Regional Sales Manager - Illinois Market (54226)

Performance Home Medical (PHM) has designated Regional Sales Managers for different geographical areas. The Regional Sales Manager is responsible for driving sales growth, building strong relationships with healthcare providers, managing key accounts, and ensuring our products meet the needs of patients and providers. The Regional Sales Manager will develop and implement sales strategies to increase revenue, maintain market competitiveness, and provide leadership to the sales team.

This role carries particular responsibility for developing new (“De Novo”) markets with no existing legacy book of business, requiring a leader who has personally built a referral-based book of business from the ground up and can develop that same skill in others — not just identify it on a resume.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key decision-makers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to promote PHM's product portfolio, including PAP, oxygen (O2), and ventilation (VENT) equipment.
• Coach representatives on territory-building strategy, referral-source development, and clinically credible positioning of products to physicians and discharge planners.
• Stay informed about industry trends, competitive dynamics, and new technologies, and provide insights to leadership.
• Collaborate with Operations, Billing, and Marketing to align sales efforts with company goals and ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.
• Monitor sales team performance, provide ongoing coaching, and identify areas for improvement through training and development programs.
• Maintain accurate records of sales activities, customer interactions, and account details using the company CRM.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory and industry standards for DME and healthcare broadly.
• Partner with the Chief Commercial Officer on regional go-to-market strategy, market prioritization, and resource allocation.
• Attend industry conferences, trade shows, and networking events to represent the company and expand business opportunities.
