• 3+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally in freight forwarding, third-party logistics (3PL), transportation, or supply chain services.

• Experience selling across multiple freight modes or service lines (e.g., LTL, truckload, air, ocean, brokerage) is a plus.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Logistics, Supply Chain, or related field, preferred.

• Demonstrated success as a hunter, with a track record of winning new business and exceeding sales targets.

• Experience managing accounts post-sale, with a track record of building strong customer relationships.

• Comfortable using CRM tools to track activities and report progress, Hubspot experience is a plus.

• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.

• Self-motivated with strong time-management and prioritization skills; able to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams.

This role combines fieldwork (customer visits, prospecting, networking) with office-based or remote selling activity, depending on location. Regular local travel is expected, with occasional regional travel for customer meetings, trade shows, or company events.
