Outside Sales Executive - Entry Level

About the role:

As an Outside Sales Executive Trainee for TQL, you'll be paired with an experienced salesperson for 6 months, learning to master the art of closing new business. Working alongside our full-truck-load division, you will become an expert in your assigned mode of transportation. You'll close the business by making warm calls, visiting customers, and hopping on conference calls with the customer owner to maximize revenue growth. If you're a decisive problem-solver and have the drive for financial freedom, this is the sales career for you. We invest in our people and our technology while delivering the best customer service in the fast-paced logistics industry. We're urgently hiring: Ready to get started?
