Job description

Are you a high-speed problem solver who thrives on variety and tactical execution? Join us at Neon Logistics as a Sales Assistant in our Chattanooga Office!

Are you obsessed with the “details”? Our mission is built on honesty, transparency, and accountability. As an Sales Assistant, you are the final line of defense in ensuring every shipment is built accurately, every appointment is confirmed, and every customer inquiry is met with a prompt, professional response.

• Tactical Scheduling: Manage the full lifecycle of appointments and confirmations. You will be responsible for the “boots on the ground” coordination that keeps drivers moving and warehouses efficient.
• Digital Hub Management: Act as the master of our customer portals, providing real-time updates and ensuring our digital footprint is as accurate as our physical movement.
• Admin:vLead the charge on POD (Proof of Delivery) collections, ensuring the billing cycle is completed swiftly and accurately.
• End-of-Day Excellence: Conduct rigorous EOD audits of all loads with outstanding appointments to ensure 100% coverage and clarity for the following day’s operations.
• Customer Advocacy: Provide “white-glove” service through prompt acknowledgment of all customer inquiries, serving as a reliable resource for information and issue resolution.

• Technical Proficiency: Comfortable navigating logistics software, customer portals, and internal databases.
