About the job

Role overview

The work supports safety, security, and connectivity for organizations, and calls for curiosity, persistence, and the ability to earn trust over time.

What you will do

  • Identify and secure new enterprise accounts within the Des Moines market.
  • Lead consultative sales cycles by assessing client needs, quantifying return on investment, and guiding clients through complex decisions.
  • Create opportunities through outreach, networking, referrals, and participation in industry events.
  • Establish early relationships that foster trust and lay the groundwork for long-term partnerships.
  • Collaborate with technical, operations, and marketing teams to deliver solutions tailored to client needs.
  • Sell integrated solutions, including AV, security, fire alarm systems, structured cabling, access control, and communication technologies.
  • Share market insights and become a trusted resource within the sector.
  • Help shape multi-year roadmaps for clients who become partners.
  • Maintain a disciplined sales pipeline and uphold strong CRM practices.

Requirements

  • Comfort initiating conversations and building momentum from scratch.
  • Resilience in the face of rejection, with the ability to recalibrate while staying focused on goals.
  • Consultative approach: asks insightful questions, listens actively, and develops tailored solutions.
  • Experience in low voltage, fiber optics, AV, security, fire alarm systems, access control, or related infrastructure technologies.
  • Understanding of enterprise sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, and the complexity of closing large deals.
  • Active in building and maintaining a strong network within the local market.
  • Leads with integrity, humility, and a collaborative mindset.

Preferred qualifications

  • Sales experience in healthcare, SLED (state, local, and education), or large enterprise environments.
  • Background in managed services, telecommunications, or integrated systems.
  • History of success in multi-year, consultative sales cycles.
