About Hawthorne Cat
Hawthorne Cat's sellers work a territory of contractors, power users, marine operators and public agencies, first placing Cat machines and engines and then selling the parts and service that keep them running. Three of its five sales openings are product support sales representatives in Rancho Bernardo who own a list of assigned accounts: two cover Cat earthmoving equipment (one of them labelled retail) and one covers Cat engines and generators, each quoting parts and service, making routine calls, logging call reports and writing a business plan for the territory. On Oahu, a machine sales rep in Waipahu runs a customer list for new equipment, cold calls for new accounts and needs at least seven years of Cat construction and compact equipment selling. The fifth seat is a manager for load banks, leading the sales, rental and service staff across California and Texas and selling Crestchic load banks throughout North America, the Cat dealer network included. Four of the five are in San Diego County and one in Hawaii, out of 38 postings on its board.
