About the Role

We’re looking for a proven outside sales professional to take ownership of a well-established Midwest territory in the packaging industry. You’ll manage a strong base of existing accounts while driving new business development throughout the region. This role is ideal for someone who’s self-directed, relationship-driven, and ready to grow a territory with the full support of a leadership team that values performance and independence.

This is a high-impact role with approximately 50% travel across the Midwest.

This is a relationship-focused, high-impact role with approximately 50% travel across the East Coast.

Responsibilities

• Own and grow a multi-state East Coast sales territory with a mix of current and prospective accounts
• Aggressively pursue new business development across the packaging industry and adjacent sectors
• Sell a broad range of flexible packaging products and materials
• Manage the full sales cycle—from prospecting and quoting to closing and long-term relationship management
• Maintain detailed activity and pipeline updates through Salesforce or similar CRM tools
• Report weekly itineraries, monthly summaries, and key account updates directly to the VP of Sales
• Coordinate customer visits, plant tours, and events with the support of inside teams
• Strategically target and grow accounts in collaboration with senior leadership

• Track record of success in both new business development and account management
• Strong organizational and communication skills with attention to detail
• Comfortable managing a large, multi-state territory and traveling approximately 50% of the time
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and CRM tools—Salesforce experience is a plus
• Independent, self-motivated, and results-oriented

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-performing Midwest territory with strong existing accounts and room to grow
• Uncapped earning potential—your income reflects your performance
• Full control over how you manage your territory, with close collaboration from leadership
• Be part of a successful, family-run company that values integrity, work ethic, and loyalty
