Outside Sales Representative - South Florida

Big Ass Fans • Ft. Lauderdale, FL

6d • Remote

About The Position

Big Ass who? We didn’t set out to start a fan company. We set out to solve a problem—workplace discomfort. (Sorry, HR, not your kind.) Facilities become furnaces during the summer, but businesses still expect peak performance and productivity. Without providing the basic human right of comfort, that’s just asinine. Seeing how overhead fans cooled California dairy cows begged a massive question for our founder. “Can a fan be made to revolutionize comfort for people?” he uttered. That’s when the HVLS Fan Company was born—with the first-ever patented high-volume, low-speed fan. But that name? BOR-ing. And customers knew it. We kept getting calls asking, “Are you the guys who make those big ass fans?” Hell yeah we are. And Big Ass Fans was born, complete with our own cheeky donkey mascot, Fanny. Today, we don’t just move air, we transform experiences. Big Ass Fans deliver comfort where it counts. We build every product like lives depend on it. Because, turns out, they do. Our success is a result of the Big Ass Fans team’s innovation. Are you seeking an opportunity to work with extraordinary people with an entrepreneurial spirit? Do you have something that sets you apart from the rest? With a bias for action, we want you to #livelifebigass and bring the next great BAF product to market. From our customers to our employees, we are passionate about what we can accomplish together. The successful candidate will bring passion, energy, and a “get it done” mentality to BAF and the industrial business and contribute in a meaningful way to realize the company’s full potential in the market. The Outside Sales Representative (OSR) plays a crucial role in making the world safer, healthier and more productive by ensuring our customers receive the best possible solutions tailored to their needs. Their in-person presence and dedication to customer satisfaction help build trust and long-lasting partnerships, driving the company’s success and growth. Picture this; you arrive at a customer’s facility, sporting BAF’s top swag, and get to provide a solution that provides comfort to their employees, increases their productivity, and their overall health - You are changing the quality of customers' lives! With a passion for making the world safer, healthier, and more productive, this role often requires extensive travel, averaging three days and two nights per week in hotels during busy periods. If you bring an energetic, positive attitude with a technical mindset who likes solving problems and developing lasting relationships, we want to hear from you!
