    JOB DESCRIPTION


    We’re looking for a driven, energetic Outside Sales Representative to develop new business throughout the North Dallas market. We provide regional parcel delivery and nationwide freight brokerage solutions to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and businesses throughout Texas and across the U.S. With approximately $31.5M in annual revenue, the company is investing heavily in expanding its sales organization and capturing additional market share.


    This is a true hunter role: Success comes from getting out into the field, building relationships face-to-face, consistently prospecting, and creating new opportunities through daily activity—not waiting for inbound leads.

    If you're competitive, self-motivated, enjoy meeting new people, and want uncapped earning potential inside a stable, growing company, this is an outstanding opportunity.


    POSITION OVERVIEW:


    This individual will own the North Dallas territory, developing new business across manufacturers, distributors, logistics companies, retailers, and other businesses with ongoing shipping needs.


    Monday mornings are typically spent at the Arlington office planning the week, updating CRM, and scheduling appointments. The remainder of the week is spent in the field visiting prospects, conducting customer meetings, and developing new business.


    Success in this position comes from consistent prospecting activity, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to sell value instead of competing solely on price.

    • Maintain accurate CRM records using HubSpot (or similar CRM experience)
    • Manage follow-up activities and sales pipeline
    • Consistently achieve activity metrics and revenue goals
    • Collaborate with operations to ensure an outstanding customer experience


    SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE

    Within the first 12 months, successful representatives will:

    • Build a strong pipeline within the assigned territory
    • Achieve approximately $1M in annual revenue production
    • Consistently meet prospecting and customer meeting expectations
    • Develop long-term customer relationships
