  • Demonstrate a proactive approach, anticipating customer needs and presenting solutions before challenges arise.
  • Maintain a strategic, long-term account management mindset focused on multi-year growth, customer retention, and expanding share-of-wallet.
  • Balance hunter and farmer behaviors-actively pursuing new opportunities while nurturing existing accounts to maximize value.
  • Manage a defined sales "bag," understanding current spend levels and developing plans to grow revenue within existing accounts.
  • Apply value-based, margin-conscious selling, identifying opportunities to improve profitability through differentiation and creative solutions.
  • Use strong discovery techniques to ask the right questions, listen deeply, and uncover operational pain points, future needs, and innovation opportunities.
  • Maintain strong sales discipline with consistent prospecting, follow-up, and pipeline development.
Business Development & Client Management
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with new and existing clients, ensuring satisfaction and long-term partnerships.
  • Identify and engage new prospects through networking, referrals, industry events, and outbound outreach.
  • Grow territory or account revenue through planned, targeted sales activity that aligns with Inovar's commercial goals.
Consultative Selling & Product Expertise
  • Assess customer needs and recommend tailored packaging solutions that enhance product performance and brand impact.
  • Provide clients with detailed knowledge of label materials, printing technologies, adhesives, and application processes.
  • Guide purchasing decisions through education, discovery, and solution-driven consultation.
Sales Strategy, Execution & Internal Collaboration
  • Develop and implement sales strategies focused on target segments within labels and flexible packaging.
  • Prepare quotes, credit terms, bid specifications, and proposals; negotiate pricing and agreements to close profitable deals.
  • Partner with internal teams-including purchasing, production, quality, and logistics-to ensure on-time delivery and flawless execution.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline updates, and sales activity tracking.
Market Awareness & Leadership
  • Stay current on industry trends, materials, technologies, competitor capabilities, and sustainability initiatives.
  • Position Inovar as a trusted, forward-thinking partner by bringing insights, innovation, and solutions to customers.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Passion for customer service, creative problem-solving, and proactive account development.
  • 3+ years of direct sales experience in pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves, roll-fed labels, flexible packaging, reclosure, or lidding solutions.
  • Deep knowledge of printing technologies, substrates, adhesives, and application methods.
  • Proven success in growing revenue, increasing wallet share, and achieving sales targets.
  • Strong ability to build relationships with brand owners, converters, and manufacturers.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
  • Familiarity with packaging regulations, compliance standards, and sustainability trends.
  • Proficiency in CRM tools and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Packaging Engineering, or related field.
