THE COMPANY & CULTURE:

Our client is a 16-year-old, family-owned manufacturing company based in Mississauga. Historically focused on mold manufacturing, they are expanding a complementary CNC machining and gun drilling service line to better utilize their existing CNC capacity and grow revenues with industrial customers. Employees are encouraged to be honest about any gaps in their skills, and management supports reasonable skill development. It is a close-knit, "clan-style" environment with low turnover and many team members having 5–10 years of tenure. You will work closely with, and report directly to, the VP, who values clear, direct communication and regular updates on pipeline and deals.

OFFICE LOCATION & SALES TERRITORY:

• Offices: Mississauga, ON
• Work Arrangement: Office-based Monday to Friday (40 hours per week), with a strong expectation to be in the office daily, especially in the first year, for close communication, product learning, and daily progress updates
• Territory: Ontario (no rigid geographic sub-territories), focusing on manufacturing and industrial customers that require metal machining services

EXPERIENCE, BACKGROUND & EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS:

• 3+ years of B2B sales experience (outside sales strongly preferred)

• 2–3+ years of industry experience in CNC machining / metal machining or very closely related machining services

• Experience selling into manufacturing/industrial customers, working with Production Managers, Purchasing/Procurement, and operational leadership

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

• Excel - Basic
• PowerPoint - Basic
• MS Word - Intermediate

THE PRODUCT / SERVICE / SOLUTION

• You will sell CNC machining and gun drilling services with a primary focus on metal machining. Typical work includes machined metal parts (e.g., aluminum components), covers and housings for pumps and machinery, and higher-volume runs of machined metal pieces.

• Key industries served include general manufacturing and automation, aluminum foundry and metal casting, battery-related components, and broader industrial applications where precision metal machining is required.

PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS / INDUSTRY FOCUS / DECISION MAKER(S):

• Prospective customers are small to mid-sized manufacturing and industrial companies (typically 20–99 employees) that require metal machining work. Industry focus includes battery box production, automation equipment, aluminum foundry and other industrial applications where machined metal components, covers and housings are needed. The core geographic focus is Ontario, with some opportunity to support U.S. customers.

• Decision Makers: Typically Purchasing, mid-management, and/or senior operational leadership, with roughly two key influencers involved in most decisions

SALES CYCLE / PRODUCT VALUE / ACCOUNT SIZE:

• Typical Order Size: Approximately $1,000 – $100,000 per order

• Ideal Annual Account Size: Around $2,000,000 in annual revenue per key account

• Sales Cycle: Approximately 1–4 weeks for ideal accounts

LEADS:

• This is a self-sufficient hunter role with no reliance on provided leads.

  Year 1: 100% new business development; 0% account management
  Year 2: Approximately 75% new business; 25% account management as a starter portfolio begins to generate recurring revenue

  Lead Sources:
  – Warm leads supplied: 0%
  – Lists supplied: 0%
  – Self-generated (prospect and create own list): 100%

  You will be expected to build and manage your own prospect lists, conduct cold outreach (phone, email, and visits), and convert new manufacturing customers into recurring machining accounts.

TRAVEL:

• Local in-person client visits as required; no regular evening/weekend or overnight travel

SUPPORT & TRAINING:

• Sales Training: As required, primarily self-directed and ad hoc; this role is designed for someone who already knows how to sell machining services and does not require heavy formal sales training

• Technical/Product Training: As required, self-directed and ad hoc, typically up to one week of focused onboarding on capabilities, machines, and typical jobs, plus ongoing access to technical staff for questions

• Management Support: Direct access to the VP for guidance, strategy discussions, and deal support, but day-to-day activity planning and execution are largely owned by you

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY:

• You want a true hunter role where your results directly drive your income and impact.

• You have hands-on experience selling CNC machining/metal machining services and are ready to build a new book of business rather than inheriting existing accounts.

• You value a family-owned, stable company with a close-knit culture, low turnover, and steady growth, where decisions are fast and bureaucracy is minimal.

• You're motivated by the opportunity to grow a newer CNC machining revenue stream, help fill underutilized machine capacity, and position yourself as the go-to sales expert for this line of business.
