About ERGOVENT
ERGOVENT is a Lithuanian manufacturer of innovative, flush-mounted air diffusers for modern ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
Our products were created to solve a common problem faced by architects and interior designers: traditional ventilation diffusers often disrupt otherwise clean and minimalist interiors.
ERGOVENT products integrate into ceilings and walls while also offering practical advantages to installers, including simple installation, standardised dimensions and reduced installation time.
The company is expanding internationally, increasing production capacity and developing a growing European distribution network. ERGOVENT products have also received internationally recognised design awards, including the iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an entrepreneurial Independent Sales Agent / Country Representative to accelerate ERGOVENT’s development in France.
France has recently demonstrated strong organic demand for ERGOVENT products. The market has responded positively to integrated, design-oriented solutions, creating an opportunity for a dedicated local representative to convert existing interest into a structured distribution network.
The successful person will initially focus on proactive business development and distributor acquisition. Over time, the role may develop into broader ownership of the French market as Country Manager for France.
Your Responsibilities
-
Develop ERGOVENT’s commercial presence throughout France.
-
Identify and engage HVAC distributors, wholesalers, specialist retailers and complementary commercial partners.
-
Generate new opportunities through proactive outreach, networking, referrals and in-person meetings.
-
Visit prospective customers and present product samples and demonstration units.
-
Explain the product’s design, installation, logistical and commercial advantages.
-
Conduct product demonstrations and training sessions for distributors and their sales teams.
-
Support new partners through evaluation, testing and initial product orders.
-
Build long-term relationships with distributors and other market stakeholders.
-
Cooperate with ERGOVENT’s Regional Manager, Sales Director and Account Management team.
-
Provide structured feedback about customer requirements, pricing, competitors and market opportunities.
-
Represent the company at relevant exhibitions, design events and construction-industry trade fairs.
-
Gradually take responsibility for inbound enquiries and selected existing accounts as the cooperation develops.
Target Customers
Potential customers may include:
-
HVAC distributors and wholesalers
-
Ventilation and air-conditioning companies
-
Building-material retailers
-
Plasterboard and interior-finishing distributors
-
Architectural and design-product suppliers
-
Installation and finishing companies
-
Specialist e-commerce businesses
-
Hardware and DIY retail chains
-
Regional distributors and trade stores
ERGOVENT aims to develop several complementary sales channels rather than granting complete market exclusivity to one distributor.
What We Are Looking For
-
Experience in B2B sales, commercial agency, distribution development or business development.
-
A strong hunter mentality and willingness to open doors independently.
-
Ability and willingness to travel regularly across France.
-
Fluency in French.
-
Sufficient English to work with ERGOVENT’s international team.
-
Strong interpersonal, presentation and negotiation skills.
-
Ability to demonstrate products confidently and conduct client training.
-
An independent and organised working style.
-
Motivation to develop a market and build recurring commission income.
-
A long-term and entrepreneurial mindset.
Previous experience in HVAC is not essential. Experience with premium products, architectural solutions, building materials, interiors, construction products or complementary brands would be highly relevant.
Independent agents already representing non-competing, complementary brands may also be considered.
What We Offer
-
A commission-based cooperation model with earning potential directly linked to the sales you generate.
-
A distinctive and internationally recognised product with strong visual appeal.
-
The opportunity to develop a market where interest and demand are already growing.
-
A product offering clear differentiation and commercial potential for distributors.
-
Access to multiple sales channels, including HVAC, building materials, design and e-commerce.
-
Ongoing support from ERGOVENT’s regional, sales and account-management teams.
-
Opportunities to participate in relevant trade fairs, exhibitions and product presentations.
-
The potential to take broader ownership of the French market and develop into a Country Manager role.
