You'll spend most of your time in direct contact with clients in the electric and communications industries — face-to-face, by phone, and by email — generating leads, quoting training programs, and winning new business.

What you'll do:

🔹 Prospect and generate new business through cold calling, email outreach, referrals, and networking

🔹 Travel to meet clients face-to-face and present SLTC AIT's training programs

🔹 Own the full sales cycle — from first contact to quoting, negotiation, and close

🔹 Build long-term client relationships that drive repeat business and referrals

🔹 Represent SLTC AIT at industry tradeshows, conferences, and recruiting events

🔹 Track pipeline activity and report on wins, losses, and market trends

🔹 Coordinate with training operations for smooth client handoffs

What you bring:

✅ 3-5+ years of outside sales or business development experience (electrical, utility, or communications industry experience strongly preferred)

✅ A proven track record of hitting or exceeding sales quotas

✅ A "hunter" mentality — self-motivated, resilient, and driven to close

✅ Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills

✅ Comfort with frequent travel, including overnight

✅ Experience with CRM/pipeline management tools

✅ Vocational/technical certification or bachelor's degree preferred

If you're energized by the chase — from the first cold call to the signed contract — and want to grow a training business in a critical industry, we want to talk to you.
