• Set clear performance expectations, track KPIs, and manage performance improvement plans as needed.
• Foster a team culture centered on integrity, customer focus, and continuous improvement.
• Carry an individual sales quota, sourcing and closing fire alarm and fire sprinkler opportunities (including new system installations, service, and inspection and testing agreements) alongside the team.
• Own the team's revenue targets, gross margin performance, forecast accuracy, and pipeline health across the assigned territory and market segments.
• Develop and execute territory sales strategies that maximize penetration of target markets and customer segments across both service/deficiency and construction/project channels, balancing recurring revenue growth with new project pursuits.
• Personally cultivate relationships with key general contractors, developers, property managers, and end users (including through active membership in Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) and similar trade associations) to position Piper as the preferred fire protection partner in the Clearwater market.
• Support team members on complex deals, large accounts, and high-value negotiations.
• Lead weekly pipeline reviews and enforce CRM discipline across the team, identifying risks, acceleration opportunities, and coaching needs.
• Partner directly with executive leadership on sales forecasts, market intelligence, and growth planning for the Clearwater branch.
• Collaborate with operations and service delivery teams to ensure seamless handoffs and customer satisfaction post-sale.
• Partner with marketing and business development to align on lead generation, campaigns, and market presence.
• Participate in pricing, proposal strategy, and contract review for key opportunities.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED required; Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, or related field preferred.
• 7+ years of B2B sales experience, with at least 3 years in a sales leadership or people-management role with direct quota responsibility for the team.
• Minimum 5 years of fire protection industry sales experience (sprinkler, fire alarm, low voltage life-safety, or related life-safety contracting), with direct experience selling both service/deficiency work and construction/project work.
• Strong working knowledge of fire alarm and low voltage service offerings, including the technical, code, and operational considerations that drive customer buying decisions.
• Demonstrated track record of leading commission-based or quota-carrying sales teams to meet or exceed revenue and margin targets in a contracting or service-based environment.

• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Proficiency with CRM platforms and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to analyze pipeline metrics and translate insights into action.
• High level of integrity, professionalism, and accountability in all interactions.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment while managing multiple priorities.
