Working closely with sales and cross-functional partners, you will provide pre- and post-sale support, coordinate customer and distributor activities, maintain accurate sales data and reporting, and help ensure opportunities, orders, and customer needs move efficiently through the organization.

Prepare sales content, dashboards, scorecards, and reporting to support business reviews, share growth, competitive gains, expanded product offerings, and other sales initiatives. Monitor open orders and partner cross-functionally to address late orders, splits, AP/AR issues, customer escalations, and other needs impacting the customer experience. Support distribution partners through quarterly promotional planning, marketing execution, sales reporting, and dealer outreach, including coordination of samples, literature, and merchandising materials. Support national account activities, including bid and quote preparation, tradeshow lead processing and follow-up, COOP claims, item setup, scorecards, and National Sales Meeting preparation.
