• Build strong, trusted relationships with general managers, owners, and key decision-makers through consistent on-site presence.

• 2–5 years of sales experience - ideally in linen, uniform, foodservice, medical, or other route-based B2B industries.

• Proven record of success upselling, cross-selling, or expanding services within an existing customer base.

• Exceptional relationship-building and consultative selling skills.

• Strong communication and presentation abilities - comfortable in kitchens, offices, and boardrooms alike.

• Self-starter with a hunter's mindset and a passion for achieving measurable results.

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record.

• Proficiency with CRM systems, Microsoft Office, and route-management tools.

How You'll Be Measured
