What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Manager position at Applied Industrial Technologies?
It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!
We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
Account representatives - don't pass up this opportunity for a great new job that combines client management with a consultative sales process for a global industrial distribution company. Partnering with 4,000 world-class manufacturers, we are an industry-leading value-added distributor of a wide variety of innovative and reliable industrial products. Since 1923, we have been committed to always having the right part in stock and always getting it to the customer when they need it.
We are currently seeking an experienced Account Manager to help us maintain that commitment as we continue to grow.
This is a relationship-based sales role. Build your book of business as you develop an established territory and customer base. All earnings are uncapped - your income is limited only by your ability to network and prospect for new customers and to grow your existing accounts. If you have a background in industrial distribution and are the kind of person who can talk with everyone from the CEO to the maintenance man on the shop floor and the purchasing agent, we want to talk with you!
Responsibilities
As an Account Manager, you will grow your territory (and your earnings!) by bringing in new business and developing repeat business relationships within your existing accounts. This will require that you call on engineers, maintenance, purchasing, and others to determine their needs through a consultative approach. This position reports directly to our General Manager.
- Achieve sales and profit goals by developing and retaining existing customers and by opening new business
- Conduct sales and service activities, develop strong customer relationships, identify product applications, and introduce new products and services
- Prepare quotations and proposals, follow up, negotiate terms, and close transactions
- Organize and conduct training sessions for customers
- Survey market and competitive conditions
- Complete reports regarding itineraries, expenses, sales calls, leads, and other related matters
- Monitor customer complaints, follow up on outstanding orders, and make emergency calls, night calls, and deliveries as required
Requirements
Our Account Managers are self-motivated and driven by a desire to exceed expectations. They have strong prioritization, planning, and time-management skills, and a sense of urgency. Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to establish rapport building solid relationships at all levels of customer organizations are keys to success.
If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
