Sales Director

 

What you will do:

Create and develop a high performing sales team, leading them to achieve revenue objectives and to meet customer expectations. The sales team is comprised of business development managers (BDMs) focused on obtaining new business and account managers (AMs) focused on growing existing business.

What you will sell:

Online company stores that enable organizations efficiently and cost-effectively purchase and receive apparel and items bearing their brand.
 

Why you should join our organization:

We’re not your typical promotional products distributor; we focus on solutions that support the long-term needs of HR, marketing, sales, procurement, and safety functions within organizations. And, we have onsite capabilities (screen printing and embroidery) that provide additional brand control and efficiency for our clients.

Why now:

Our 40-year old organization is transforming and growing, which is reflected in our new company brand. This is the perfect time to join our collaborative team and an excellent opportunity to develop brand-building strategies.
