
- Production powder coating programs for:
- OEM manufacturers
- Metal fabricators
- Equipment builders
- Marine, defense, and industrial manufacturers
- Long-term, repeat-run programs with scheduled volumes
What You’ll Do
- Prospect and visit manufacturers with ongoing coating needs
- Turn prototypes and pilot jobs into full production programs
- Evaluate parts, specs, and volumes for production fit
- Work with operations to price and launch programs correctly
- Grow accounts by expanding parts, SKUs, and coated assemblies
What Success Looks Like
- A book of high-volume, repeat-run production accounts
- Consistent utilization of automated coating capacity
- Growing recurring revenue from long-term customers
Compensation
- Commission on all collected revenue
- Tiered accelerators and new-account incentives
- Vehicle allowance and expense reimbursement
Who You Are
- 3+ years in B2B industrial or manufacturing sales
- Comfortable selling to engineers, production, and sourcing
- Understand parts, drawings, specs, and production volumes
- Existing manufacturing relationships strongly preferred
Why This Role
- Established, stable operation with serious production equipment
- Selling real capacity and long-term programs
- Opportunity to build lasting manufacturing partnerships
If you want to sell real manufacturing work instead of small job-shop quotes, this role is built for you.
