• Comfortable opening new accounts and handling objections
• Competitive, resilient, and metrics-driven
• Strong phone presence and professional communication skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, performance-focused environment

Who Will Succeed Here

• Enjoys outbound calling
• Takes pride in activity and consistency
• Wants to build something rather than inherit a book
• Understands that success in logistics sales starts with the phone
