- Follow up consistently with prospects and convert opportunities into active customers.
- Develop long term relationships with customers and grow their shipping volume.
- Maintain accurate records of prospects, meetings, quotes, follow ups, and sales activity.
- Work closely with operations and carrier relations to ensure smooth onboarding of new accounts.
- Achieve agreed monthly and quarterly current business targets.
What We Are Looking For
- Previous experience in transportation, logistics, 3PL, freight brokerage, trucking, or supply-chain sales is strongly preferred.

- Comfortable visiting potential customers and developing business in the field.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently.
- Strong understanding of customer service and account development.
- Knowledge of the GTA transportation and logistics market is an asset.
- Experience with Canada/USA cross-border transportation is an asset.
- Valid driver's licence and access to a vehicle for customer visits.
