About Steve Koch

I am a results oriented sales professional with a successful track record in industrial and commercial sales. I am presently entering in my second year with Sunbelt Rentals Flooring Solutions Division. Developing expanded markets with an industry leader. It has been a fun and exciting challenge working with our team of sales and service technicians to grow sales in the Oregon State and SW Washington areas. We rent the top industrial machines in the concrete grinding, polishing, stripping and burnishing market. Our sizes and types of industrial and commercial sweepers, scrubbers and combination machines is unmatched in the market place as Sunbelt is the industry leader. We don’t just rent machines, we consult with customers to make sure our Flooring Solution is the correct one for the job at hand. Prior to being a Sales Engineer for Sunbelt I was Industrial and Distributor sales representative for Tennant for 15 years. As a Distribution Manager, I was tasked with developing a distributor network for an industrial company starting up a commercial division. Starting in 2002 with a $500k sales plan it was challenging to grow an unknown brand with distribution in Alaska, Oregon, and Idaho. Holding sales meetings, conducting seminars, and mentoring fifty distributor sales people proved challenging, but together we achieved a 501% sales increase! I have enjoyed working for industry leaders in cleaning solutions and on site power generation. These companies invest heavily in research and development producing technologies that continually disrupt the market place in a great way! I am always interested in hearing from colleagues, old friends, and sales professionals.
