About Blest Art

For more than two decades, Blest Art has worked with Catholic and Christian churches throughout the United States to support Christian families and artisans in the Holy Land through the sale of handcrafted olive wood religious art.

Our representatives travel to churches and parish communities across the country, sharing the story and mission behind these handcrafted works while building lasting relationships with clergy, church leadership, and parish communities.

We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated, trustworthy, and results-driven Regional Sales Manager to join our leadership team.

About the Position

This is a hands-on sales and management position that combines leadership, relationship development, sales, travel, and event management.

This is not a traditional Monday–Friday office position.

Many of Blest Art's church events take place on Saturdays and Sundays. The Regional Sales Manager must therefore be willing and able to work weekends and travel frequently, including overnight travel.

The successful candidate will oversee assigned territories, manage and support team members, develop relationships with churches, coordinate events, monitor sales performance, and personally represent Blest Art at church events when required.

We are looking for someone who can lead people, sell, build relationships, solve problems, and take ownership of results.

Applicants must meet the following minimum requirements:

• Minimum of 5 years of professional sales experience
• Minimum of 5 years of management experience
• Demonstrated history of meeting or exceeding sales goals
• Experience managing employees, representatives, sales teams, or territories

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong relationship-building and interpersonal abilities
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple events, schedules, and priorities simultaneously
• Ability to work independently with limited supervision
• Willingness and ability to work regularly on weekends
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently, including overnight travel
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
• Comfortable driving for extended periods when necessary
• Comfortable communicating professionally with pastors, priests, clergy, church staff, and parish communities
• Ability to transport, set up, pack, and handle merchandise and display materials
• Ability to maintain accurate records and reports

Experience in outside sales, territory management, regional sales management, business development, church outreach, nonprofit organizations, fundraising, or other relationship-driven environments is highly desirable.

Familiarity with Catholic or Christian parish environments is an advantage.

The Regional Sales Manager will be responsible for:

• Managing and developing assigned sales territories
• Traveling to churches and parishes throughout assigned regions
• Working regularly on weekends when church events are scheduled
• Representing Blest Art professionally at church and parish events

• Following up with churches before and after scheduled visits
• Maintaining accurate sales, activity, and territory records
• Providing regular reports to Blest Art leadership
• Identifying new opportunities for regional growth
• Resolving problems quickly and professionally
• Protecting and maintaining Blest Art's professional reputation
• Working closely with Blest Art leadership and the Omaha office

Compensation

Base Salary: $60,000 per year

Plus Performance-Based Bonuses

The bonus program rewards strong individual, team, and regional performance and provides successful managers with the opportunity to earn significantly above the base salary.

Approved business travel expenses will be handled according to Blest Art's company travel policy.

Professional Standards

Because the Regional Sales Manager represents Blest Art directly in churches and Christian communities throughout the country, professionalism, integrity, dependability, and good judgment are essential.

The successful candidate must be comfortable representing Blest Art professionally when interacting with clergy, church leadership, parish staff, parishioners, employees, and business partners.

Background Check & Employment Verification

Candidates must also provide professional references and authorize Blest Art to verify relevant employment history and qualifications.

• Current résumé
• Brief cover letter or professional introduction
• Two professional letters of recommendation from previous employers, supervisors, or managers
• At least three professional references, including names, positions, companies, telephone numbers, and email addresses
• Summary of relevant sales and management experience

Applicants must provide authorization for Blest Art to contact current and/or former employers and professional references for purposes of verifying employment history, positions held, job responsibilities, and professional qualifications.

Employment history, qualifications, and professional references provided by applicants may be independently verified by Blest Art as part of the hiring process.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an experienced leader who is comfortable being accountable for results.

The ideal candidate is:

A salesperson who knows how to manage people.
