Regional Account Solutions Manager

Description

Position Overview

The Regional Account Sales Manager – Commercial is a hunter. New-logo and new-revenue acquisition is the primary mandate of this role. You will apply a command of consultative selling to build pipeline, execute competitive displacements, and convert prospects into recurring-revenue customers across an assigned territory. Your account and prospect base is comprised of food service and commercial businesses — restaurants, grocers, convenience stores, entertainment facilities, and hotels — that require grease trap and interceptor service and that represent whitespace for LES’s full suite of liquid waste services: FOG, oil water separator, used cooking oil, septic, and grit. Relationship maintenance is secondary; winning new business is the job.
