What are the responsibilities and job description for the Entry Level Sales Associate position at Apex Placement & Consulting?
Are You Outgoing, Personable, and Great With People?
Apex Placement & Consulting has partnered with an established print production company seeking an enthusiastic and relationship-driven Entry-Level Account Manager to join their team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is confident, outgoing, motivated, and interested in building a career in sales and account management. You do not need extensive sales or print industry experience. The company is willing to teach you the print business and provide the training needed to be successful. What matters most is personality and the ability to build genuine relationships with customers.
What You'll Do
- Manage and maintain relationships with an established customer base
- Serve as a primary point of contact for assigned customers
- Learn the company's print production processes, products, and services
- Communicate with customers to understand their needs and provide solutions
- Work closely with internal teams to ensure customer projects are completed successfully
- Help retain and grow existing customer relationships
- Attend networking events, industry functions, and customer meetings
- Develop new relationships and identify opportunities for additional business
- Follow up with customers and maintain consistent communication
- Become a knowledgeable and trusted resource for your customers
We're Looking for Someone Who Is:
- Outgoing and naturally personable
- Comfortable talking to new people and building relationships
- Confident communicating in person, by phone, and through email
- Someone who genuinely enjoys networking and meeting new people
- Motivated to learn and grow within a sales/account management career
- Organized and able to manage multiple customer relationships
- Professional, positive, and enthusiastic
- A strong listener who understands the importance of customer service
- Comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone
- A self-starter who doesn't need to be constantly directed
Experience & Education
- Bachelor's degree preferred, but not required
- Recent college graduates are encouraged to apply
- Sales experience is helpful but not required
- Customer service, hospitality, recruiting, retail, marketing, or other relationship-focused experience is a plus
- Print industry experience is not required — we will teach you!
Why This Opportunity?
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who knows they want to work in a people-focused sales environment but doesn't necessarily have years of sales experience yet.
You'll have the opportunity to learn an established industry, develop your sales and account management skills, build long-term customer relationships, and grow with a company that is willing to invest in the right person.
If you're the type of person who can walk into a room full of people you've never met and actually enjoy introducing yourself, starting conversations, and building connections, we'd love to meet you!
