Sales Representative

Job Overview

This is a sales role, plain and simple. You'll connect with people in the Buffalo, NY area, understand what they need, and show them how a product or service fits into that picture. It's about listening more than talking, and building something real instead of just making a pitch. The work environment depends on the specific employer posting this, but you can expect a mix of independent work and team collaboration.

Duties & Responsibilities

Your day to day will center on managing relationships and driving results. Here’s a breakdown of what that typically involves.

• Prospecting for new client opportunities through various channels.
• The core of the job: conducting sales presentations, either in person or virtually.
• You’ll manage your own pipeline, from initial contact to closing the deal.
• Maintaining accurate records in a CRM system is non negotiable. It keeps everything straight.
• Following up with leads and existing clients to nurture long term business.
• A bit of market research to stay sharp on what’s happening locally in Buffalo, NY and in your industry.

Requirements

Let's talk about what you bring to the table. A formal degree isn't always mandatory here, but certain skills are.

• Previous experience in a sales position is a significant plus. We're talking at least a year or two.
• A natural curiosity about people and an instinct for solving problems.
• The resilience to handle rejection without letting it derail your week. It happens to everyone.
• You need to be organized enough to keep multiple plates spinning without dropping them.
• A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for roles that require travel around Buffalo, NY.
• Comfort using basic sales software and tools; most employers will train you on their specific systems.

What It's Like In This Role

I won't sugarcoat it; some days are tough. But the good days, where you help someone find the right solution, really make it worthwhile. You'll likely use a common CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot. Your team might be small and local or spread out across different regions. The workload ebbs and flows; some weeks are packed with meetings, others are heavy on research and outreach. You have to be okay with that rhythm.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The best part about sales is that your effort usually has a direct link to your success. There's clear growth potential if you perform. Different employers offer different products, so you can find a niche that actually interests you. And you'll learn constantly; about human psychology, negotiation, and an entire industry's ins and outs.

Schedule & Work Type

This is primarily a full time position. Some postings might be hybrid, mixing remote work from anywhere in the Buffalo, NY region with time in an office. Others could be fully onsite or involve significant local travel. Specific details will come from the employer during the hiring process.
