Job Description

You may think you know Staples, but did you know that we are more than just the retail stores?  Our Staples Business Advantage sales team works with business customers of all sizes by offering consultative solutions and innovative ideas to help them grow and thrive!

If you are looking for a sales role with uncapped commission (top performers make six-figures!), car allowance, flexible work environment and to be a part of a collaborative, winning team, let’s talk!

What you’ll be doing: 

This position offers comprehensive, new hire training and an accelerated path to success!  You will start as a B2B Sales Associate, where you will participate in instructor-led and on-the-job training for two months.  You will then use your newly acquired skills to work within a defined territory to prospect for and set your own appointments with potential business customers, develop new accounts, and further expand our customer base.  After several successful months as B2B Sales Associate, you will be on your way to your first promotion with Staples!

As you transition from a B2B Sales Associate to a B2B Sales Consultant, you will continue to prospect potential customers, working with a team of sales support and product category experts to ensure all customer needs are met.  Success will be measured (and uncapped commissions paid!) for the attainment of weekly sales activity and quota goals, including metrics for phone calls, emails, meetings, wins, and sales quota.  In the B2B Sales Consultant role, you may be working with internal and external customers virtually, in person or both, depending upon the current environment of your market. 

After a successful first year in role, you will have the opportunity to participate in additional career development programs that will offer exposure and growth opportunities to prepare you for advanced selling or leadership positions within Staples!
