Job Description

Who You Are
You don't need logistics experience—we'll teach you that. What we're looking for is someone who's competitive, resilient, and excited to build a career where your effort directly impacts your success.

Whether you're coming from sales, athletics, hospitality, retail, customer service, or another

Responsibilities
● Hunt and close new business while managing a portfolio of key accounts
● Prospect and qualify leads through cold calls, email outreach, and research platforms
(Google, ZoomInfo, etc.)
● Serve as the main point of contact for client escalations and high-stakes issues
● Conduct quarterly business reviews and strategic planning sessions with client executives
● Partner with internal teams to ensure flawless operational execution
● Coach and support junior team members as needed
● Track KPIs, monitor performance, and drive consistent results
● Deliver the “No Fail” service standard on every load

What You Bring to the Table
● Experience in sales, logistics, or account management (preferred but not required)
● A competitive spirit and relentless drive to hit goals
● Excellent communication skills—written and verbal
● Resilience, grit, and comfort working in a fast-paced environment
● Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
● Tech-savvy with experience in CRM tools, Google Workspace, and prospecting platforms
● Professionalism, reliability, and a service-first mindset

Expectations
● Make 60+ outbound calls daily (higher for junior-level AEs)
● Meet or exceed key performance goals including load count, gross profit, and CRM activity
● Demonstrate a “service-first” mindset by minimizing preventable issues
● Consistently operate with professionalism, reliability, and integrity

What You’ll Get in Return
● $24-$25 an hour for entry level candidates + uncapped commission potential
● Paid holidays and PTO after 90 days
● Health, dental, and vision insurance
● 401(k) retirement plan
