Outside Sales Representative

Carolina Propane • Walterboro, SC

8d • $65,000 • Onsite

About The Position

This is a field-based, territory-driven role where you’ll spend most of your week meeting prospects, visiting job sites, and strengthening referral relationships. You’ll work closely with a Regional Sales Manager on deal strategy, but you own your pipeline end-to-end, from first outreach through signed agreement and handoff to operations. The role involves building a consistent pipeline of qualified commercial opportunities through outbound prospecting and in-person visits, establishing referral relationships, accurately managing deals and activity in Salesforce, and progressing multiple deals into late-stage conversations with support from the RSM.

Requirements

• 5+ years of outside or field sales experience closing new business
• Proven track record of managing a pipeline and closing complex deals with multiple decision-makers
• Experience prospecting and generating your own leads (not just working inbound)
• Ability to manage a geographic territory independently and prioritize effectively
• Proficiency with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) to track pipeline and forecast

Nice To Haves

• Experience selling into agriculture, industrial, construction, HVAC, or commercial real estate sectors
• Background in energy services (e.g., propane, heating oil, fuel distribution)
• Experience building referral partnerships that drive recurring business
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Agriculture, Marketing, or a related field

Responsibilities

• Identify and pursue net new commercial accounts across agriculture, industrial, and trade ally segments
• Build a steady pipeline through cold outreach, site visits, networking events, and referrals
• Conduct discovery conversations to understand operational needs and position solutions accordingly
• Build long-term relationships with key influencers such as builders, HVAC companies, and commercial real estate professionals
• Maintain regular touchpoints to generate ongoing referral business—not one-off deals
• Represent the company at local industry events and associations
• Prioritize time across a multi-site territory to focus on the highest-value opportunities
• Maintain accurate pipeline data, deal stages, and next steps in Salesforce
• Share regular updates with your Regional Sales Manager on deal progress and forecasts
• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes from first contact through close
• Collaborate with the Regional Sales Manager on pricing and deal strategy when needed
• Partner with operations to ensure smooth handoffs and successful installs

• Paid holidays and time off
• Company-paid $50,000 basic life/AD&D and long-term disability coverage
• Voluntary supplemental life, AD&D, short-term disability, and EAP
