  • Maintain accurate lead and pipeline data in Salesforce (or other CRM) .

  • Track and report weekly activity (leads generated, meetings set, deals closed).

  • Collaborate with the internal team, reporting directly to the department director, and share customer insights to support growth strategies.

Training and Support

You will receive training on CompostNow’s products and sustainability value proposition , as well as ongoing collaboration with our internal team. You’ll report directly to the department director for alignment and support.

  • Professional, yet approachable, with the ability to adapt to a variety of customer types (from small independent restaurants to larger enterprise accounts).

Requirements

  • Proven experience in sales (any industry, B2B preferred).

  • Experience with CRM tools (Salesforce or equivalent).

  • Ability to prospect and build your own lead lists.

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

  • Confidence in in-person sales conversations (“boots on the ground” mindset).

  • Reliable transportation for customer visits.

  • Self-motivated and results-oriented, with persistence to close deals.

Preferred (bonus points):

  • Experience in the food service, packaging, or sustainability sectors .

  • Familiarity with Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel.
