- Base salary range: $120,000–$125,000 (DOE), plus realistic $30,000–$40,000 annual commission (total earnings: $150,000–$160,000+)
- Commission structure: 25% paid at award, 75% on production—enabling fast earning potential, especially with takeover business
- Full employee benefits package (401K, health, annual bonus eligibility tied to company performance)
- Immediate, ready-made pipeline and a collaborative team of approx. 10–11 professionals
What You'll Bring:
- Minimum 5 years experience in plastics/injection molding sales or account management (automotive, lawn/garden, industrial, renewable, or medical markets strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to manage and grow major accounts while driving substantial new business
- Technical proficiency to converse with engineers, review cost breakdowns, and oversee the sales process independently
- Highly self-driven, results-oriented, and comfortable working in a remote set-up
