Cyclone Bolt is a Houston-based manufacturer and supplier of premium bolting and engineered fastener solutions for demanding industrial applications. From our 41,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility, we produce precision bolts, studs, custom fasteners, and machined components using ISO 9001:2015, API Q1, and API 20E/20F certified processes.

​

We’re known for same-day production capabilities, fast and accurate quoting, and a “do the right thing” mindset that customers count on when lead times matter and specs can’t be missed. Cyclone Bolt supports its customers with responsive service, consistent quality, and a long-term partnership approach.

 

Role Description: Business Development Manager — Regional Territories (Hunter / New Business)

This is a full-time, remote role focused on winning new business and expanding Cyclone Bolt’s presence across designated territories. This is not an account manager role. We are looking for a true hunter—someone who thrives on outbound prospecting, opening doors, creating opportunities from scratch, and consistently closing new accounts.

​

You will build a territory plan, identify and pursue high-value targets, and drive business from first contact → quote → close → repeat orders, working closely with internal quoting, operations, and quality teams to deliver compliant, on-time solutions.

 

Territories Needed

1. East North Central

2. East South Central

3. South Atlantic

4. West North Central

5. West / Pacific

6. Canada

7. South America

(Candidates may cover one region or multiple regions depending on experience and existing relationships.)

 

Key Responsibilities

• Generate new opportunities weekly through outbound prospecting (calls, emails, in-person visits, Teams meetings and networking)

• Identify, target, and win new logos in industrial bolting / engineered fasteners

• Build and execute a territory plan (target list, cadence, pipeline goals, and conversion strategy)

• Manage opportunities from lead → quote → close → repeat business

• Maintain strong pipeline discipline, CRM updates, and forecasting

• Represent Cyclone Bolt at industry trade shows, customer events, and onsite visits

• Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and territory performance; adjust strategy accordingly

• Coordinate internally to ensure fast quoting, technical alignment, and on-time execution

 

Qualifications

• Proven success in hunter-style business development / outside sales

• Fastener and/or gasket industry experience is required

• Experience selling into industrial markets such as oil & gas, mining, pulp & paper, and food & beverage (or similar heavy industrial manufacturing environments)

• Comfortable in technical selling environments (specs, compliance, lead times, substitutions/approvals)

• Strong negotiation, account strategy, and territory planning skills

• Excellent communication, follow-up, and presentation skills

• Understanding of manufacturing and supply chain dynamics is a plus

• Ability to work independently in a remote role while contributing to a team

• Proficiency in CRM tools and pipeline/reporting discipline

• Willing to travel

• Bilingual a plus

• Basic computer skills are a must

• Use of AI is a plus

 

Hunter Profile (What “Good” Looks Like Here)

• Enjoys cold outreach and turning “no” into momentum

• Comfortable being measured by new opportunities created and new accounts won

• Moves fast, follows up relentlessly, and creates urgency without being pushy

• Doesn’t wait for inbound leads—builds the funnel
