You'll develop contractor relationships, uncover upcoming projects, pursue engineered opportunities, and manage the sales process from initial conversation through proposal and award.
This is a field-based role for someone who understands the technical side of fire alarm sales but knows that strong relationships are what ultimately win business.

- Find and pursue commercial fire alarm projects in the bid/spec market
- Review drawings, specifications, and project requirements
- Perform takeoffs and develop proposals for fire alarm opportunities

Experience selling or supporting any of the following is valuable:
- Access control
- CCTV and video surveillance
- Intrusion detection
- Mass notification and sound systems
- Integrated security and other low-voltage systems
The Right Fit
You're comfortable developing a territory rather than waiting for leads to land in your inbox. You can walk into an electrical contractor's office, talk intelligently about an upcoming project, review the plans, and build credibility without turning every conversation into a sales pitch.
You're organized, technically capable, persistent, and comfortable managing multiple opportunities at different stages of the sales cycle.
If you know the Eastern Michigan fire alarm market and can turn contractor relationships into projects, we should talk.
