Account Manager - Sales & Service

Mentor, OH
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Benefits:

    No Nights

    Training and professional development from industry leaders

    Locally Owned

    Flexibility

    Outstanding earning potential

    We’re a new local franchise helping commercial kitchens keep walk-ins, reach-ins, and freezers sealed and running. This role is primarily about building the customer base. You’ll prospect restaurants, grocers, and other foodservice operators in Northeast Ohio, turn conversations into orders, and often complete the work yourself. Existing-account inspections and add-on sales are part of the job, but the priority is finding and closing new accounts. Commissions are uncapped.

    What you’ll do

    Prospect and qualify commercial kitchens in the assigned territory (restaurants, grocery, institutional, and similar)

    Generate leads through cold outreach, in-person visits, referrals, and local networking

    Present gasket replacement, door sweeps, strip curtains, and related kitchen services

    Build a pipeline, follow up consistently, and close business

    Perform quarterly inspections and identify add-on work as the existing book grows

    Install refrigeration gaskets and related products on site (most jobs are restaurant kitchens)

    Coordinate with the owner on scheduling, materials, and larger or follow-on work

    Keep clean records of activity, quotes, and jobs

    Hit sales targets

    What we’re looking for

    B2B sales or business-development experience, ideally in a service or trade-adjacent field

    Comfortable knocking on doors, making calls, and talking with kitchen managers and owners

    Self-directed; able to manage your own calendar and pipeline

    Willing and able to do the physical work: gasket installs, basic door/hardware work, time on your feet in kitchens

    Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

    Basic hand tools / handyman capability

    CRM experience is a plus, not required

    Restaurant or commercial kitchen knowledge is a plus

    About us

    The SEALS of Cleveland fabricates and installs commercial refrigeration gaskets and related kitchen products on site. We serve restaurants and other foodservice operators across the Cleveland area. The company is early-stage, so this person will help build the book of business from the ground up—not farm an existing list.
