About The Position:

 

We are seeking to add a sales brand evangelist to our team to provide sales, training, order book management and business support for our retailers within the territory.

Ideal Candidate:

 

• Will be a high energy, charismatic and confident individual that can generate sales.
• Ability to handle extensive travel as the position will require extensive travel (100+ nights). 
• Passionate salesperson that wants to close deals, foster relationships with their customers, grow their business and expand their career.
• Ability to speak in front of an audience to train and ignite employee’s passion for our brands.
• Prior experience as a sales rep, sales manager or retail buyer. 
• Ability to back the car out of the driveway and see customers, as this is a traveling sales role.
• Strong computer skills in Microsoft platform, Excel proficiency, spreadsheet analysis and B2B platforms is critical.
