Equipment Sales Specialist

We are looking for an Equipment Sales Specialist in the Portland, OR area!  Sales experience is a must, dental experience is preferred (not required).

Purpose: As an Equipment Specialist, you bring value to Burkhart clients by providing expert insight and advice on dental equipment, technology and service in a way that supports both the client and Burkhart’s success. You will drive the sales cycle and equipment sales volume by working closely with your Account Managers and Service Technicians to nurture current client relationships, developing new clients and seeing each client through the sales process from lead to successfully installed equipment. Your integrity, dedication to client success, and teamwork skills – in addition to your sales skills and knowledge of dental equipment – are key to success in this role. This is an outside sales position that may require significant travel depending on the assigned territory

What you’ll be doing...

What you’ll need…

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Healthcare Management, or related field is required. Significant additional experience in Dental Equipment Sales that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the essential responsibilities may substitute for a degree.
• 4 years of successful outside sales experience in a medical or technical sales field. • Demonstrated success closing large equipment sales.
• Ability to travel by car and airplane to client offices, meetings, trainings, and events on a frequent basis. Out of town travel of up to 50% may be required depending on territory.
• The associate must maintain a valid driver’s license, maintain a good driving record (as defined by Burkhart’s liability insurance), and be insurable at all times.

• Free Wellness program including gift card incentives for completing wellness activities, company-wide events (like Fresh Fruit Fridays), and Principal’s financial wellness program.
