• Assisting channel partners with product knowledge, design base, and pricing (including reviewing drawings, plans, schedules, and engineering specifications to develop cost estimates), as well as sales and product coaching and training.
• Supporting business development and marketing activities, lead generation initiatives, and overall customer satisfaction by actively seeking out new opportunities and routes to market, qualifying leads, and closing new sales opportunities.
• Promoting the Johnson Controls & YORK value proposition by providing business and technical solutions, ensuring channel partners and their key consultants are engaged, and driving growth in the basis-of-design.
• Championing customer needs by identifying and analyzing market opportunities, conducting competitive product research, and coordinating requirements with other organizational disciplines.
• Forecasting and reporting actual business sales volumes for various product lines and accounts as requested.
• Executing the sales process and maintaining sales discipline to achieve sales excellence.

• Proven ability to identify and develop talent to build a high-performance team.
• Solid experience in industry sales operations management and leadership.
