Position Overview:
This is a new business development position, otherwise known as outside sales. Our 35-year-old, family-owned company continues to grow and has an opening for a Business Account Executive that will be responsible for acquiring and supporting the marketing, print & sign needs of business-to-business clients. If you are still interested, make sure to read this entire listing.
Some of the activities of the position include qualifying leads, sales appointments, proposal presentations and follow up. The ability to use technology including computers, the internet, social media, and email are integral to the role. You will be required to make phone calls to people you do not know, you must be willing to call and call and call again. Seriously if you are not willing to follow-up you should not apply.
Success in this position will require you to create business conversations with complete strangers; many of whom won’t want to talk to you, it is not easy. If you are looking to punch a timeclock and collect a paycheck this is not the job for you.
The right candidate has experience in B2B sales, new account development and account management. Important traits will include being energetic, positive, self-motivated, detailed and a strong people person. Background in print, marketing, signage, direct mail, or promotional products is a plus.
We understand that your success is our success and provide the support you will need to excel including:
· Onboarding program to speed your success
· Full integrated marketing campaign to support your efforts
· Exciting work environment where company success is shared with the team
· We ensure that you will have the tools you need for success from technology to marketing
· Opportunities for national recognition and awards
· Ongoing support and training
· Incentives and rewards for accomplishment
The Important Stuff You Must Have:
- You must be nice to the people who are our customers and those that you work with even when they do not deserve it
- Be a good communicator - in person, on the phone and able to compose an email that does not look like a 3rd grader wrote it
- A basic understanding of modern technology including the ability to use the internet
- Like to work and work while at work (a post to Instagram won't kill anyone as long as you get your work done)
- Be a multi-tasking ninja, we do a lot in a short amount of time, this is no place for the proactively challenged
- Basic math is a must, but yes you can use a calculator
- Must be willing to jump in and figure things out on your own, no hand holding here
- You must be a life-long learner to work here. Lots to learn and it is always changing
- Willingness to pick up the phone and call someone, then call again and then make another call, seriously you must talk on the phone to people and initiate conversations
Big Pluses If You Have:
- Sold stuff B2B or at least know what B2B is
- Any kind of graphic design or past print experience
- A background in the sign industry
- Understanding of direct mail and the data that drives it
- Software experience with the Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office
- Utilized a CRM system
