Took a position recently as an outside sales rep for a conveyor service company, pretty big player in my state from some of the logos we service.

Inheriting a territory and just want to earn the trust of our clients as I am new to conveyors, I come from a industry dealing more with hydraulics and absolutely understand the pain of down time but I’m used to facilities nowhere near as large as those with massive conveyor systems.

Any tips to be useful and helpful or things you hate about your current conveyor vendor would be extremely helpful

Thank you

Hello all,

Currently in the lighter segment of the industrial world, we work on hydraulic based equipment

Had a pretty good interview yesterday with a conveyor belt company that sells and services conveyor systems, seems mostly service which is fine because that’s what I do right now which is selling service and the occasional new unit.

It’s a complete different ball game though because these are going to be earth material sites, processing plants, recycling plants, and factories. The territory from the last guy a few months back was up to 2 million but they claim he wasn’t really chipping away at finding new business just kind of managing accounts and they thought they’d be able to keep up without him but began losing accounts, he was there for a few years.

I’ve really wanted to work for this company for some time and I have a final virtual interview tomorrow with the owner who works out of their HQ but the branch manager already co signed me and I got the vibe it’s more of a pulse check then a full blown interview.

Looking for tips on if I take this position on how I can find success early and be useful to the company.

Either way this type of outside sales in the true industrial world is my end goal so any tips would be useful whether I get this job or not because I will find value either way

Thanks guys and gals
