JOB SUMMARY:
The Inside Product Support Sales Rep will contact Ohio CAT customers primarily by telephone in an established geographic territory, to increase parts and service sales and to build consultative relationships with those customers to help improve overall sales to users, market share, and enhance the Customer Experience with Ohio CAT.

The Inside Sales Rep will be assigned to and manage an account base established by the manager, customers included in any market segment served by the Heavy Equipment and Industrial Engine Divisions.

Other job duties include preparing and presenting quotes for parts and estimates for equipment repairs, visual inspections of equipment, and promoting sales campaigns and all aspects of the dealer’s offerings.
