Note to Recruitment Agencies

Role Purpose

The Territory Manager owns the full commercial performance of an assigned territory with a clear dual mandate: hunt for new business, service what you've built. This role is accountable for generating net-new revenue while retaining and deepening the existing customer base through high daily activity and disciplined territory management.

This is not a coverage role. It is a business ownership role with clear accountability for revenue growth, margin discipline, and brand integrity — executed through consistent daily outreach, structured field activity, and hands-on account servicing.

This role requires comfort making independent commercial decisions with material revenue impact, including building pipeline, activating distributor and broker relationships, and ensuring consistent sell-through — not just sell-in.

What You'll Do

• Own the full commercial performance of an assigned territory, treating it as your business

• Execute a high-volume daily activity standard — including a minimum of 30 outbound calls per day and in-person visits scaled to territory opportunity

• Prospect, engage, and open net-new accounts across varied market structures, including convenience stores and independent retail

• Service and grow the existing customer base through regular touchpoints, structured follow-through, and proactive relationship management

• Develop, align, and hold distributors and brokers accountable to defined performance standards and growth targets

• Translate distributor relationships into measurable activation, penetration, and reorder performance

• Expand share of wallet, product penetration, and strategic depth within current accounts

• Identify competitive risks, churn signals, and whitespace opportunities early

• Execute structured territory plans that balance revenue growth, travel efficiency, and margin discipline

• Maintain rigorous CRM discipline, forecasting accuracy, and pipeline visibility

• Represent Diversified Botanics consistently and professionally across all interactions

• Independently manage travel planning and prioritization based on growth opportunity

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Come from a high-activity sales environment — car sales, cell phone/wireless, DSD, or route-based sales — where volume, urgency, and leading with value are daily habits

• Are energized by opening new doors and thrive on consistent prospecting activity

• Understand the convenience store channel and can work across buyers, category managers, and store-level execution

• Take as much pride in servicing existing accounts as you do in closing new ones

• Are comfortable managing distributor performance and indirect channels

• Convert sell-in into sustained sell-through performance

• Use data to allocate time and travel efficiently

• Operate autonomously without sacrificing forecast precision

You May Struggle Here If You

• Prefer low-volume, relationship-only selling with minimal outbound activity

• Avoid structured daily prospecting and cold outreach

• Underinvest in account servicing or distributor alignment

• Rely on informal follow-up rather than structured activation

• Resist ownership of forecast accuracy and pipeline discipline

• Prefer transactional selling over disciplined territory ownership

What You Bring

• 5 years of outside B2B sales experience — backgrounds in car sales, wireless/cell phone retail, DSD, or route-based sales strongly valued

• Demonstrated success generating net-new revenue while retaining and growing existing accounts

• Proven ability to sustain 30 daily outbound calls alongside consistent field activity

• Experience working the convenience store channel preferred

• Experience working with distributors, brokers, or indirect channels

• Strong commercial judgment, negotiation discipline, and deal hygiene

• Comfort operating with autonomy, accountability, and clear performance expectations

• Alignment with our operating values: integrity, ownership, evidence, accountability, and velocity

Minimum Qualifications

• Proven success generating new business and expanding B2B accounts

• Demonstrated ability to maintain high daily outbound call activity (30 calls/day) alongside in-person field visits

• Experience independently managing territory coverage and travel strategy

• Strong communication, forecasting accuracy, and CRM discipline

Preferred Qualifications

• Convenience store or independent retail channel experience

• Distributor or broker management experience

• Background in car sales, wireless/cell phone, DSD, or route-based sales

• Experience expanding territories through new applications or channel development

• Background in regulated, technical, or compliance-driven markets
