Metal Injection Molding SalesSunday, February 12, 2012 4:13 AM
How many competitors do YOU have? Six? A dozen? More than you can count? In the Metal Injection Molding, the answer is very few. Most often, you would be selling against a different process, machined metal parts. So if you can find customers who need a high volume of complex metal parts, you have a good prospect for a sale. Sounds easy, doesn't it? NO. NOTHING'S THAT EASY. But if you're a professional salesperson of manufactured components, we should talk about how you can succeed in this unique role. We are looking for a salesperson who can look at a product and see the opportunity to improve that product by providing a different design or a different material. For example, if you're good at selling plastic injection molded components based on your NEW IDEAS, you should investigate this career opportunity. Or if you are selling machined metal parts and you see a market for high volume injection molded metal parts, let's talk. Other creative-minded sales professionals from technical component arenas might also apply. We're open minded about your background because we're going to test your experience. The employer has proven its stability through 40 years of consistent family ownership and management. It's a comfortable, caring environment into which new ideas will be welcomed.
