About the Role
This well-established growing company: a machine tool solutions provider for the U.S. manufacturing industry is expanding into a new, high-potential territory and is seeking a solutions-based Machine Sales Representative who thrives on building business from the ground up. This is an ideal opportunity for a hunter–someone who enjoys opening doors, uncovering customer needs, and recommending the right machine solutions.

- Prospect, qualify, and close new business in Illinois and Wisconsin
- Sell machine tools and equipment by identifying customer applications and challenges
- Build long-term customer relationships through post-sale follow-up and solution support
- Conduct customer visits, training sessions, and joint vendor calls
- Collaborate with leadership on product and market development
- Report on sales activity, pipeline, and market intelligence
- Provide light service or troubleshooting support as needed
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of outside sales experience, ideally in machine tool or capital equipment sales
- Strong understanding of machine tools, manufacturing processes, and shop environments
- Proven success building new territories or opening new accounts
- Mechanically inclined with the ability to discuss applications and solutions confidently
- Hunter mindset with strong prospecting and relationship-building skills
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills
- Associate degree preferred; HS diploma or GED required
Why This Role
- A new underdeveloped territory with significant growth potential
- Established company with leadership support and autonomy
- Opportunity to make a visible impact and grow long-term accounts
- Competitive base salary plus commission
- This position provides the opportunity to collaborate with a talented team while enjoying a flexible and relaxed workplace culture.
