• Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing sales team, including account managers, sales development reps, and partnership leads.
• Design and implement a comprehensive sales strategy, customer segmentation model, and targeted outreach for diverse customer segments (e.g., small businesses, schools, event organizers).
• Collaborate with marketing and product teams to shape packaging, pricing, messaging, and go-to-market plans for new offerings.
• Serve as the executive sponsor for major accounts, cultivating deep, long-term customer relationships and thought leadership.
• Demonstrate sales excellence by personally handling key deals and supporting the team with hands-on involvement.
• Provide market insights and customer feedback to leadership, influencing product roadmaps, service enhancements, and operational improvements.
• Establish and track critical performance metrics (e.g., pipeline health, conversion rates, customer acquisition cost, retention rates, NPS) to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Minimum of 10 years in sales, with at least 3 years leading or building a sales team.
• Extensive experience in apparel, promotional products, or custom merchandise, with established relationships among corporate buyers, distributors, and B2B clients.
• Proven success selling to organizations in corporate gifting, promotional products, branded merchandise, or large-scale event apparel, with an understanding of their sourcing and distribution processes.
• Demonstrated ability to build a sales operation from scratch—setting vision, implementing systems, and driving results without a predefined playbook.
• Operator’s mindset with a founder’s drive—relentlessly iterating, optimizing, and owning business outcomes.
