About the Role

This is a pure hunter sales role at a well-established, privately owned manufacturer serving the printing and packaging industries. The company has been in business for decades, has a loyal customer base, and is growing. This is not an account management position. They need someone who wakes up every day looking for new business and knows how to close it.

• Drive the full sales cycle from cold outreach through close
• Build relationships with new customers and convert prospects into long-term accounts
• Collaborate with account managers to ensure smooth handoff and customer retention after the sale
• Maintain activity in the field with regular visits to customer and prospect locations
• Report sales activity and pipeline updates to the sales manager

Requirements

• Proven track record as a hunter in outside B2B sales
• Converting, packaging, printing or graphic arts industry background is preferred but not required
• Strong salespeople from other industries are welcome to apply
• Smart, hungry, and high character. Those three things matter more than a degree or a perfect resume
• Stable work history with demonstrated ability to build a book of business
• Comfortable working in a hybrid environment with regular field activity
• Self-motivated with the drive to prospect independently and consistently

Compensation and Benefits

• $75,000 to $85,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission with total comp potential up to $300,000 and beyond
• Mileage reimbursement for field travel
• Expense reimbursement for meals and business-related costs
• Stable, privately owned company with a strong reputation and long-tenured team

This role is for someone who knows how to hunt, is not looking for leads handed to them, and wants to be rewarded for what they produce. If that describes you, apply now and let's talk.
