• Sell Solutions: Help businesses understand how Lineage Connect's presort mailing services can reduce postage costs and improve their mailing processes.
• Build Relationships: Meet with business owners, office managers, controllers, and operations professionals to understand their needs and present solutions.
• Close New Accounts: Present savings opportunities, overcome objections, and secure new presort service agreements.
• Manage Your Pipeline: Track sales activities, follow up with prospects, and maintain accurate CRM records.
• Work as a Team: Partner with experienced Business Development Managers on larger sales opportunities and collaborate with operations to ensure successful customer launches.

What We're Looking For
