What's in It for You

Autonomy and support
We'll give you the elbow room to manage and grow your territory the way you know best. At the same time, you'll have the support of a strong network of colleagues who all share the same objectives. That will include strategic support from the two Regional VPs in this territory.

Break out of the box
If you are frustrated by limits and boundaries in your current position, this role will be an exhilarating breath of fresh air. We can scale up to accommodate whatever business you bring in, and you'll be able to target any company that uses a fleet.

Tip of the spear
You will lead the charge, selling to and negotiating with executives at various companies. Over time you will build and manage a high-level portfolio of customers for years to come. And your earning potential will be limited only by your ability to close deals.

Fair and family oriented
Dickinson Fleet Services is family owned and operated. We realize that our success depends upon attracting and retaining the very best talent in the business. That's why we've created a culture based on strong values, in which everyone can grow and prosper.

Dedication to quality and service
Twenty years ago the owners of DFS set out to build a company that provides the highest level of quality and customer service in fleet management. Every one of our 600+ employees knows that quality and customer service are our passion. We work 24/7 to exceed expectations through our focus on customers, employees and safety.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive base salary and opportunities to earn commission and bonuses, we offer a strong benefits package that includes health insurance with medical, dental, prescription drug and vision coverage; free life insurance; free short-term disability insurance; an available 401(k) plan; holiday pay and paid vacation days. We'll also provide a car allowance, laptop and smartphone.

Keys to Success

We are looking for a true hunter with a never-ending desire to win and close deals. You'll need a strong entrepreneurial spirit to grow this territory and keep it thriving. This will require you to work independently, from getting yourself motivated to managing your pipeline to coordinating among internal resources. At the same time, we take a team-oriented approach across DFS. You'll collaborate with the two Regional VPs to ensure your strategies support regional goals, and also partner with different departments within DFS.

We understand that there will be a learning curve as you become familiar with our business and markets. At the same time, you should be proactive about getting up to speed quickly.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Sales Executive, you will:

• Enjoy learning and growing, and remain open to constructive feedback.
• Remain flexible and adaptable as the sales environment changes.
• Be comfortable presenting to senior executives, internally and externally -- you may be invited to report on your efforts at DFS executive meetings.
• Manage multiple activities and priorities effectively.
• Deliver excellent customer service, both externally and internally.
• Pay attention to details while also grasping the big picture and how the details fit into it.
