Learn the Business. Own the Opportunity. Help Build Great Places to Play!
Sales Consultant
Openspace Solutions Inc. | Wellesley, Ontario | Greater Toronto Area
More than sales. Be part of the entire project.
Do you enjoy working with people, have an eye for design and take satisfaction in seeing a project through from the first conversation to the finished result?
Openspace Solutions is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented sales professional to join our growing team and eventually take ownership of an established Greater Toronto Area territory.
We specialize in bringing parks and outdoor spaces to life through quality playground equipment, splash pads and shade structures. Working with municipalities, landscape architects and general contractors, we help create spaces where people come together, play and connect.
This is a unique opportunity to learn an established business, work alongside an experienced salesperson and gradually transition into managing your own territory.
The Opportunity
We believe in setting people up for success.
Your first year will be spent working directly alongside one of our most experienced sales professionals, learning our products, customers, processes and the many details involved in bringing a project to life.
This is not simply a relationship-selling position. Our sales professionals are involved in virtually every stage of a project, from the initial customer meeting and playground design through proposals, pricing, order coordination and project delivery.
You'll develop both your customer-facing and technical skills, gaining a thorough understanding of our business before transitioning into an independent sales role.
The territory is established, with existing customer relationships and opportunities to build upon. Our goal is for you to take ownership of this territory and continue to service and develop it.
What You'll Be Doing
Sales & Customer Relationships
· Maintaining and developing relationships with municipalities, landscape architects, general contractors and other industry professionals.
· Conducting regular face-to-face customer visits, product presentations and lunch-and-learns.
· Identifying opportunities and providing product solutions to meet customer needs.
· Representing Openspace at industry trade shows, events and project grand openings.
Design, Proposals & Quoting
· Preparing preliminary playground designs and equipment layouts to meet site requirements and project budgets.
· Developing proposals, pricing and quotations for customers.
· Preparing and coordinating RFPs, tender submissions and pre-qualification packages.
· Working with our manufacturers and internal team to develop project solutions.
Project Coordination & Delivery
· Managing projects from initial customer discussions through to completion.
· Coordinating orders, product selections, drawings, timelines and project details.
· Working closely with our internal scheduling and installation teams to ensure projects move forward smoothly.
· Maintaining communication with customers, contractors and other project stakeholders throughout the process.
· Able to effectively diagnose issues and provide solutions under tight timelines.
What We're Looking For
· Experience in sales, preferably in a business-to-business environment.
· Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
· Comfortable working with design layouts, proposals, pricing and project documentation.
· An ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
· Strong written and verbal communication skills.
· A natural relationship builder who enjoys working with people.
· Someone who takes ownership, follows through and enjoys seeing a project completed successfully.
· A valid driver's licence and willingness to travel throughout the GTA.
Experience in playgrounds, landscaping, construction, recreation or building products would be an asset, but we're open to the right person from a related industry.
Why Openspace?
We're a family-owned Ontario business built on relationships, integrity and delivering on what we promise.
· One-on-one mentoring with a successful salesperson.
· A structured training and transition period.
· An established territory with existing customers and relationships.
· The opportunity to take ownership of your own territory and grow your career.
· A supportive team of designers, coordinators, scheduler and installation professionals.
· The satisfaction of being involved in projects that create lasting value in communities.
If you're someone who enjoys a mix of customer interaction, design, sales and project management - and likes being involved in the details rather than simply handing a project off - we'd like to hear from you.
