Packaging Specialist (Hunter / Business Development)

**Position Title:** Packaging Specialist (Hunter / Business Development)

**Location:** High Point, NC (home-office based – must live in or relocate to Greater High Point / Piedmont Triad area) **Territory:** High Point metro + surrounding Piedmont Triad areas, including Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Archdale, Thomasville, Kernersville, and nearby communities (will collaborate closely with one existing rep)

**Company Overview**

Our Client is a national leader in end-of-line packaging solutions, distributing the industry’s most trusted brands in strapping, stretch wrap, tape, marking & coding, automation, and related consumables/equipment. With a rapidly growing multi-million-dollar packaging division, a dedicated national team of packaging specialists, and recent strategic acquisitions (with more in the pipeline), they are in aggressive growth mode.

**The Role – What You’ll Actually Do**

This is a true hunter position focused on new logo acquisition and aggressive wallet-share growth inside existing accounts. You will:

- Prospect daily into manufacturing, distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, furniture/home furnishings, and food/beverage plants throughout the Greater High Point / Piedmont Triad area to include Winston-Salem and Greensboro.

- Own the full sales cycle: cold outreach → needs analysis → site surveys → custom ROI-driven proposals → close → long-term account penetration

- Partner with top-tier vendor reps on joint calls and national-account strategies

- Deliver measurable TCO reduction for customers through equipment, consumables, service, and VMI programs

- Live in the field – face-to-face selling is the expectation (daily local travel + occasional overnight)

**Success Looks Like**

Year 1 goal: achieve 100%+ of forecast (realistic six-figure earnings at plan). Top performers regularly hit 150–200% of quota and earn well into the mid-to-high six figures.

**Compensation & Ramp Support**

- Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)

- Uncapped monthly commission + performance bonus paid on % of forecast achieved (plan attached to active candidates upon request)

- Transition guarantees and/or draw bridges available for proven big hitters – we will make the move make sense

- Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, PTO, expense account, company credit card

- Company-provided demos/samples and professional vehicle allowance expectations

**Who Thrives Here**

Proven hunters who have carried a bag in industrial packaging, end-of-line automation, capital equipment, marking & coding, or related B2B manufacturing solutions. Ideal backgrounds mirror current top reps (ex-reps from leading brands in the space). Must-have traits:

- Relentless prospecting discipline and a “refuse to lose” mindset

- Ability to walk a plant, diagnose packaging pain, and translate it into six- and seven-figure opportunities

- Comfort selling both consumables and $50K–$500K+ equipment projects

- Professional presence – you’re proud to open a trunk full of samples and look sharp doing it

- Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred

- Clean driving record and willingness to be on the road daily

**Non-competes:** We know the industry; we’ve successfully hired around them before and will handle it the right way.

**Why Packaging Pros Are Joining Right Now**

- Explosive growth trajectory – recent acquisitions + organic expansion = bigger territories and faster advancement

- True hunter role with minimal farming distractions

- Leadership that’s been there/done it and still carries a bag

- Collaborative, high-energy culture that celebrates wins and promotes from within

- Substantial resources of a growing national division with the feel of a tight-knit team

If you’re a High Point-area (or relocatable to the Piedmont Triad) packaging sales pro who’s outgrown your current territory or tired of red tape, let’s talk. This is a greenfield opportunity in one of North Carolina’s premier manufacturing and distribution hubs with a company that’s genuinely going places.
