Boolean rookie trying to find niche sales people in a geographic area

[Stuart Sides]

having difficulty sourcing specialized sales person with experience in Stationary Power sales people (batteries and related products) that sell to telecom, utilities, plants, data centers etc for the southeast United States. any advice?

[Howard Frankel]

I would penetrate the firms that manufacture or import the batteries. Or use their names in a boolean string....Irina are you there? (:-

One global manufacturer is PowerOne or Power-One. They had offices in Dallas for a while. If you go to Hoovers or other directories (Coles or Thompsons) you will find the names. Good Luck!

LinkedIn is a vast repository of sales reps, so you could start with this:
site:linkedin.com (+Sales | "Business Development" | ~sales) ("Electrical/Electronic" | "Telecommunications industry") (battery | batteries) (UPS | "stationary power" | "* power") (Florida | "Atlanta Area" | "* Georgia Area" | Mississippi | Alabama | "* Carolina Area"| "Miami/Fort Lauderdale") -inurl:companies -inurl:dir

Tweaking the industries will return more results, as will adding more locations in the South. You may also want to run an advanced search on LinkedIn with some of these parameters so that you can narrow down the location using a zip code radius.

In addition to the nice string that Kameron suggested, here are additional key words you could insert into his string:

quota ("top 10" | "top 100" | "top producer" | "president's club" | "revenue producer" | "account executive" | "sales rep*" | "sales consultant" | "business development" | "account development" | "sales executive" | "sales associate" | "account manager")
