About The Position

The Sales Development Representative is Sellmark’s primary starting position for new professional sales representatives and the foundation of the company’s sales career path. This is a proactive sales position, not primarily an order-taking or customer-service position. New representatives begin by learning and demonstrating the fundamentals of professional selling before becoming eligible for larger accounts, customer travel, trade shows, territory assignments, specialized brands, or new business opportunities. Sellmark Corporation develops, markets, and supports innovative brands and products serving outdoor, sporting, professional, commercial, government, and emerging technology markets. Our foundation is in hunting, shooting, outdoor recreation, optics, thermal imaging, illumination, and related technologies. Our future includes expanding into new brands, new product categories, new markets, and new technologies where our capabilities in product development, electronics, imaging, sensing, and innovation can create value. We are looking for people who want to build a career, continually develop their capabilities, take on greater responsibility, earn more through greater performance, and grow with Sellmark as the company enters new markets and technologies.
