ROOT NEAL & COMPANY INC

Job Description Job Description WHY WORK HERE 120-year-old, 4th generation family business - stable, respected, and genuinely invested in your success Real territory with existing accounts from day one - you're not cold-calling from a spreadsheet Technical products, long-term customer relationships, and commission that grows as your book grows OUR STORY Root, Neal & Company has been part of Western New York's industrial fabric since 1905. We're a 4th generation, family-owned distributor of pumps, power transmission, steam specialties, lubrication, fluid power, and precision scales - headquartered in Buffalo with customers across WNY, the Southern Tier, and beyond. Some of the manufacturer brands on our shelves today were there when we opened. Our customers have been buying from us for decades - in some cases, generations. That's not an accident. It's what happens when you show up, know your stuff, and treat people right. THE ROLE You'll own a territory of industrial accounts across Western New York - manufacturers, quarries, food processors, utilities, and more. Some of these customers have been buying from us for years and need a rep who shows up, knows the product, and earns their trust. Others haven't heard from us in a while and need someone to reconnect with them. Both are your job.
