Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a driven, relationship-oriented Account Manager to help grow new business and develop customer relationships across its specialty manufacturing markets. This fifth-generation, family-owned textile manufacturer producing specialty narrow fabrics for applications across industries including military, firefighter/protective equipment, racing, retail, and sportswear.
This position is designed for a true salesperson who is comfortable actively pursuing opportunities rather than simply managing inbound business. The Account Manager will prospect for new customers, work existing and company-generated leads, understand customer applications and requirements, and connect those needs with the product capabilities.
The ideal candidate will be confident, personable, a strong listener, and consistent with follow-up. Success is less about already knowing the highly specialized textile industry and more about having genuine sales ability, a strong work ethic, curiosity about the product, and the ability to learn technical applications and communicate effectively with customers.
