ABOUT US

S&S Activewear is a leading North American, tech enabled specialty distributor of imprintable apparel, including t shirts, fleece, athletic wear, headwear, workwear, scrubs and accessories. We pride ourselves on being the “critical link” that enables our 100+ brand partners such as Adidas, Columbia and Gildan to reach our hyper fragmented base of customers, comprised of apparel decorators, eRetailers and promotional products distributors that embellish apparel items for diverse end consumer use cases (e.g., everyday wear, concerts, fitness attire, life events, team sports, etc.). At S&S, we differentiate in the market through a customer service focus, strategic product portfolio, world class distribution infrastructure, a collaborative growth culture and a relentless focus on technology and innovation.

Our success has compounded since the Company’s humble beginnings in 1988 as a regional t shirt distributor to a leading, multibillion dollar value-added distribution platform that drives market penetration for our suppliers while enabling growth, operations and fulfillment for a diverse range of customers across channels and business sizes.

Today, we continue to strive to be the apparel distributor of choice by inspiring and fostering growth for customers, employees and suppliers, anchored in our commitment to Lead with Respect, Never Settle, Own the Outcome, Win Together, and the belief that Innovation Powers Our Hustle . These values guide how we serve, how we collaborate and how we continuously improve, ensuring we deliver on our promise of service, deep relationships, innovation, continuous improvement and accountability.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role of the Business Development Representative is to make relevant, sincere, and quality outbound calls to a defined group of customers providing information regarding our products and services to drive engagement and ultimately purchase. This role will focus heavily on mining, vetting, and developing accounts from the current 100,000+ unassigned S&S customers, as well as potential future customers. Ultimately, this role is responsible for driving revenue opportunities across this underpenetrated customer base within a Region and then passing off these quality leads to the appropriate geographic Zone Director for embedding into a current Inside or Outside territory within that geography. Qualified candidates must possess excellent interpersonal communication and presentation skills, be comfortable interacting by phone, email, and text channels with decision-makers and business owners and have a demonstrated ability to analyze data to identify business development opportunities. Candidates should also demonstrate strong analytical thinking skills, a positive, upbeat attitude and a commitment to success.
