What do we do?

Our B2B Sales Team is responsible for developing and growing Exoticca's network of Travel Advisors and agency partners across North America. Through a combination of field sales, training, account activation and relationship management, the team helps Travel Advisors discover Exoticca, understand our product and ultimately grow their business with us.

What will you do?
The Sales Representative (B2B) is a field-based sales role focused on developing and growing Exoticca's Tier 2 and Tier 3 agency accounts (Silver & Bronze) within an assigned territory. This is a hands-on, execution-focused position with a strong emphasis on in-person agency visits, account activation and high-frequency market coverage.

You will work closely with the Business Development Managers and the broader B2B Sales Team to ensure that our Silver and Bronze accounts receive regular commercial attention, product education and support, helping them increase their engagement and bookings with Exoticca.

Your main responsibilities will include:
• Visit Travel Agencies regularly across the assigned territory, maintaining a consistent and high-frequency field presence.
• Manage and develop a portfolio primarily composed of Silver and Bronze account (Tier 2 & Tier 3) within Exoticca's Loyalty Program.
• Build strong relationships with Travel Advisors and agency teams, becoming their day-to-day commercial point of contact.
• Activate and grow existing accounts, helping Travel Advisors move from registration to first booking and from occasional to more frequent production.

• Work closely with Business Development Managers to identify accounts with significant growth potential that may require additional commercial support.
• Meet agreed activity and performance KPIs, including agency visits, account activation, booking activity and portfolio development.
