Sales Development Specialist

Company Overview

Artisan Industries is a specialized engineering and manufacturing company that solves complex thermal separation and purification challenges for the global process industries. With nearly a century of engineering expertise, Artisan designs and builds advanced processing systems, including its thin-film technologies and the Rototherm platform, that help customers concentrate, evaporate, strip, and recover valuable materials in demanding industrial environments. A comprehensive in-house pilot plant lets customers validate process concepts and gather scale-up data before committing to full production equipment, one of the defining advantages of the Artisan model.

Our customers are technical and our people solve problems others cannot. We serve specialty and fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, edible oils, and related process industries from our headquarters in Stoughton, Massachusetts.

Artisan Industries is looking for an ambitious, outgoing Sales Development Specialist who loves the thrill of the chase. This is the tip of the spear: you'll open doors, start conversations, and uncover new opportunities across some of the most interesting companies in the process industries. You'll reach out to prospects, reconnect with past customers, and find the people who need what Artisan builds, then collaborate with our technical experts to facilitate a win.

Artisan sells engineered capital equipment in a consultative, B2B setting, so you don't need to be technical, just curious, persistent, and energized by making connections. If you're a natural hunter who wants to own the top of the funnel and grow with a company investing in its commercial team, we want to meet you.

• Open Doors:
  Reach out to prospects across phone, email, and Linked In and start real conversations with the people who need what Artisan builds.
• Hunt Smart:
  Research target accounts, find the right decision-makers, and land the first meeting.
• Reawaken Accounts:
  Reconnect with past and dormant customers to uncover what has changed and where new opportunities are hiding.
• Work Leads Fast:
  Jump on trade show and campaign leads while they are hot and keep the momentum going.
• Learn the Business:
  Get to know our technology well enough to ask sharp questions and spark genuine interest.
• Tee Up Wins:
  Qualify opportunities and work together with our technical experts to get wins.
• Keep Momentum:
  Track your outreach in Hub Spot, follow up consistently, and never let a promising lead go cold.
• Team Up:
  Partner with marketing on target lists and outbound campaigns so your outreach hits harder.

A steady stream of new conversations and fresh opportunities. You will know you are winning when your calendar is full of meetings you set, dormant accounts are coming back to life, and the team always has new opportunities to pursue, thanks to you.
