BRIEF POSITION SUMMARY:

The MSC Seller is responsible for supporting sales growth through relationship-building, account development, and hands-on learning across the sales organization. Upon onboarding, this role does not carry an assigned sales territory or portfolio. Instead, the MSC Seller shadows experienced sellers, supports accounts that are not assigned to an active sales deck, and develops foundational selling, account management, and product knowledge. Through collaboration and guided execution, the MSC Seller contributes to cross-sell and upsell activities, assists with new account acquisition, and helps deepen product penetration—while delivering on-site service and high-quality customer support as needed. Once a defined sales territory and portfolio are assigned, the individual will transition into a fully aligned MSC Seller role with full ownership of account management responsibilities, including revenue growth, customer retention, and sustainable portfolio performance.
