- Price work intelligently—protecting margin while staying competitive (coordinate with Purchasing/Management as needed)
- Create and maintain quotes and orders in Epicor Kinetic ERP with accuracy and urgency
- Monitor order status and proactively communicate with internal teams to prevent missed ship dates and customer issues
- Resolve customer issues quickly and professionally (changes, returns, credits, delivery concerns, etc.)
- Travel within the territory (~25%) to strengthen relationships, support projects, and secure repeat business
Performance Expectations
- Quote volume, follow-up consistency, and conversion to orders
- Account growth and territory revenue performance
- Responsiveness, professionalism, and customer satisfaction
- Margin discipline and pricing accuracy
- Internal coordination that keeps projects moving and customers informed
