Based on 1,260 distinct posted pay ranges, at 87 companies, every range put on a yearly basis (a rate per hour × 2,080 hours). 1,225 of the 2,949 openings here list no pay; 16 name only a top figure ("up to $X") and are not counted.

Open sales seats at companies that make, rent or distribute industrial products (building systems, electrical and plumbing supply, equipment rental, automation, crop inputs and freight), read from each company's own careers page. A role counts here when its employer sells to industry, whatever its title says. Each employer's careers system is read again every hour, so a seat it fills drops off this page at the next read.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.

Ask before you sign

Ask how commission is paid (on gross margin, on revenue or as a bonus over a quota), whether the territory comes with accounts, how much of the week is spent driving to customers, and whether a car or an allowance comes with the seat. More than half of the US postings here state pay, against few elsewhere, so the band on this page is the US one.

Posted pay for each kind of seat

Each row's band comes from that kind's own open postings in this market, by the method behind every band on the board (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends); a row needs three distinct posted ranges before it gets one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Frequently asked questions

How much does a industrial and distribution sales seat pay?

The open industrial and distribution sales roles carry 1,260 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $59.9k–$190k/yr and its median $89.8k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $700k/yr, at C.H. Robinson. 1,225 of the 2,949 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

Do you need a technical background for industrial sales?

For sales engineer seats, usually: a degree in engineering or years in the trade. Most outside, inside and counter seats hire from other sales jobs and from the trades and teach the product line, and trainee programs (Johnson Controls' technical sales trainees, United Rentals' sales development program) take graduates. The years and degrees today's open roles name are counted on this page. Counting the requirement lines of 147 open industrial and distribution sales roles, 2 a master's or an MBA, 60 a bachelor's or some degree and 85 mention no degree at all.

What does an industrial sales rep do?

Most seats are outside sales in a territory: calling on contractors, plants, farms and facility managers to sell equipment, supplies and service, or to rent machines to their sites. Distributors add inside and counter seats that quote and take orders from the same customers by phone and at the branch, and manufacturers add technical sales engineers who size systems and write the proposals. On 2 November 2026 United Rentals, Johnson Controls, Graybar, Syngenta and Renuity had the most open US roles here, and outside sales representative was the most common title.

Are these openings real?

Each one is read from the employer's own careers system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the like), and Apply takes you to that company's application. Apex, Renewal by Andersen, Muon Space and Steelcase are among the employers on this page. A real employer never charges you for training, a starter kit or a background check; the scam checker lists the other warning signs of a fake offer.
