About Spring Creek Quail Farms
Spring Creek Quail Farms is a growing, process-driven sales organization supplying grocery retailers, distributors, and foodservice customers across Canada and the United States.
We have built a strong foundation for growth, including a documented sales playbook, defined customer lifecycle, HubSpot CRM, account coverage model, and EOS operating system.
We are looking for an experienced Sales Manager to lead and develop our sales organization as we continue to grow.
We use AI-assisted tools to help identify and match applicants to our open roles. This may include reviewing resumes and suggesting potential matches. All final hiring decisions are made by humans.
About the Role
The Sales Manager will lead our entire sales team, including Inside Sales Representatives, Sales Executives, and Account Management.
Reporting directly to the CEO/Owner, you will be accountable for the team's sales performance, pipeline, forecasting, development, and execution.

Coaching and developing sales representatives and account managers
Improving sales performance through data, process, and effective coaching
Managing the sales pipeline and forecasting through HubSpot

Hiring, onboarding, developing, and retaining top sales talent
Working closely with the CEO on strategic accounts and sales priorities
Building the next level of sales infrastructure as the company grows

Inside Sales Representatives manage leads from initial contact through qualification in HubSpot. They also close independent retailers and smaller distributors and support store activation when larger chains approve Spring Creek as a supplier.
Sales Executives
Sales Executives manage larger multi-location retail chains and broad-line distributors at the head-office level, taking qualified opportunities through to the first purchase order.
Account Management
Account Management is responsible for retaining and growing key existing accounts through growth plans, promotional calendars, pricing analysis, business reviews, and ongoing relationship management.
The Sales Manager will oversee how these functions work together and ensure there are clear responsibilities and effective handoffs between roles.
