- Collaborate with our Outside Sales Team, Operations, and Warehouse departments to ensure exceptional customer experiences
- Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts through cross-selling, upselling, and promotional programs
- Deliver a level of service that keeps customers returning year after year
What Makes This Opportunity Different
- No cold calling
- Established customer base with long-term relationships
- Opportunity to become a recognized expert in specialty building materials
- A growth ladder for our specialty products with bonuses involved.
- Fourth-generation leadership committed to long-term growth and employee success
