We want you!
Are you a go-getter, an expert problem solver, an independent, entrepreneurial spirit who loves building relationships as much as building your book of business? Do you want to join a competitive, energetic, fast-paced, sharp group of colleagues who will help you push yourself and your career to the next level? If so, you might be a fit for the WWEX team!
Who are we?
We are Worldwide Express, a third-party logistics company that outsources for small to medium-sized businesses. We are currently the second largest privately held freight brokerage in the United States, and we have over 70 offices across the country.
So, what does that mean?
We are the liaison between our customers (small to medium-sized businesses that ship their products) and large scale, enterprise level carriers (think the big 18-wheelers you see on the interstate, carrying products from point A to point B). We help our customers get the lowest price on whatever it is that they need to ship by giving them access to our network of carriers. Everybody wins!
What will I be doing?
As an account executive at Worldwide Express, you have the opportunity to:
- Have autonomy over the full sales cycle. You will be prospecting, identifying, and qualifying leads that you generate yourself using our tech stack. You will then set appointments, run those appointments, and close the deal!
- Increase revenue by retaining & expanding current customer services and activating new accounts face-to-face and over the phone
- Optimize customer growth/retention with UPS and Freight through detailed account management functions
- Manage customers and prospects through WWE’s CRM program
- Work collaboratively with your team – grab a buddy and go out into the field, step into a room in the office to make calls together, or sit in on meetings to gain a different perspective into how other salespeople handle objections and close the deal!
- Receive top of the line training, and be paired with one of our Regional Sales Trainers who supports you throughout your entire first year on the job
Why Worldwide Express?
