Overview:
Do you love talking to fellow boaters and turning their boat improvement dreams into reality? Are you a natural closer who gets excited about custom projects and creative problem-solving? If so, we want you on our sales team!

We’re seeking a Sales Associate who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is motivated by commission-based earning potential. Your primary focus will be selling unique and often custom boating accessories and upgrades—think custom dash panels, tackle storage units, and more. We've created a dedicated customer service team to handle service calls, tracking questions, and warranty issues—so you can focus entirely on building relationships and closing sales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage directly with boating enthusiasts and customers to understand their project goals and recommend the right solutions.
• Proactively manage and close sales opportunities, including both standard products and custom projects.
• Collaborate with internal engineering and production teams to ensure project feasibility and timely execution.
• Translate customer needs into actionable quotes and proposals while clearly communicating value.
• Follow up on leads, quotes, and inbound inquiries to maximize your sales pipeline.
• Continuously improve product knowledge to confidently address technical questions and objections.
• Own the customer relationship from first interaction through order placement, acting as their trusted advisor.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven sales ability and passion for helping customers find the right solutions
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (phone, email, and in person)
• Interest in or experience with boats and boating accessories is strongly preferred
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, especially with custom projects
• Ability to understand basic technical drawings and dimensions (engineering mindset a plus)
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
