- Present the product line, manage samples and displays, and onboard new accounts.
- Track your pipeline and report market feedback to leadership.
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of B2B sales experience in building materials, plumbing, electrical, kitchen and bath, or HVAC
- Equally comfortable at the counter and in the field, and organized enough to balance both
- Strong Inside Sales and Sales skills, with experience handling inbound and outbound customer interactions
