Travel: Heavy travel required (up to 80%)
About the Role:
Our client is looking for a strong, relationship-first District Sales Manager to lead growth across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. This is more than a sales job—it’s a field-based leadership role focused on building dealer partnerships, increasing market share, and aligning sales strategy with long-term growth goals. You’ll be the key connection between the brand and the field, driving performance through trust, consistency, and purpose.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Lead regional growth strategy—own the plan, the numbers, and the outcomes
-
Partner directly with dealers to drive revenue, improve margins, and expand brand presence
-
Identify opportunities, remove friction, and build confidence across your territory
-
Align closely with cross-functional teams—sales, marketing, and operations—to ensure your region moves in sync with broader company goals
-
Spend most of your time in the field (4+ days/week) building relationships, delivering value, and staying close to the customer
-
Grow, strengthen, and maintain meaningful client relationships with long-term impact
What You Bring:
-
A proven background in regional or territory sales leadership (5+ years)
-
A track record of developing and sustaining strong customer partnerships
-
Experience managing dealer, distribution, or retail channel relationships
-
Previous exposure to luxury brands—especially in appliances or high-end household goods—is highly preferred
-
A strategic mindset—you know how to build and execute a territory plan and adapt as needed
-
Proficiency with CRM systems and Microsoft Office
-
Clear communication, strong follow-through, and a bias for action
-
A bachelor’s degree and strong commercial instincts
-
You must live in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana, with easy access to a major airport
Preferred Industry Experience:
You’ll hit the ground running if you’ve sold into or through the appliance, consumer goods, or B2B equipment sectors—especially with premium, design-driven products
Why It Matters:
Our client values long-term relationships over quick wins. This role is ideal for someone who believes in representing quality, building trust over time, and supporting dealer success as a way to drive their own.
And if you're someone who likes to see your hard work show up in your paycheck?
You'll thrive here. Performance matters—and it pays.
