• Review previous projects, identify current needs, and uncover opportunities to earn their business again.
• Maintain a structured follow-up plan to turn reactivated accounts into repeat customers.

Manage Customer Projects

• Serve as the customer’s primary contact from initial consultation through project completion.
• Gather accurate project specifications, budgets, and deadlines.
• Coordinate estimates, artwork approvals, production, and installation with the internal team.
• Keep customers informed, resolve questions, and follow up after completion to identify future needs.

Maintain an Active Sales Pipeline

• Record customer interactions, opportunities, and next steps in our CRM.
• Organize daily prospecting and follow-up activities.
• Work toward agreed-upon goals for outreach, new accounts, reactivated accounts, and sales revenue.

What We’re Looking For

• Self-motivated, organized, and accountable for sales results.
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and follow-up skills.
• Able to manage multiple customer projects while maintaining consistent prospecting activity.
• Previous business-to-business sales or business development experience preferred.
• Signs, graphics, printing, or related industry experience is a plus.

• Build deeper relationships with existing customers by understanding their business, goals, and ongoing signage needs.
• Schedule regular check-ins to discuss upcoming projects, evaluate previous work, and identify additional ways FASTSIGNS can support their business.
• Develop relationships with additional decision-makers, departments, and locations within each account.
• Proactively recommend relevant signs and graphics solutions.
• Create account growth plans that encourage repeat business and position FASTSIGNS as a trusted, long-term partner.
