Proficiency with computer systems is essential.

• Support customer retention and account growth by identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts.
• Assist in resolving customer concerns and follow up to ensure timely resolution and overall customer satisfaction.
• Develop and manage daily pricing strategies in support of customer contracts, project bids, and MRO agreements.
• Review and price all RFQs, bids, and customer requests, ensuring accuracy, responsiveness, and alignment with customer requirements.
• Collaborate with outside sales to communicate customer feedback, sales activity, concerns, and evolving account needs.
• Work closely with engineering, quality, purchasing, and vendors to address regulatory requirements, technical specifications, and product or design changes.
• Stay informed on products, industry standards, customer applications, and competitive offerings to effectively support customer needs.
• Coordinate purchased products with vendors and the purchasing department to support customer orders and delivery commitments.

Essential Skills

• 2+ years of experience in Inside Sales, Account Management, or Customer Service.
• High School Diploma or GED.
• Experience working with CRM or order-management systems.
• Ability to manage high volumes of email, pricing requests, quotes, and order entry.
