About the role:
As an Outside Sales Executive Trainee for TQL, you'll be paired with an experienced salesperson for 6 months, learning to master the art of closing new business. Working alongside our full-truck-load division, you will become an expert in your assigned mode of transportation. You'll close the business by making warm calls, visiting customers, and hopping on conference calls with the customer owner to maximize revenue growth. If you're a decisive problem-solver and have the drive for financial freedom, this is the sales career for you. We invest in our people and our technology while delivering the best customer service in the fast-paced logistics industry. We're urgently hiring: Ready to get started?
What's in it for you:
- $40,000 base salary with uncapped commission
- 26-week paid training provided
- Health, Dental and Vision coverage to best fit your needs, including a plan that takes $0 out of your paycheck + 401(k) with company match
- Work for an industry-leading company with 25+ years in business and 9,000+ employees
- Career advancement opportunities -- 75% of our sales managers promoted from within
- Learn from TQL sales executives and other successful account representatives
- Experience the award-winning culture of a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For (2023) and Forbes America's Best Employers (2022)
What you'll be doing:
- Learning from a successful mentor the first 6 months to set you up for success
- Work with full-truck-load sales executives to develop relationships and strategize to close new and existing customers to move their freight
- Travel as needed to visit customers and land their business
- Make calls to establish a pipeline and build your book of successful closes
- Provide honest and proactive communications -- internally and externally
- Learn and master a type of transportation that isn't full-truck-load, becoming the go to expert in the office to meet our customer's needs
What you need:
- College degree preferred, but no degree required
- Available to work full-time, 100% in-office
- Available to travel up to 25%
- Determination to work harder than anyone
- Strong negotiation skills with the professionalism to handle conflict
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for exceptional customer service
- Ability to work with the latest supply chain & logistics technologies
