We're hiring an experienced B2B Outside Account Executive to join an established, growing organization and develop business throughout the greater Chicago market.

• Meet customers in the field and build strong relationships

• Grow existing accounts through cross-selling and account expansion
• Sell consultatively on value, service, and solutions—not price alone

Packaging experience is NOT required. Strong backgrounds could include industrial distribution, manufacturing, MRO, safety/facility supplies, uniforms, logistics, material handling, or other repeat-purchase B2B products.

You should be:

• Comfortable generating your own pipeline
• Able to provide examples of new accounts you've personally won
• Consultative, competitive, persistent, and organized
• Strong at both new-business development AND account growth
• Comfortable working independently in a field-based environment

What You'll Get

PPO Health Insurance | 401(k) Match | Profit Sharing | Mileage Reimbursement

You'll also receive extensive product and sales training, an established customer base, direct access to leadership, and the autonomy to make a visible impact.
