Your Best Career Experience
Horizons is looking for persuaders and influencers to drive sales of our unique, innovative, and growth orientated product lines! If you have a natural ability to cultivate relationships, grow networks, and nurture leads we’d love for you to join us in an Inside Sales position.
Your Best Career Experience Responsibilities
Inside Sales plays a foundational role of the company’s success which is why we’re looking for people who can support our sales initiatives with energy and proficiency. You’ll be responsible for representing Horizons’ products and services to designers within an assigned account base with the objective to generate meaningful and substantial sales growth.
Working in Inside Sales, you’ll become a product and install specialist, setting you on a path for professional growth and career advancement with Horizons!
Here’s a bit more of what you can expect your time to look like:
- Account Maintenance and Sales: Along with seeking out new opportunities to gain market share, you’ll also develop long-term designer relationships and present solutions through the Horizons line of products and services to generate incremental sales volume. While designer contact is made primarily through telephone interaction, you’ll also facilitate in-person meetings quarterly at both workroom location and designer offices.
- Account Administration: You’ll maintain dealer programs for discounts, sample, and display costs with all sales contacts, consistently gather and report information relating to competitor activity, enter call detail in sales reporting program each day, and communicate designer status updates.
- Training Support and Administration: Not only will you solicit training needs but you’ll also provide sales training as an on-going element of the vendor-dealer relationship.
