Job Description
Desired candidate has had at least five years experience in pigment sales and marketing in a professional business environment. This person has probably worked for a very large pigment company and seen how to do things professionally. However, this person wants to spread his/her wings and make things happen. This person would rather sell a pallet of specialty pigment over a truckload of white. We're seeking hunters, not farmers. No bureaucracy or clock watching here, just doing whatever it takes to make our customers love us, while balancing being extremely financially disciplined. Extensive use of technology to automate sales process is expected. Travel is anticipated at 30-50% and the position can be based anywhere in the US, preferably near customer base. This is a significant growth opportunity for the right individual.
