Sales Representative (Cincinnati/Dayton territory)

Sales Representative | Strategic Growth Territory

The Opportunity: Own Your Market

This is a strategically critical role for a high-energy, relationship-driven sales professional ready to take the next step into a high-impact position. You will take ownership of a high-potential "whitespace" territorya market with significant room for immediate growth due to untapped demand and underserved customer needs. As the lead for this region, you won't just manage a list; you will act as an entrepreneurial "hunter", establishing anchor accounts and shaping a long-term market presence with no ceiling on your earning potential.

The Mission

You will leverage a "value-based" selling approach to provide specialized corrugated packaging solutions. Supported by a massive regional network with capabilities in brown box, sheet production, graphics, and retail fulfillment, you have the operational backing to solve complex customer requirements.

Drive Growth & Market Expansion

Identify and Qualify: Proactively research and vet high-potential opportunities to build a robust pipeline of priority accounts. Secure Business: Conduct introductory and follow-up sales calls to build relationships and win first-time and repeat business. Complete Sales Ownership: Manage the entire sales cycle, from developing pricing proposals and articulating value to closing the deal. Exceed Targets: Consistently surpass sales quotas through disciplined territory management and independent field activity.

Relationship & Account Leadership

Consultative Partnerships: Build enduring, long-term relationships by acting as a trusted, solutions-oriented partner. Internal Collaboration: Partner closely with design, quality, customer service, and plant leadership to ensure seamless execution for your clients. Business Performance: Contribute to working capital and cash flow objectives through proactive account management. Market Intelligence: Stay informed of competitive activity and market trends across the territory.

The Profile

We are seeking a professional who thrives on autonomy and possesses the resilience required to build a territory from the ground up.

Experience: Proven background in outside sales, preferably within the corrugated packaging, manufacturing, or industrial sectors. Independence: You must be comfortable running an independent territory with discipline, structure, and minimal day-to-day supervision. Technical Aptitude: Technical curiosity and the ability to understand complex packaging solutions are key to success in this role. Requirements: A valid driver's license and the ability to transport and handle product samples are required. A college degree (ideally in packaging, graphics, or business) is preferred.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Limitless Earning Potential: Benefit from a compensation structure with an unlimited cap on commission-based earnings. Financial Security: We offer a multi-year guaranteed earning structure to support you as you establish your book of business. Supportive Leadership: Work for a transparent, metrics-driven manager who rewards high performance with autonomy and strong financial outcomes. Sustainable Growth: Join one of the country's fastest-growing packaging companies that is deeply committed to environmental stewardship.
