You bring the sales drive. Sims provides the operational team, carrier network, technology, and resources behind you.

If you want a sales career where your income grows with the business you generate, we'd like to talk.

• 401(k) with 3% company match
• Paid time off
• Professional development assistance
• Onsite gym
• Catered lunch every Friday
• Company events and team outings
• Monday–Friday schedule, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
• On-site position at our Lenexa headquarters

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Your primary focus is simple: generate new business and grow revenue.

You'll:

• Prospect for new customers through outbound calls, email, networking, and other sales activities
• Identify and connect with transportation decision-makers
• Develop relationships with new prospects and turn them into customers
• Learn your prospects' transportation needs and recommend logistics solutions
• Quote and sell transportation services

THIS IS A HUNTER SALES ROLE

We're looking for someone who enjoys creating opportunities rather than waiting for them.

If you enjoy:

• Cold calling and outbound prospecting
• Opening new accounts
• Building your own pipeline
• Starting conversations with decision-makers
• Handling rejection and staying persistent
• Competing against measurable goals
• Winning new business
• Building long-term customer relationships
• Growing your income through your own performance

you'll probably enjoy this role.

If you're looking for an account-management-only position or a job where most of your day is spent servicing existing customers, this probably isn't the right fit.

WHY SELL AT SIMS?

At Sims Global Solutions, you sell. Our teams help execute the freight.

You won't be expected to build your sales career while personally managing every operational detail of every shipment.

You'll work alongside dedicated teams supporting:

• Operations
• Carrier Sales
• Customer Onboarding
• Credit
• Claims
• Billing and other back-office functions

That means you can spend more of your day doing what you're hired to do: prospecting, building relationships, and winning

business.

YOUR SALES TOOLKIT

You aren't walking into this job empty-handed.

You'll have access to technology, transportation solutions, carrier capacity, and internal resources designed to help you prospect and close business, including:

• HubSpot CRM
• ZoomInfo
• Modern transportation management system (TMS)
• Access to our vetted carrier network
• Truckload and LTL transportation solutions
• Expedited transportation
• Intermodal
• Drayage
• Warehousing and fulfillment
• Heavy haul and open deck capabilities
• Customer shipment visibility and tracking tools
• Marketing and sales resources

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, starting conversations, handling rejection, and consistently creating new opportunities.

You'll be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience in sales, business development, freight, logistics, transportation, or a related field
• Have a proven ability to prospect and develop new business
• Are comfortable making outbound calls and conducting sales outreach
• Are competitive and motivated by measurable goals
• Have strong communication and presentation skills
• Build relationships naturally and professionally
• Are organized and able to manage a sales pipeline
• Are self-motivated and persistent
• Want a career where your income can grow with your performance

Freight brokerage, transportation, logistics, or 3PL sales experience is a plus, but not required for the right sales professional.
