Distribution Sales Manager

The Distributor Sales Manager is a dynamic "player-coach" role responsible for both driving direct sales growth and actively leading, developing, and engaging a high-performing Distribution Sales team. While maintaining key relationships with top-tier distribution partners to maximize AAT revenue and gross margins, this leader will also focus heavily on onsite management, mentoring team members, and assisting the Distribution team in growing their respective accounts. The main objective of this position is to champion a culture of continuous people development and recognition, while strategically guiding the team in setting up new stocking distributors, executing product seminars, and driving overall AAT product sales through distribution.
