Sales Execution & Collaboration
-
Partner with operations and customer teams to ensure seamless onboarding
-
Maintain clear communication during implementation and issue resolution
-
Manage pipeline, forecasting, and account planning within CRM
-
Stay informed on market trends, competitive positioning, and customer needs
What Success Looks Like

Measurable growth in volume and gross profit across existing forwarder accounts
-
Consistent onboarding of new branches within current customers
-
Increased share-of-wallet through additional lanes and services
-
Closed-won new forwarder accounts that become active shippers

5+ years of B2B sales experience in logistics, transportation, or supply chain
-
Proven success in outbound prospecting and closing new business
-
Experience selling into freight forwarders or building forwarder relationships
-
Demonstrated ability to expand wallet-share within existing accounts
-
Strong discovery, presentation, and negotiation skills
-
Experience managing multi-stakeholder deals
