Outbound Sales Representative
Fire Market
We are looking for a sales representative to promote our products and services to the Fire Departments in western Canada. This will primarily involve selling emergency warning equipment packages for light-duty vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs.
Position Details
Description of the work:
The position primarily involves contacting fire departments in BC / AB / SK / MB and working with them to provide upfitting packages for their new light-duty vehicles. As well, maintain a relationship with the clients so they know who to call when they need a computer mount in a truck, or a part for their siren, etc. With over 450 fire departments in BC, and the ability to also sell to departments anywhere in Canada, there is no realistic ceiling to the opportunities.
Sigma focuses on building long-term relationships with our clients. Sales Reps are expected to both prospect for new customers and maintain ongoing relationships with existing customers. We have built our company primarily through a high level of service and product knowledge. This means that customers can call us and know they’re going to get the right piece of equipment for their application. This mutually-beneficial relationship fosters ongoing sales and a high level of trust between our customers and our staff. Our motto of “Your Trusted Advisors” is more than just a phrase – it’s how we operate.
This position can be located anywhere in British Columbia. You can work from home as long as you have a good internet connection and a professional environment to work from (not at the kitchen table with your dog barking in the background). While extensive travel is generally not required, we do use video and telephone frequently. Familiarity with Fire Department vehicles and operations is a significant asset.
Sigma sells technical, vehicle-based products. While we don’t expect you to know everything about what we sell, it’d help if you have a brain that is oriented towards technical, mechanical items. Basic knowledge of 12 volt wiring would be an asset.
Compensation for this position will be heavily commission-based, so as to reward your performance. Most of our product lines have practically limitless potential sales, so the opportunity to earn $75k+ per year is very realistic.
Successful applicants will need to be personable, fantastic communicators (you can listen as well as talk), willing to pick up the phone and call new customers, and willing to learn our product line. You must be able to keep yourself well organized in a rapid-fire environment, and detail-oriented in order to ensure our customers get accurate quotes and orders. You’ll also need to speak English clearly, be familiar with Microsoft365, and be technically-oriented.
