Sales Manager Sell Something Most Companies Use:
We're a family-owned corrugated box manufacturer in Metro Detroit, and we're adding to our sales team. Our plant runs the equipment to produce most any style of corrugated box and dunnage across a wide range of grades and flutes, which means when a customer brings you a packaging problem, you have a real shop and a real team behind you to solve it. This isn't a script-and-quota call center job. You'll own relationships. You'll walk into a customer's facility, understand what they're shipping, and come back with a solution, a sample, and a price. Then, together, we can keep that customer happy for years, making sure to provide them with the service that will keep them calling you and ordering from us. You'll start and end each day at our shop, take a company vehicle out to your accounts, and cover a territory spanning Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties and beyond. No mileage on your personal car, and no wondering where the day is going to start. You and the sales manager will plan your weeks ahead of time, mapping out territory and plotting prospective zones so that together we can continue to grow. If you're sharp, energetic, and you'd rather be out in the field than parked behind a desk all day, we should talk.
What You'll Do:
Manage a Metro Detroit territory, visit existing customers regularly to check in, solve problems, and keep accounts healthy Prospect and open new accounts to hit clearly defined growth metrics Learn our capabilities well enough to recommend the right box, grade, and flute for a customer's packaging project Coordinate samples, walk customers through pricing and payment terms, and communicate orders cleanly to our customer service team Troubleshoot issues before they become complaints. You are the customer's advocate inside our building Begin and end each day at our facility for account planning, order follow-up, and vehicle check-in
What You Need:
High school diploma or equivalent Valid driver's license and a clean driving record (a company vehicle is provided and returned daily) Strong verbal and written communication skills (you'll be emailing and often texting plant managers and buyers, not just talking to them) Sharp attention to detail Ability to read a tape measure and handle basic math confidently Computer literacy (email, spreadsheets, order entry) Professional business attire and a professional presence with customers Preferred, not required: Prior sales, account management, or B2B customer-facing experience Any exposure to packaging, manufacturing, printing, or industrial distribution We provide on-the-job training on the corrugated side. We can teach you flutes, grades, and box styles. We can't teach work ethic — bring that with you.
What We Offer:
Competitive base salary plus commission on the growth you drive. You'll inherit a book of existing accounts and earn on what you build beyond it Company vehicle provided (no wear and tear on your own car) Paid time off Health, dental, and vision insurance 401(k) with employer match Hands-on training and mentorship from an experienced team A stable, family-owned company that's growing. We aren't a revolving door. We are a foothold in a relevant industry, selling a product used by most businesses and handled by every consumer.
Who Does Well Here:
The people who succeed on our team are organized, curious, and genuinely enjoy solving problems for customers. They follow up when they say they will. They notice details other people miss. And they take pride in the fact that a customer's shipment arrives intact because they got the spec right. Ready to Apply? Apply through this listing.
