Job Type:

Full-time About Us American Kal Enterprises, Inc. — doing business as Pro America Premium Tools — is a veteran-owned American hand tool manufacturer with roots going back to the 1950s and manufacturing facilities in Baldwin Park, CA and Emporium, PA. We're a GSA-contracted supplier (Multiple Award Schedule, SIN 333TOOL) and sell into both government and commercial channels, working with industrial distributors and building out new retail and private-label partnerships across the country. We're a lean, hands-on family business. That means the right person gets real ownership, direct mentorship from leadership, and the chance to shape how we grow — not a narrow lane in a big org chart. The Role We're hiring a salesperson and all-around assistant to help grow American Kal's client base and support the day-to-day of a busy small manufacturer. This is a relationship-first, get-it-done role: part account management, part new business development, part "whatever the day needs." What you'll do: Manage and grow relationships with our existing clients — distributors, government buyers, and commercial accounts — finding new ways to deepen and expand those partnerships Prospect and develop new client relationships across government, industrial, and retail/private-label channels Represent American Kal and Pro America Premium Tools with professionalism and hustle, whether on the phone, over email, or in person Support ownership directly with sales operations, quoting, follow-up, and the general blocking-and-tackling that keeps deals moving Learn our products, our customers, and our business inside and out Who you'll work with: Our President will personally train the right person on the tool industry, our product lines, and how we sell — no prior tool industry background is required if you bring the right drive and aptitude, though it's a strong plus. What We're Looking For Tool industry or tool-adjacent sales experience preferred (industrial supply, hardware, MRO, or similar) — but we're open to the right person from another field Existing relationships or contacts within the tool industry are a strong plus Tech-savvy and comfortable online — able to use the internet, email, LinkedIn, and other tools to research and source new leads and connect with prospective clients Aggressive and ambitious — genuinely motivated to win business and grow income through commission Creative — comfortable finding new angles into accounts and new markets, not just working a script Patient and coachable — willing to learn the trade from the ground up and stick with relationships that take time to develop Strong communicator, organized, and comfortable wearing multiple hats in a small-company environment Self-starter who takes ownership without needing constant direction Compensation & Growth $70,000 base salary plus commission, with real upside for someone who grows the book of business. This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow alongside the company and take on more responsibility over time.
