About the Role

RDSolutions is looking for an experienced sales professional with deep knowledge of the CPG and retail ecosystem to help drive the next phase of our growth.

You will be responsible for building a significant pipeline of prospective partners, developing relationships with key decision-makers, identifying business challenges, and converting those opportunities into revenue.

We are looking for an individual who is excited to bring a disruptive approach to a long standing challenge of driving sales growth in retail-someone who can leverage their industry knowledge and relationships while introducing customers to a more innovative, technology-enabled approach to sales enablement and retail execution.

This is an opportunity to join a growing organization, build a substantial book of new business, and play a meaningful role in expanding a disruptive solution across the retail ecosystem.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Own a revenue target and be accountable for consistently achieving and exceeding sales goals.
• Leverage your existing industry knowledge and relationships to open doors and accelerate sales cycles.
• Develop new relationships with CPG brands, retailers, wholesalers, brokers, and other organizations across the retail ecosystem.
• Prospect strategically through existing relationships, referrals, networking, industry events, targeted outreach, and other channels.
• Engage senior decision-makers to understand their business challenges and identify opportunities where RDSolutions can create measurable value through a strategic sales approach.
• Develop compelling customer-specific solutions leveraging our data, technology, analytics, SaaS, and field capabilities.
• Lead sales opportunities from initial prospecting and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close.
• Partner with senior sales leadership and internal subject-matter experts on complex opportunities and strategic accounts.
• Maintain a disciplined sales process, accurate pipeline, and reliable forecast.
• Continuously identify new markets, customer segments, and applications for RDSolutions' solutions.
• Bring customer and market feedback back into the organization to help strengthen our products, solutions, and go-to-market strategy.
• Travel as needed to develop relationships, meet customers, and close new business.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a proven hunter personality that is energized through actively engaging and meeting new people-not simply someone who has worked in sales.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• 5+ years of successful B2B sales experience, including business development, national account management, and strategic sales within CPG, retail, brokerage, merchandising, distribution, retail services, technology, data/analytics, or a closely related industry.
• A demonstrated history of generating new business and exceeding revenue targets.
• A strong understanding of how CPG brands and retailers operate and the challenges involved in winning and growing sales in today's retail environment.
• Experience selling complex, consultative, technology-enabled, data-driven, or solution-oriented offerings.
• A demonstrated ability to create opportunities rather than waiting for inbound leads.
• Strong prospecting, discovery, presentation, negotiation, and closing skills.
• Executive presence and the ability to build credibility with senior decision-makers.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
• A highly organized and disciplined approach to pipeline management and forecasting.
• A competitive, persistent, and results-oriented approach.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience.

Compensation & Benefits

• Fully remote position open to qualified candidates throughout the United States.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Life, accident, and disability insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Opportunity for total annual compensation of $150,000-$200,000+, based on experience, geography, qualifications, and performance.
