Job Description
Company Overview:
For 122 years, GBC has been considered the nation’s largest buyer and wholesaler of fine jewelry surpluses and closeouts with distribution throughout the United States and beyond. At the same time, it maintains a small company atmosphere with a close-knit team of product, sales, and operations professionals. Its office environment is professional, very supportive of the field sales team, as well as friendly and cooperative as reflected in a very low turnover rate. The same holds true for our Sales Representatives, who are independent contractors with an average tenure of sixteen years,
Position Scope/Responsibilities:
Overall responsibility is generating sales throughout Florida and Georgia. Functions include: making appointments and visiting with existing accounts, presenting merchandise, developing and maintaining customer relations, and establishing new accounts.
GBC’s fine jewelry offerings are ever-changing and its entire format is value oriented, with prices being consistently below market. For this reason, every day brings with it new items, new challenges and new opportunities for customers to take advantage of GBC’s “here today, gone tomorrow” urgency. Although there are some special orders or re-orders, the majority of sales are generated on a “delivery” basis. Product is carried to the customers who select and take delivery during the sales call. Travel throughout the two states is consistent and considerable with regular trips to the Boston office and three tradeshows per year.
Compensation:
This is an independent contractor position and earnings are commission-based, with no benefits provided. 1099 expectation is $165 to 220k and more.
Qualifications:
Two years of fine jewelry road sales
Reside in Georgia or Florida
A goal oriented, self-motivated individual who can blend drive with attention-to-detail and a consistent respect for customers and their needs. These qualifications are essential, as the primary job is absent of daily personal contact with supervision.
Given the nature of our business, candidates must pass a thorough credit and security background check.
