Regional Sales Manager

Aurora, IL, USA | Base + Commission | Full Time

Our mission statement begins with you:

Enthusiastic Employees...Flawless Performance...Delighted Customers!

Craft-Bilt Manufacturing Co. is a leading American manufacturer of Sunrooms and commercial and residential Awnings and Outdoor Shade Products. We have an immediate opening for a Regional Sales Manager managing several states.

As a Regional Sales Manager for Craft-Bilt, your primary mission will be to manage sales activity across multiple dealer accounts and boost revenue by training, supporting and accompanying dealer sales reps on sales calls. Your second objective will be to prospect for motivated new dealers and seek additional business opportunities.

Overnight travel in your region will generally be by car, out Monday and back on Thursday. As a road warrior, solid time management and organizational skills will be crucial to your success. You'll be able to leverage the credentials of an industry leader with an enviable product portfolio and more than 75 years of history. We'll count on your maturity, problem-solving skills and computer aptitude to ensure that you're compiling pertinent information into our CRM about your region's sales activities. Challenges in the role include being able to recruit new dealers and encouraging them to promote and advertise our products.

Your sense of urgency in securing new business will be rewarded by a competitive base salary and uncapped earning potential via an unlimited commission/bonus structure. We also offer vehicle allowance, company credit card for all travel related business expenses (meals, hotels, etc.), a comprehensive benefits package (healthcare, dental, vision, STD, LTD, life insurance), profit sharing, 401K, and a fun, fast-paced and collaborative work environment.

We'll provide you the tools, training, and resources necessary to take your career to a new level. Those with a proven ability to execute on goals, invest in long term growth and exceed determined quotas will be poised for success. We're growing in a smart way -- through referrals, positive word-of-mouth and the exceptional support of our channel partners. We ask that you bring a "closing" mentality to a marketplace full of opportunity for the disciplined sales pro.
