Ever heard of how Americans can enjoy flowers because of a unique industry based in Miami? Here is your opportunity to be a part of a team dedicated to making flowers a part of everyday life.

Join Continental Flowers as a Mass Market Account Operations Coordinator / Sales Trainee. Learn all about flowers, the trends that define them, and the vibrant national marketplace. You will build relationships with your assigned clients across the United States and learn how to best offer them our products. This is a B2B, repeat sales position where you support the Mass Market Sales Teams.

Your clients are located outside of South Florida, and you will communicate with them via telephone, email, messenger, and other web platforms, so excellent written and oral skills are a must. There is no walk-in business. Flowers are a highly perishable item, requiring them to be sold within a few days of having arrived. Therefore, a successful candidate is an alert, fast moving, and dynamic worker.

Every day will be an opportunity for you to innovate and improve. You will learn the ins-and-outs of the accounts we serve, and learn the fundamentals of our Mass Market Sales Operations. The candidate for this role will grow into a Mass Market Account Manager with their own accounts to serve and higher earning potential.

You will have opportunities to travel to clients and attend trade shows. An Account Manager must be professional and have great presentation skills in order to participate in these opportunities. Account Managers also will need to be able to socialize and network with clients and/or prospective clients at industry functions.

Required skills & qualities to be successful are: friendly and talkative, organized, solid computer literacy, negotiation habits, and most importantly, the ability to listen, learn, and follow up with clients. A college degree and prior sales experience is a plus. You will be trained on relationship management and sales techniques specific to the industry, to set you up for success.

The role is based out of the company’s office in Doral, conveniently located closed to the Palmetto & Dolphin Expressways. The hours are Monday-Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm.

Founded in 1974, Continental Flowers is a pioneer in the Miami floral industry, relentlessly seeking to improve America's access to fresh cut flowers. This mission drives the company to constantly innovate in developing best-in-class growing techniques and rapid cold-chain distribution. Headquarters and distribution facilities are located in Miami, FL. Proprietary and partner farms are located across South America in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
