• Host scheduled consultations with accounts seeking one-on-one guidance, delivering personalized solutions that match their business goals.
• Act as a trusted advisor — understanding account buying history, seasonal needs, and market opportunities to suggest curated assortments.
• Share new product launches, promotions, and trends in a way that excites customers and drives measurable results.
• Provide training or guidance on PBK tools and resources (website, digital catalogs, ordering systems) so accounts can maximize efficiency
• Collaborate with internal teams across Customer Service, Marketing, Product Development, and Operations to createa seamlesscustomer experience.
• Collaborate on promotional strategies or seasonal initiatives to help accounts succeed
• Keep accurate records of account activity and consultation notes to track progress, opportunities, and growth.

Who You Are

• 3 years of experience in inside sales, territory management, or related B2B role – wholesale industry experience preferred. 

• A relationship-builder at heart with proven success in account management and consultative selling.
• Excellent communicator — you know how to connect overphone, video, or email and leavea lasting impression.
• Highly organized and able to juggle multiple accounts, consultations, and projects without missing a beat.
• Comfortable analyzing customer data and using insights to inform recommendations.
• Passionate about the wholesale gift and home décor industry — you stay on top of trends, understand what drives retail success, and love helping accounts grow.
• Flexible enough to travel occasionally for trade shows or key customer needs.
