About Patterson Companies

Patterson is a distributor, so its reps carry a catalog rather than one product: everyday consumables, equipment, technology and software for dental offices on one side and for veterinary clinics, ranchers and agricultural retailers on the other. Dental territory sales reps work a fixed set of practices and sell equipment on return on investment and tax treatment, managed by district sales managers who ride along with their teams; on the animal health side, Patterson Veterinary territory managers hold the consumables business in vet offices while closing equipment and technology sales, AHI territory managers sell pharmaceuticals and supplies to mixed-practice vets, agricultural retailers and livestock producers, and a strategic account manager in Loveland, Colorado signs and grows the group purchasing organizations that buy for independent practices and corporate groups. The board also holds three district sales manager postings, an inside sales rep in San Antonio, a remote director of business development in Minnesota and a senior sales compensation analyst in St Paul. Fifteen of its 24 sales openings name a single US place (Rochester, Seattle, Denver, Tucson, Albuquerque, Chicago, Lexington and Los Angeles among them), seven are spread over several locations each, and two are Canadian territories in northern Alberta and southwestern Ontario posted by Kane Veterinary Supplies, which calls on production-animal vets, feed and farm dealers and pet specialty stores.
