• Maintain strong relationships with existing customers and identify opportunities to grow their business.
• Coordinate with warehouse, order processing, and internal teams to ensure orders are handled efficiently.
• Track customer activity, open opportunities, pricing, and follow-ups to keep the sales process organized.
• Help resolve customer issues and ensure sales representatives have the support they need to succeed.
• Serve as a central point of contact between the sales team and internal operations.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in sales, sales support, account management, or sales operations.
• Experience working closely with sales representatives and helping drive revenue.
• Excellent communication, organization, follow-up, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple accounts and sales opportunities simultaneously.
• Comfortable working with CRM systems, quotes, orders, and customer records.
• A proactive, commercially minded professional who understands how to help turn opportunities into sales.
• Wholesale, distribution, foodservice, or related industry experience is a plus.
