National Sales Representative

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a growing, well-established organization that partners with distributors across North America to deliver essential products into a wide range of industries. This role offers a unique opportunity to own new business development at a national level while being supported by a strong internal operations and customer service team.

If you’re a true hunter who thrives on winning new accounts and outperforming competitors, this is a high-upside role with strong earning potential and autonomy.

About the Role

We are seeking a National Accounts Sales Representative to focus on developing new distributor partnerships and expanding existing relationships. This is a highly outbound, new business-focused role with national reach.

You will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and converting distributor accounts—often displacing incumbent vendors—while working closely with internal teams who support post-sale account management.

This is not a maintenance or account management role. Success in this position is driven by activity, persistence, and the ability to close new business.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identify and target new distributor partners across the U.S.
• Proactively prospect through cold calling, outbound outreach, and lead generation tools
• Navigate complex organizations to connect with key decision-makers and influencers
• Develop and present compelling value propositions to win new business from competitors
• Build and manage a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities
• Drive the full sales cycle from initial outreach through close
• Collaborate with internal customer service and operations teams to ensure a smooth handoff after the sale
• Conduct occasional in-person meetings and travel to key accounts as needed
• Continuously evaluate account potential and prioritize high-value opportunities

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently generating new accounts and revenue growth
• Maintaining a high level of outbound activity and pipeline discipline
• Effectively converting prospects from existing vendors
• Managing time efficiently with a strong focus on revenue-generating activities
• Demonstrating strong closing ability and competitive drive

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of B2B sales experience, with a strong focus on new business development
• Proven success in a hunter-style sales role (high outbound activity, cold calling, prospecting)
• Experience selling into distributors, channel partners, or similar environments is highly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to win business from competitors
• Strong communication, objection handling, and closing skills
• Highly self-motivated with excellent time management
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment

What We’re NOT Looking For

• Account managers focused primarily on relationship maintenance
• Low-activity or inbound-only sales backgrounds
• Candidates who prefer servicing existing business over generating new opportunities

Compensation & Details

• Base Salary: $90,000 – $120,000
• On-Target Earnings: $150,000 – $180,000+
• Travel: Approximately 40–50% (national)
• Location: Must be based in Western Washington (greater Seattle area)
