Job Description
About Us The Plant Group is a premier wholesale nursery based in North Franklin, Connecticut. We grow and ship high-quality perennials to independent garden centers and retail accounts throughout New England. We respect the independence of our sales force and are looking for a dedicated rep to partner with us in growing this established, lucrative territory. About the Role We are seeking an established Independent Sales Representative (1099) to take over management of an active, high-performing book of wholesale accounts valued at approximately $1M in current volume . This territory covers Southeast MA and Rhode Island. You will be taking over an established base of customers from a long-term rep who is preparing for retirement in August 2027. For a rep who successfully manages and grows this initial $1M book of business, there is strong potential to inherit additional major core accounts as the retiring rep fully transitions out of the business. This is a commission-only position offering a highly competitive industry percentage. We do not require total company exclusivity; this line is ideal for a rep who already services independent garden centers in this geography with complementary lines (e.g., annuals or woody ornamentals). However, product-line exclusivity is required—the selected representative may not represent competing perennial growers.
