    Emerging Accounts Sales Representative

    Role Overview

    The Emerging Accounts Sales Representative is responsible for managing, supporting, and developing a large portfolio of small, early-stage customer accounts. These accounts represent a meaningful portion of overall revenue and require an efficient, scalable engagement approach.

    This role focuses on customer onboarding, account enablement, and growth, while guiding customers to the most appropriate purchasing and support channels, including eCommerce and distribution partners. The objective is to increase account productivity, encourage self-service adoption, and advance accounts into higher-value segments over time.

    Key Responsibilities

    1. Account Management & Development

    • Ensure customers are equipped to independently manage day-to-day needs wherever possible

    3. Channel & Digital Engagement

    • Direct customers to the most appropriate purchasing pathway.  E.g. take orders directly, introduce them to eCommerce, or introduce them to channel partners, based on account size and complexity.
    • Increase utilization of eCommerce and distribution channels to improve efficiency and customer experience
    • Align account engagement model with company segmentation and cost-to-serve strategies

    4. Operational Efficiency & Execution

    • Effectively prioritize and manage a large number of accounts and activities
    • Maintain accurate account records, activity tracking, and pipeline updates in CRM systems
    • Leverage data and reporting tools to identify trends and optimize engagement strategies
    • Collaborate with field sales and support teams to ensure alignment across customer touchpoints

    Key Competencies

    • Highly organized with the ability to manage a large portfolio of accounts
    • Customer-focused with a strong service orientation
    • Strong business judgment in directing customers to the appropriate channel (direct vs. partner/eCommerce)
    • Process-driven with a focus on efficiency and scalability
    • Adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
