About The Bazaar

The Bazaar is a third-generation, family-owned closeout company that has been buying and selling great deals for more than 65 years.

We buy excess inventory from some of the largest consumer brands and retailers in the world and sell it to a huge network of independent retailers, wholesalers, ecommerce sellers, and discount stores.

Our business moves fast. Every day brings new products, new deals, and new opportunities. If you like selling, building relationships, negotiating, and chasing opportunities, you'll fit right in.

The Role

We're looking for a Sales Account Executive who wants to build a book of business and make money doing it.

You'll manage existing customers while actively finding new ones. You'll have thousands of products and constantly changing deals to sell—from food and health & beauty to household goods, toys, sporting goods, and more.

This isn't a role where you sit around waiting for leads. We want someone who enjoys picking up the phone, building relationships, finding opportunities, and closing business.

What You'll Do

• Build and grow your own book of customers
• Prospect and open new accounts
• Develop strong relationships with existing customers
• Sell a constantly changing assortment of closeout merchandise
• Present deals and negotiate pricing and quantities
• Stay in regular contact with customers and look for ways to grow their business
• Manage your pipeline and keep customer activity organized in our CRM
• Work closely with our buying, operations, and logistics teams
• Attend trade shows and industry events when needed
• Sell. A lot.

Who We're Looking For

We're less concerned with checking every box and more interested in finding someone who can sell.

You'll probably be a great fit if you:

• Have a track record of success in B2B sales
• Love prospecting and aren't afraid of cold outreach
• Know how to build long-term customer relationships
• Are competitive, energetic, and self-motivated
• Can negotiate and close
• Are comfortable working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
• Have experience in wholesale, CPG, retail, distribution, closeouts, or a related industry — a big plus
• Want compensation where your upside grows with your sales

Compensation

$75,000 base salary + 1% commission

Target total earnings: $100,000+

The more business you build, the more you earn.

Location & Schedule

This is a hybrid position based in River Grove, Illinois .

You must be able to work from our River Grove office at least 3 days per week. This requirement is non-negotiable.

We believe salespeople perform better when they're close to the inventory, buyers, operations team, and the deals they're selling.

If you're looking for a sales role where you can build relationships, chase deals, grow your book of business, and directly benefit from what you produce, we'd love to meet you.
