Grimco - a 150-year-old, $1.5 billion signage distributor - is looking for a sales professional to own and grow our Kansas City territory. You'll work with a customer base that has significant upside potential, selling mission-critical products (traffic signs, reflective sheeting, aluminum substrates) that many industries rely on to operate.

This flexible position starts with a strong inside sales presence before transitioning to outside territory management. We're looking for someone motivated to develop their outside sales skills while building customer relationships from our Liberty location.

Inside Sales & Customer Development
· Handle customer inquiries and proactively reach out to existing accounts (approximately 30 inbound and 30 outbound calls per day)
· Provide consultative sales support, matching customer requirements with technical product specifications
· Enter orders and track customer information in company systems (Order Power, CRM, Reporting Services)
· Build product expertise across Grimco's signage portfolio through hands-on customer interactions

Outside Sales & Territory Expansion
· Transition into field-based selling as you build confidence and territory knowledge
· Conduct face-to-face customer visits and prospect for new business throughout the Kansas City metro area
· Perform on-site needs assessments, product demonstrations, and sales presentations
· Drive personal vehicle to customer locations (mileage reimbursement provided – valid driver's license and current vehicle registration required)
· Travel includes local KC area visits and regional overnight travel to markets including Wichita, Iowa, Idaho, and Nebraska (estimated 15-30% of time once transitioned to outside sales)

Sales Goals & Performance
· Achieve weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets for volume, margin, and gross profit
· Own the complete sales process from prospecting through close and account development
· Collaborate with branch team members to share strategies, market insights, and best practices

· 0-3 years of Sales or Customer Service experience - restaurant/hospitality background (server, bartender) valued for customer service skills and grit

· Motivated self-starter who wants to learn outside sales and is comfortable with a hybrid role

· Strong interpersonal skills and ability to quickly build rapport with customers and suppliers

· Demonstrated grit and persistence - comfortable working hard to achieve goals

· Ability to take direction and make independent decisions in a fast-paced environment

· Willingness and ability to travel overnight to regional territories as needed
