Product Specialist Keep Supply - 4.1 Springfield, MO Job Details $45,000 - $50,000 a year 10 hours ago Benefits Paid holidays Health insurance Unlimited paid time off Dental insurance Vision insurance Qualifications Customer relationship building Phone communication Research Customer engagement Activity sales targets Full Job Description The Role We're looking for a Product Specialist to join our growing Sales Team in the industrial refrigeration space. This is a phone-and-desk-based role where you'll be the go-to resource for customers navigating technical product questions — writing quotes, researching solutions, and coordinating with vendors and internal teams to make sure every customer gets what they need. You'll work closely with your Sales team and cross-functional departments (Accounting, Shipping/Receiving) to build customer loyalty by consistently exceeding service and delivery expectations. The best person for this role is a natural problem-solver who's genuinely curious about how things work, communicates clearly, and thrives in a collaborative, Open-Book Management culture where everyone sees how their work drives the bottom line. What You'll Actually Do Keep customers at the center of every decision. Write customer quotes and follow through, consistently looking for opportunities to go the extra mile. Monitor inbound phone and email inquiries and respond promptly. Research and answer technical product questions to help customers solve real problems. Work with manufacturers and vendors on product information, availability, and status. Listen to customers, understand their needs, and qualify them against our value proposition. Follow up with customers who need ongoing technical assistance. Take diligent notes on customer profiles — equipment type, parts needed, purchasing process, decision makers, and more. Manage communication across internal departments (Accounting, Shipping/Receiving, Sales). Collaborate with the team to build and hit sales forecasts. Perform other duties as assigned by your manager. A Typical Week Looks Like Expect the bulk of your week centered on inbound customer activity — fielding calls and emails, writing quotes, and researching technical answers.

The rest is proactive:

following up on open quotes, digging into product/vendor details, maintaining detailed customer profiles, and coordinating with other departments to keep orders and forecasts on track. (
