At METHOD, our people are our greatest strength. As the largest thermoforming company in the Pacific Northwest, and possibly the entire West Coast, we’ve built a legacy of excellence over 40 years. Today, we’re looking for someone who’s ready to take the reins of opportunity, help shape our next chapter, and drive growth in an organization with a vibrant culture and a world of potential.
We’re a South Surrey-based on site Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing company with clients across North America, serving an incredibly broad range of industries. From crafting custom solutions for manufacturers and agriculture to producing growing trays for hydroponics and even rowboats, our work is as varied as our clients’ needs. We thrive on solving challenges with creativity, technical precision, and a customer-first mindset.
As an Inside Sales Representative, you are an engine of METHOD's sales pipeline, actively developing new opportunities for both our standard product lines and custom thermoplastics work while managing the inbound flow and assigned accounts that sustain our existing revenue base.
Your primary mandate is proactive: you identify and engage prospects, run structured outreach campaigns, and qualify opportunities that feed both the inside and outside sales cycles. You are comfortable making high-volume outbound calls and sending targeted emails to prospects who don't know us yet, and you follow up with discipline and consistency until a conversation happens or a clear no is established.
At the same time, you bring order to the inbound side, responding promptly, qualifying effectively, and ensuring no opportunity falls through the cracks. You own your assigned accounts with full accountability for the sales cycle, and you maintain the CRM data and reporting that makes the whole system visible and manageable.
This role reports to the Sales Manager.
