    Job Description

    We're looking for a highly motivated and independent Outside Sales Representative to be the driving force behind our company's expansion. This is the first dedicated sales position in the field, making you a key player in our growth story. Your primary responsibility will be to proactively find and acquire new customers in your assigned territory.

    Requirements

    Required Qualifications

    • Proven Sales Experience: A track record of success in outside sales, with a focus on new business acquisition. Candidates should be able to demonstrate they have met or exceeded sales targets in previous roles.

    • B2B Sales Expertise: Experience selling directly to other businesses is essential. This includes a deep understanding of the B2B sales cycle, which often involves longer timelines and multiple decision-makers.

    • Exceptional Communication: Strong verbal and written communication is a must. This includes active listening to understand customer needs, clear presentation skills, and professional email correspondence.

    • Self-Motivation and Discipline: An outside sales role requires a high degree of autonomy. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is disciplined in managing their own schedule and workload.

    • Excellent Time Management: The ability to effectively plan and prioritize daily activities, from prospecting and client meetings to administrative tasks, is crucial for success in a field-based role.

    • Valid Driver's License: This is a physical requirement of the job. Candidates must have a reliable vehicle for travel within the assigned territory.

    Highly Desired Skills

    • Industry Knowledge: Experience in the hospitality, hotel, or distribution industry is a significant advantage.

    • CRM Proficiency: Experience using a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is required for managing leads, tracking customer interactions, and reporting on sales activities.
