- Prepare and follow up on quotations, proposals, and sales opportunities.
- Conduct regular customer visits and presentations.
- Develop relationships with architects, contractors, developers, and other industry professionals who can generate recurring business.
- Maintain an active sales pipeline and provide regular updates on opportunities and expected closings.
- Follow up consistently on leads and quotations until the opportunity is won or closed.
- Work with management and operations teams to ensure smooth execution of customer orders and projects.
- Identify new markets, products, applications, and strategic opportunities for business growth.
- Help expand the company's presence throughout the Houston and Texas commercial lighting market.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in B2B sales or business development preferred.
- Experience in LED lighting, electrical products, electrical distribution, construction, energy efficiency, signage, building products, or related industries is highly desirable.

- Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- Self-motivated and comfortable developing business independently.
- Ability to prospect aggressively and convert new opportunities into long-term accounts.
- Basic understanding of commercial lighting products and applications preferred; additional product training will be provided.
- Comfortable using CRM, email, spreadsheets, and standard business software.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel locally for customer meetings.
What We Are Looking For

The successful candidate should be:
- Hungry for sales and growth
- Proactive and persistent with follow-up
- Comfortable approaching new customers
- Able to build long-term business relationships
- Organized and accountable for their sales pipeline
- Interested in growing into a larger sales/business-development leadership role as the company expands
Compensation

Growth Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join an established commercial LED lighting business with the ability to develop a significant book of business and grow with the company.
For the right individual, this position can develop into a Senior Business Development / Sales Management role with greater responsibility as the business expands.
