Territory Sales Manager

Alright, let's talk about this Territory Sales and Service role with Ecolab in Seattle, WA. It's a field job where you're the main point of contact for your customers. You'll handle their equipment, solve problems, and find new ways to help their business.

What you'll do

You'll manage your own territory. That means visiting restaurants, hotels, schools, nursing homes, and other commercial customers. Your day involves a mix of service work and sales conversations.

• Use a company tablet and phone to manage customer visits and recommend specific programs.
• Explain the full value of our solutions to meet customer needs and grow sales with their existing accounts.
• Your problem solving skills get used on laundry machines, dish machines, and chemical dispensing systems. You'll do preventative maintenance and fix things when they break.
• Sometimes you provide emergency service, which could mean a phone call or showing up in person.
• Help install new equipment and solutions for customers.
• A big part of the job is showing customers how to use everything safely so their operations run smoothly.
• You're also managing your own equipment, parts inventory, and controlling costs.

• After training, you're managing your own established customer territory. If a specific territory isn't open right away, you might start in a supporting role until one becomes available.
• The schedule generally requires working one weekend out of every eight, based on business needs.
