What is an optical sales rep?

Optical Sales Reps are professionals who sell eyewear products, such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, and optical accessories, to optometrists, ophthalmologists, and retail optical stores. They are responsible for building relationships with clients, demonstrating product features, and meeting sales targets within a designated territory. Optical Sales Reps also stay informed about new products and industry trends to effectively promote and educate customers about the latest eyewear solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an optical sales rep?

To thrive as an Optical Sales Rep, you need a solid understanding of eyewear products, vision care basics, and sales principles, often supported by prior retail or optical experience. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems, inventory management software, and sometimes certification like ABO (American Board of Opticianry) is beneficial. Strong interpersonal skills, active listening, and persuasive communication help build rapport with customers and drive sales. These qualifications ensure you can effectively educate clients, recommend suitable products, and contribute to the store’s success.

What are some typical challenges optical sales reps face when balancing sales targets with customer service?

Optical Sales Reps often need to strike a balance between meeting sales quotas and providing genuine, personalized service to customers. A common challenge is ensuring that customers receive products suited to their needs, rather than being pressured into unnecessary upgrades or add-ons. Navigating this balance requires strong product knowledge, active listening skills, and the ability to build trust with clients. Additionally, Optical Sales Reps frequently collaborate with optometrists and other team members to ensure seamless service, which can require effective communication and coordination.

What is the difference between Optical Sales Rep vs Optical Technician?

AspectOptical Sales RepOptical Technician
CredentialsHigh school diploma; sales experience often preferredCertification or associate degree in optical technology
Work EnvironmentRetail stores, optical centers, sales officesOptical labs, clinics, eyewear manufacturing
Employer & IndustryOptical retail chains, independent optical shopsOptical labs, healthcare facilities, eyewear manufacturers
Primary FocusSelling eyewear and lenses, customer serviceFitting, adjusting, and repairing eyewear, lens processing

While both roles are integral to the optical industry, Optical Sales Reps focus on selling eyewear and providing customer service, often working in retail environments. Optical Technicians specialize in lens fitting, adjustments, and manufacturing processes. Understanding these differences helps job seekers identify the right career path within the optical field.

Job description

About Sesame

Sesame believes in a future where computers are lifelike - with the ability to see, hear, and collaborate with us in ways that feel natural and human. With this vision, we're designing a new kind of computer, focused on making voice agents part of our daily lives. Our team brings together founders from Oculus and Ubiquity6, alongside proven leaders from Meta, Google, and Apple, with deep expertise spanning hardware and software. Join us in shaping a future where computers truly come alive.

About the Role

Sesame is seeking an Optical Sales Leader to help establish and scale our optical distribution strategy.

This role requires a unique combination of relationship-building, strategic account development, and sales leadership. In the early stages, success will not be measured primarily by door count, but by securing placements within the most influential optical accounts in the industry. The ideal candidate understands that the first 20–30 accounts can create disproportionate market signals and accelerate adoption across hundreds of additional retailers.

Working closely with Sesame leadership, this individual will help identify and secure foundational accounts, lead strategic relationships from introduction through launch, and build the commercial playbook that will support future expansion.

As the business grows, the role will evolve into building and leading a scalable national optical sales organization.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute Sesame's optical channel strategy.
  • Identify and secure high-signal optical accounts that establish credibility for the brand.
  • Partner with Sesame leadership on strategic account acquisition.
  • Lead retailer relationships from introduction through launch and growth.
  • Develop account prioritization and territory strategies.
  • Recruit, onboard, and manage sales representatives as the distribution scales.
  • Build forecasting, reporting, and sales processes.
  • Represent Sesame throughout the optical industry.
Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years of optical, eyewear, luxury wholesale, or related channel sales experience.
  • Deep understanding of the independent optical landscape.
  • Proven ability to cultivate and grow strategic retail relationships.
  • Experience opening new accounts and launching new products or brands.
  • Strong commercial judgment and account prioritization skills.
  • Experience recruiting and leading sales teams.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Existing relationships with influential independent optical retailers.
  • Experience helping scale an emerging premium brand.
  • Experience building sales organizations from early stages.
  • Background in luxury, design-driven, or premium consumer products

This is not a traditional sales leadership role. The ideal candidate understands how premium brands are established in optical: first through influence and credibility, then through distribution scale. Success will come from identifying and winning the right early accounts before building the organization that expands globally.

Sesame is committed to a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. We welcome all qualified applicants, embracing diversity in race, gender, identity, orientation, ability, and more. We provide reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities. Contact careers@sesame.com for assistance.

Full-time Employee Benefits
  • 401(k) max employer match: 3.5% of compensation
  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental benefits for you and your dependents
  • Unlimited PTO and sick time
  • Flexible spending account with employer matching up to $1,650/year (medical FSA)
  • Guardian Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Opportunity to share in the company's success with competitive stock options

Benefits do not apply to contingent/contract workers.
