Sales & Technology Specialist

Grand Design's Inside Sales team is the primary sales contact between our company and retail customers. They interact - daily - with our prospective end users through phone, email, and in-person. They are a vital link between who we are and who we do it for. As the Sales & Technology Specialist on this team, you will utilize both sales acumen and technology to drive our business forward and meet the needs of today's customers.

Not everyone is cut out for a sales position. It takes drive, grit, and creativity. It means finding a way to reach your goal, even when the path isn't clear. It can be profoundly simple, and yet somehow extremely hard. And if done properly, it will take you farther than you ever thought possible.

We believe you are more important than what you do, but what you do matters. HOW you do it matters even more.

We're re-writing the playbook for a sales position. Never sold anything before? No problem...what do you do so well that sales experience doesn't matter? Do you have an eye for marketing? Training? Computer Science? Data Analysis? Bring us an unusually useful skill set and we'll talk. Have sales experience? Even better...but what sets you apart? We can teach you our product.

We can teach you our industry. We can even teach you how to sell. What we are really interested in is what you can teach us.

This position will require a sharp mind that loves to learn and solve problems, and a desire to serve others - both customers and teammates.

Here's some of what you'll get to do:

• Acquire a thorough product knowledge of the recreational vehicles Grand Design produces
• Learn and use our lead management software for lead and contact management, customer satisfaction scoring, and email campaigns
• Follow up on incoming leads and prospective sales through phone, email, and other channels
• Assist in planning and executing company sales and sales training events

• Travel:
  Attend RV shows across the US and Canada and assist Regional Sales Managers when needed (travel can be up to 50 days per year, as needed)
• Analyze market and sales data
• Identify problems we haven't solved yet - and then take ownership of them
• Bring your own expertise to the role. If your skill set can make us better, then make us better!
• There's more to it - but let's talk about it!

Education, Skills, & Experience Needed:

• High School education; a college degree is welcome, but what you've learned and what you can do with it mean more to us than the credential
• Well-acquainted with Microsoft Office (specifically Excel and Power Point
  - Power BI a plus)
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Polished communication skills - verbal and written
• A heightened sense of self-awareness (although if you don't have it you wouldn't know...)
• An ability to comprehend, interpret, and apply data and reports
• Although not required, if you have experience with web development, coding, automation, or building useful digital tools, we'll put those skills to work
