ABOUT THE ROLE
Hedy Brands is looking for a driven, self-managed Traveling Sales Representative to help grow our B2B customer base and develop strong relationships throughout our market.
This is a field-focused sales role for someone who enjoys talking to people, building relationships, finding opportunities, and closing business.
You'll spend part of your time on the phone developing leads and managing accounts, and approximately 50% of each month traveling to meet customers and prospects in person.
We're a growing company, which means things move quickly and there's plenty of room for someone who wants to take ownership, bring ideas, and help build something rather than simply follow a playbook.
Experience in our industry—or a related industry such as smoke/vape, hemp, wellness, CPG, convenience, specialty retail, distribution, beverages, or supplements—is a plus.

- Prospect for and develop new B2B accounts through phone, email, networking, and in-person outreach
- Build and maintain strong relationships with existing customers
- Travel approximately 50% of each month for customer visits, sales meetings, account development, and prospecting

- Manage your territory, calendar, travel schedule, pipeline, and follow-ups independently
- Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and increase sales
- Consistently follow up with prospects throughout the sales process
- Maintain accurate customer and opportunity information in the company's CRM
- Stay informed on company products, customer needs, industry developments, and market trends
- Communicate customer feedback, opportunities, and issues to internal teams
- Take ownership of your sales activity, pipeline, customer relationships, and results
- Help identify new opportunities for Hedy Brands to grow
QUALIFICATIONS
- Has previous B2B sales experience
- Is comfortable selling both over the phone and face-to-face
- Is confident prospecting and initiating conversations with new customers
- Has experience using a CRM

- Has a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Industry experience is a plus.
- Experience in smoke/vape, hemp, wellness, CPG, convenience, specialty retail, distribution, beverages, supplements, or other fast-moving sales industries is preferred, but not required.
We're more interested in how you sell, how you think, and how you take ownership than whether you've worked in our exact industry.
