Outside Sales Representative

Job Description

We are seeking a high-performing Outside Sales Representative to develop new business and grow market share throughout the Greater Detroit / Michigan territory
.

This opening reflects a strategic emphasis on business development and measurable field activity. The outside sales function has been clearly defined: consistent prospecting, disciplined territory coverage, and strong in-person customer engagement.

Non-selling responsibilities such as day-to-day service escalations and logistical minutia are handled by internal support teams — allowing the outside sales team to focus squarely on growth and revenue generation.

This is not an entry-level role. We are seeking an experienced metals sales professional capable of independently managing a large industrial territory and producing results.

• Flat-rolled carbon steel
• Aluminum products
• High-strength and advanced strength steels
• Pickled & oiled, coated, and specialty metals
• Value-added processing services including slitting, cut-to-length, cold rolling, annealing, and related precision processing

• Prospect, qualify, and secure new customer relationships across Michigan
• Drive territory revenue growth through new account acquisition and expansion
• Maintain strong, visible market presence through frequent in-person sales calls
• Present solutions aligned with customer manufacturing and supply chain needs
• Partner with inside sales, purchasing, and operations teams while maintaining selling focus
• Monitor competitive activity and customer trends
• Participate in industry associations and regional events
• Provide accurate pipeline reporting and forecasting
• Operate with high professionalism, autonomy, and accountability

Our client is a leading North American metals processing organization with over 50 years of experience delivering value-added flat-rolled steel and aluminum products and services. With an extensive geographic footprint and advanced processing capabilities, the company serves customers across diverse industries including automotive, appliance, construction, agriculture, HVAC, electrical, and general manufacturing.

The organization is committed to operational excellence, safety, sustainability, and long-term customer partnerships. Their reputation is built on reliability, processing precision, and the ability to support complex supply chains at scale.
