What are the responsibilities and job description for the Logistics Sales Representative position at Reliable Transportation Solutions?
INSIDE SALES & SERVICE in the TRANSPORTATION / TRUCKING INDUSTRY (3PL)
Lebron and MJ. Tim Cook and Bill Gates. Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos. Who exactly is the best may be up for debate with these successful individuals, but when it comes to logistics, there’s only one GOAT, and that’s RTS. We may not have any trophies, technically, but we do hold the title of one of Cincinnati’s Top 5 Logistics Companies, and we’ve been named one of Cincinnati’s Top Workplaces for three years. But what exactly is the name of the game in logistics? It’s a fast-paced industry, one that requires a highly-motivated team to do the hard work of arranging transportation for lots of shipments, every day, so that shelves around the country can stay stocked with essential goods (like, say, toilet paper). If you’re ready to put in the work, and you’re looking for high earning potential and a chance to grow in your career, you could be one of our new MVPs (both on the sales floor and off, like in our office cornhole tournaments).
We are hiring driven Sales Account Executives for our Georgetown, Ohio (45121) office. We have a small team of great people we work hard to take care of (just like we try to take care of our customers and the carriers we work with). If that’s a purpose you can get behind, come #JointheTeam!
WHY CONSIDER WORKING AT RTS?
- We're a 2023 Cincinnati Enquirer Top Workplace!
- We’re a growing company in a rapidly-expanding industry (which means you can grow with us).
- We’re team-oriented with a spirit of “friendly competition” in the office, so we support everyone’s success about as much as we push one another in competition.
- We’re local! Look no further than our coney-eating contests and Bengals’ gear days to see our Cincy spirit.
- BUT, we have left our footprint (or rather, tire tracks) across the entire country with our great reputation.
- We have top-notch proprietary software IN-HOUSE to make your job easier and to impress your customers.
- We offer a 6-month training program with industry experts, followed by ongoing mentorship from leaders throughout the company.
- The owners will know your name and your favorite sports team (and where you stand on Lebron/MJ)
- Benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, 401K, discounted gym membership with the Beechmont Racquet and Fitness Club, and a cell phone stipend!
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
- Initiate, develop, and grow relationships with shippers and carriers in the 3PL world (extroverts, we’re looking at you)
- Be responsible for weekly results focused on business development objectives, account activity, and outbound calls
- When the book of business shows necessary support, you will lead and delegate operational functions to a Logistics Coordinator who will be assigned to help exclusively with your load board
- Strategize and communicate account goals and objectives to maximize account growth (and maximize the growth of your wallet!)
- Negotiate rates and contracts with customers, carriers, and other various parties
- Ensure customer and carrier satisfaction 24/7/365
WHAT SKILLS DO WE LOOK FOR?
- Strong communication and negotiation skills with the ability to problem-solve and find a solution in a timely manner
- The motivation and determination to succeed in a self-sufficient role where you are trusted to get the work done without being micromanaged
- Sales and/or 3PL experience is preferred, but some of our most successful Account Executives have come from restaurant, landscaping, or academic backgrounds, among others
- Eagerness to grow and develop personally, professionally, and financially
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU MAKE?
- Our commissioned sales reps earned $230K ON AVERAGE last year, no joke and no get-rich-quick schemes (maybe you could be flying to space à la Branson/Bezos in the coming decade).
- This job is hard. There is no sugarcoating it. This job can feel overwhelming, but the highly successful people at RTS do it because they truly believe in what they are selling, and they earn more money than they ever have in their life.
- This position can be 100% commission-based. So, if you’re the kind of person who’s willing to bet on yourself and buy all-in, you can literally change your family’s life forever. Talk about the GOAT of opportunities.
