Put Your Relationships to Work
You already know the contractors, fleet owners, farmers, and dealers in your market. You know what they operate and when they are ready to sell. At TAC Auction, those relationships can become a rewarding sales career.
We are hiring an experienced outside sales professional to secure auction consignments of heavy equipment, commercial trucks, trailers, and entire fleets. You will work from a home base in or near Gainesville, Georgia, and follow your relationships wherever they lead. We do not draw rigid territory lines.
This is an active prospecting role. We provide some leads, but most of your business will come from the calls, visits, and relationships you develop yourself. If owners in trucking, construction, or agriculture already take your calls, we can teach you the auction side.
About TAC Auction
TAC Auction has sold heavy equipment, commercial trucks, trailers, and transportation assets for more than 13 years. Our focus is the Southeast, and our buyers come from around the world.
- More than 50 auctions annually, including monthly equipment auctions, weekly auctions, special events, and select on-site sales.
- More than 1,000 lots offered each month.
- More than 2,500 registered bidders per auction.
Our sales representatives benefit from:
-
Broad buyer exposure. We advertise across multiple channels, and a live auctioneer brings bidders from multiple online platforms together in one sale, helping create competition for your customers’ assets.
-
Flexibility and personal service. We work closely with sellers to develop auction solutions that fit their needs.
What You Will Do
- Secure consignments of equipment, trucks, trailers, and fleets from contractors, fleet owners, dealers, lenders, and business owners.
- Prospect consistently through existing contacts, referrals, cold calls, and in-person visits.
- Identify opportunities involving surplus equipment, fleet replacements, business closures, and liquidations.
- Meet with owners, understand their goals, and explain TAC’s auction process.
- Gather accurate asset information and work with our team on valuations, auction strategy, and seller expectations.
- Complete photography and inspections for smaller consignments, with team support available for larger projects.
- Maintain accurate customer records, follow-up activities, and sales opportunities in our CRM.
- Coordinate with marketing, logistics, titles, and operations to prepare assets for sale.
- Attend industry events and maintain a strong presence in your market.
- Meet consignment goals and build repeat business.
Expect field travel four to five days per week, returning home most nights, with approximately three to five overnight stays per month. Additional travel may be needed based on customer and business opportunities.
