    Maywood, IL | Full-Time | Salaried (Exempt)
    Occasional travel to Aetna Building Solutions’ branches
     
    Aetna Building Solutions is looking for a sales-minded leader to run our Inside Sales & Customer Service team across all branch locations. We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds — inside sales, outside sales, or branch/retail management — who know how to manage, mentor, and coach a team of high-performing reps. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set the tone for a high performance, customer-first culture while ensuring the team hits sales targets and delivers exceptional service.
     
    Industry experience in building materials distribution is a strong plus, and prior experience with DMSi Agility software is a huge plus. Most importantly, you'll need to be someone who can dig in, learn our systems, and become the go-to subject matter expert for the team.
     
    What You'll Do
    • Lead the Inside Sales team to achieve sales and service goals across multiple branches
    • Set clear expectations and annual goals aligned with company strategy
    • Coach, mentor, and develop a large group of reps, including regular one-on-ones and team huddles
    • Partner with Outside Sales, Purchasing, and Logistics to keep everyone aligned around the customer
    • Oversee onboarding and training, including product knowledge and CRM/ERP systems
    • Build and maintain key customer relationships to support retention and growth
    • Use CRM and ERP data to track performance, spot trends, and uncover growth opportunities
    • Lead quarterly KPI reviews and partner with the Outside Sales Manager on Territory Growth Plans
     
    Who We're Looking For
    • A sales management background — inside sales, outside sales, or branch management experience all welcome
    • A hands-on coaching style with a track record of developing teams
    • Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust and lead through influence across locations
    • Comfort with CRM/ERP systems; DMSi Agility experience is a significant plus
    • Building materials, construction supply, or distribution experience strongly preferred
    • Bachelor's degree in business, sales, or related field preferred
    • 5+ years in sales or customer service leadership, including 2+ years managing a team
     
    Compensation & Benefits Include
    • $65,000-$85,000 per year plus incentive earning potential. Compensation is based on job experience, skills, education, training, and more to be determined at time of offer.
    • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
    • Company-paid Life Insurance & Short-Term Disability Insurance
    • 401(k) with Company Match
    • Profit Sharing Program
    • Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays
    • Ongoing training and career development
    • Stable, growing company with advancement opportunities
