This
is a new business development position, otherwise known as outside sales. Our family
owned company continues to grow and has an opening for a Business Account
Executive that will be responsible for acquiring and supporting the marketing,
print & sign needs of business to business clients. If you are still
interested, make sure to read this entire listing.

of the activities of the position include qualifying leads, sales appointments,
proposal presentations and follow up. The ability to use technology including
computers, the internet, social media, and email are integral to the role. You
will be required to make phone calls to people you do not know, you must be
willing to call and call and call again. Seriously if you are not willing to
follow-up you should not apply.
