Job Description
Job DescriptionSales Representative – Packaging Solutions
Location: Oak Brook, IL (Hybrid or Remote)
Compensation: $65,000 – $85,000 base + uncapped commission
Total Compensation: $100K+ realistically achievable in year one
Why This Role Stands Out
- Unlimited earning potential — no commission caps
- 100% employer-paid health insurance
- Work directly with ownership — be their right-hand person in building and expanding the business
- Car reimbursement, plus company-paid phone, laptop, and CRM access
- Hybrid or fully remote flexibility (preference for candidates based near Oak Brook or greater Chicagoland)
- Join a fast-moving, supportive team with long-term stability and a clear path to impact
Responsibilities
- Aggressively pursue new customer acquisition, consistently prospecting and identifying new sales leads within the manufacturing and distribution sectors
- Sell packaging materials and pallets to manufacturing clients throughout the Chicago area, building strong customer relationships based on trust and reliability
- Manage the entire sales cycle — from lead generation, quoting, and closing, to post-sale support and long-term relationship management
- Develop and implement targeted outreach strategies to engage potential clients through cold calls, emails, networking, and trade events
- Maintain detailed customer records, track activity, and manage your pipeline using CRM and related tools
- Collaborate with internal teams to ensure on-time delivery, accurate order fulfillment, and excellent customer service
- Provide input on product needs, market trends, and pricing strategy to help drive long-term business growth
- Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue goals, while continuously refining your approach to improve close rates
- Represent the company professionally in the field; travel locally to customer sites as needed
- Act as a trusted partner to ownership, supporting the overall business strategy and helping shape the future of the sales function
Requirements
- BS, BA, AAS, or an equivalent of 5+ years of related packaging industry experience is required
- 5+ years of successful B2B sales experience in packaging, or related industrial supply industries
- Proven track record selling into manufacturing, warehousing, or distribution environments
- Self-starter with the ability to work independently, manage your own pipeline, and follow through on deals
- Strong communication skills and ability to build long-term relationships with customers
- Experience with CRM systems
- Local to the Oak Brook/Chicagoland area preferred, but remote considered for top-tier candidates
