We conduct sales activities for industrial furnace equipment, focusing primarily on domestic and international chemical manufacturers. We maintain communication with existing customers by visiting them regularly to check on equipment operation status and provide maintenance recommendations. Additionally, to reach new customers, we exhibit at trade shows several times a year to promote our products. For customers with whom we have specific business discussions at trade shows, we schedule individual visits on separate days to present specific products and hold detailed meetings. Our main sales responsibilities include customer outreach, preparing quotes, contract negotiations, delivery schedule management, and post-delivery follow-up. The appeal of this sales role is the opportunity to be involved with customers from start to finish.
Although many of our clients are large corporations, we are given the opportunity to take on positions of responsibility from an early stage in our careers. Since this job involves bringing our clients’ needs to life, there are certainly challenging moments, but because the sales, operations, design, and manufacturing teams work together as one, I feel a strong sense of fulfillment when we secure an order for equipment or when we deliver it to a client.
We chose this company because it is a local business with a proven track record of successful deliveries both domestically and internationally.
