Job Description - Account Manager - 61507357774


______________________________________________________________________


Role: Account Manager

Priority Location: South Africa and Latin America.

Working Hours: 9.30AM - 6.30 PM (CST) Mon - Fri

Salary Range: $1,500 - $2,000 USD per month (The final offer is at the client’s discretion and depends on the candidate’s interview result, skills, and experience.)

Type of contract: Independent Contractor 

Type of job: Remote


About the Company: 


My client is a US-based B2B promotional products supplier serving thousands of distributors across North America. They sell exclusively to the distributor channel — they don't compete with their customers, they help them win. They're known in the industry for reliability (98% on-time ship rate), proprietary product lines like Magic'TapTM NFC and UPHILLTM custom apparel, and a distributor-first model built around the success of our partners.


About The Role: 


The Account Manager owns the growth of a portfolio of US distributor accounts — driving new business, expanding existing accounts, and closing deals. You are paired with an Account Coordinator who handles quoting, order processing, proofs, and day-to-day transactional work. That means your time goes into selling, sourcing, negotiating, and growing — not paperwork. This is a quota role with real upside. Not customer service.


What You’ll Do:



  • Own a book of existing accounts; drive repeat business, upsell, and cross-sell

  • Retention — constant and periodic communication with your key accounts

  • Schedule and run customer meetings — call constantly, stay in touch, stay top-of-mind

  • Identify opportunities across our 2,000+ product catalog and proprietary lines

  • Work with sourcing and design teams on custom product requests

  • Handle objections, revisions, and pricing negotiations

  • Re-engage stalled opportunities and dormant accounts

  • Own the customer relationship end-to-end — you're the point of contact for escalations and account issues, not a hands-off manager

  • Partner closely with your Account Coordinator — they execute, you grow


What “Good” Looks Like:



  • You hit your weekly activity targets consistently, not in bursts

  • Your existing accounts are growing — not just maintained

  • Your pipeline is current; every opportunity has a next action with a date

  • You close, or you get a clear no — deals don't sit stuck

  • Your forecast is accurate; no month-end surprises


Required Qualifications & Skills:



  • Excellent spoken and written English (neutral accent strongly preferred)

  • Confident on the phone — this role is call-heavy

  • 3+ years in B2B sales, business development, or account management with proven closing track record

  • Ability to share concrete performance numbers (calls/day, quotes/week, closes/month, win rate, average order value)

  • Comfortable with quotas, KPIs, and CRM discipline

  • Tech-savvy: CRM systems, Microsoft tools, AI tools to work faster

  • Organized, accountable, and able to operate with minimal supervision


Strong Advantages:



  • B2B selling to US distributors or wholesalers

  • Experience working with quotes, margins, lead times, and production timelines


Not a Fit If:



  • You wait for accounts to come to you instead of proactively staying in touch and growing them

  • You rely only on email/messages and avoid the phone

  • You cannot share concrete performance numbers

  • Your background is only retail or customer service with no quota-closing proof


Compensation & Growth:



  • Competitive base + commission on invoiced sales

  • Uncapped earning potential

  • Clear growth path into senior sales and team lead roles as we scale

  • Account Coordinator paired with you so you focus on selling, not paperwork

  • We invest in tools and AI to make you faster, not to replace you

  • A direct, fast-moving team that respects your time


We treat Account Managers as the growth engine of the business. You get a Coordinator to handle execution, real tools to do the work, and the freedom to sell. We invest in the people who invest in us.
