JOB OVERVIEW

Position Overview

This is not virtual “assistant” position.

This is a key leadership role for someone who understands the promotional products industry and wants to help build a rapidly growing company.

Your mission is simple:

Keep the founder’s calendar filled with qualified sales appointments while managing the day-to-day operations that support those opportunities.

The founder’s role is to build relationships, meet with qualified prospects, and close business.

Your role is to generate those opportunities, manage the sales pipeline, and ensure every client project moves smoothly from quote to delivery.

?

Business Development & Sales Responsibilities

Your highest priority is generating qualified business opportunities.

Daily responsibilities include:

* Research companies that match our ideal client profile.
* Identify key decision-makers.
* Build and maintain a clean, organized CRM.
* Conduct personalized LinkedIn outreach and follow-up.
* Qualify prospective clients before scheduling appointments.
* Coordinate directly with the founder’s calendar and schedule qualified meetings during approved availability.
* Prepare a meeting brief before every appointment, including company research, key contacts, and recommended merchandise ideas.
* Track every prospect from first contact through closed business.

?

Promotional Products Operations

* Source products using SAGE, ASI, PPAI, and trusted supplier networks.
* Request and compare supplier quotations.
* Prepare client quotations and proposal drafts.
* Coordinate virtual mockups and artwork approvals.
* Submit purchase orders.
* Track production schedules.
* Coordinate shipping and delivery.
* Maintain proactive communication with suppliers and clients throughout every project.

?

Administration & AI

* Organize project files and documentation.
* Maintain CRM accuracy.
* Improve internal workflows and systems.
* Use AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to:
* Research prospective clients.
* Draft personalized outreach.
* Prepare proposals.
* Create meeting briefs.
* Write client follow-up emails.
* Improve operational efficiency.

?

Required Qualifications

* Minimum 3 years of experience in the promotional products industry.
* Strong working knowledge of SAGE, ASI, PPAI, and promotional products suppliers.
* Experience working for a promotional products distributor.
* Excellent written and spoken English.
* Experience with B2B prospecting and appointment setting.
* Strong CRM management skills.
* Outstanding organizational and project management abilities.
* Comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity.
* Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and take ownership.

?

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means:

* A consistently full calendar of qualified sales meetings for the founder.
* A well-maintained CRM with a growing pipeline of qualified prospects.
* Professional, personalized outreach that generates new business opportunities.
* Accurate proposals and quotes delivered promptly.
* Smooth execution of client projects from sourcing through delivery.
* Exceptional communication with both clients and suppliers.
* Continuous improvement of systems and workflows using AI and automation.

This position is designed to free the founder to focus almost exclusively on building relationships, meeting qualified prospects, and closing new business.

?

Performance & Growth Opportunity

Performance will be measured by results, ownership, initiative, and impact—not simply hours worked.

We are looking for someone who thinks like a business builder, not just a task manager.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) include:

* Qualified meetings booked.
* Growth of the sales pipeline.
* CRM quality and organization.
* Proposal turnaround time.
* Client satisfaction.
* On-time project execution.
* Operational efficiency.
* Contribution to company growth.

?

Compensation

* Competitive full-time salary.
* Performance-based bonus structure.
* Bonus opportunities tied to qualified meetings, new client acquisition, revenue generated from accounts you help develop, operational excellence, and achievement of monthly and quarterly goals.
* Opportunity for long-term career growth as That Merch Girl expands.

We’re looking for someone who wants to help build an exceptional company—not simply fill a position.

?

How to Apply

Please email your résumé and a brief cover letter explaining:

1. Your experience in the promotional products industry.
2. Which platforms you’ve used (SAGE, ASI, PPAI, commonsku, DistributorCentral, etc.).
3. Your experience with B2B prospecting and appointment setting.
4. How you’ve used AI tools such as ChatGPT to improve your work.
5. Why you’re interested in helping build That Merch Girl.
