• Hit specific daily activity benchmarks and close business consistently


• Cultivate existing client relationships and identify opportunities to expand accounts

Requirements:

• 3+ years of B2B outside sales experience with a proven track record of surpassing $1M+ annual sales quotas


• Industry background in distribution, logistics, facilities management, property management, construction, Cintas or similar service industries strongly preferred

• Highly competitive, self-motivated, and results-driven


• Comfortable working independently in a field-based role


• Bachelor's degree preferred, not required


• Must disclose any active non-competes at time of submission
