About RGAS
RGAS is a privately held Lifecycle Refrigerant Management company with more than three decades in the market, growing faster now than at any point in our history. In plain terms, we buy, reclaim, test, blend, and resell refrigerant across its full life. We are a distributor, an importer, an EPA-certified reclaimer, and a federal government contractor. We operate an ISO 9001 certified facility and an AHRI-accredited analytical laboratory in Crosby, Texas, where we recently completed a 12 month expansion project. We have built this business on long-standing, respectful relationships with customers and industry partners, grounded in trust and dependability. If you are competitive but would rather build a book than churn through one, this is a good seat. Refrigerant is a market worth learning. Under the federal AIM Act, HFC production and imports in the United States are being phased down on a fixed schedule, so supply tightens every year and the supplier who has product wins the order. What you learn here compounds instead of resetting every time a product cycle turns over. We are hiring Account Executives who are serious about making more money. Plenty of sales jobs are commission-only. RGAS offers a full-time salary with benefits, plus an uncapped commission program with both short-term and long-term earning components.
Key Responsibilities
- Grow and maintain a portfolio of accounts, both customers and prospects, and serve as their primary point of contact at RGAS. Many are established relationships that are already buying.
- Stay in front of your accounts, customers and prospects alike, with a consistent cadence of calls, video meetings, and email, so they hear from you before they need you.
- Quote, take, and shepherd orders through to delivery, coordinating with customer service when something needs to be solved.
- Keep customers informed on market conditions, pricing movement, and regulatory changes that affect their business. We provide training and market intelligence.
- Grow each account by learning the customer's business, their purchase history, and what they are currently buying somewhere else.
- Document every interaction in Salesforce so the whole team can support the account.
- Identify and flag new opportunities inside your book and pass along leads outside of it.
Qualifications and Skills
- 2+ years in B2B sales, inside sales, account management, or business development carrying revenue responsibility, preferably in a technical field. We are looking for an entrepreneurial approach to building a book.
- A strong phone presence and the self-discipline to hold a follow-up schedule without being chased.
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Real curiosity about how a customer's business works, and the listening skills to do something useful with what you hear.
- Comfort with a CRM and standard business software. We run Salesforce and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Teams). Prior Salesforce experience is a plus, not a requirement.
- High personal integrity to your accounts, you are RGAS.
- A competitive streak. We keep score, we celebrate the wins, and the commission plan rewards the people who push.
- Experience in HVAC/R, industrial gases, chemicals, or wholesale distribution is a plus. It is not required, and we have trained many people from outside the industry successfully.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary: Starting at $52,000, paid semi-monthly.
- Commission: Uncapped commission paid on gross margin for every order shipped to an account in your book. There is no cap, no territory limit, and no cutoff once an account reaches a certain size.
- You earn on both the new business you bring in and the repeat business you retain, so a book you build in year one keeps paying you in year three.
- Commission timing: Commission is paid monthly. We will walk you through the full plan document and the math on a real account during your interview, before you ever have to decide.
- Insurance: Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Paid time off: Yes.
- Location: Houston, TX 77019. This role is in office, Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
- We do not currently offer a 401(k). What we do offer is an uncapped commission plan with no ceiling on your book, in a market where supply is tightening every year. If you want to be paid for what you produce rather than for showing up, this is a good place to do it.
