Job Description
This is an entry-level/early-career technical inside sales role focused heavily on Buehler's consumable products. The person will work with existing customers, prospect new customers, qualify incoming leads, re-engage declining accounts, and support the Field Sales Engineer in growing the territory. The products can be complex and technical, so they do not necessarily need someone who is already an experienced salesperson. The bigger priority is finding someone with the technical/scientific foundation, customer-facing ability, and genuine curiosity to learn the products and develop into a strong salesperson. Longer term, the goal is for this individual to gain enough product and sales experience to potentially take ownership of a full territory.
