Open to emerging and experienced sales professionals. This position is in-person in our Lenexa, KS Design Center.
The Opportunity
E3 XPS is a full-service national Exhibit, Event, and Environment company headquartered in Kansas City, creating outstanding face-to-face marketing experiences for clients across the country. We’re entering our next phase of growth and investing in talent, capabilities, and infrastructure to accelerate it — including our new 130,000-square-foot Design Center.
This is a full-cycle sales role for someone who wants to build a book of business they can own and grow over time. You’ll develop new client relationships from the ground up, lead the sales process from prospecting through close, and continue managing and expanding those relationships as their business with E3 grows.

If you’re energized by building lasting client relationships, a repeatable book of business, and creating significant long-term earning potential, this role was built for you.
