Position Overview

The Territory Sales Manager plays a critical role in growing Turtlebox’s wholesale business.

While you tend to the existing dealer base, you are also responsible for identifying prospective wholesale accounts and converting them into authorized Turtlebox dealers while servicing all existing accounts in the territory. This can be as simple as walking into a new shop, pairing two speakers together and cranking the dial up on Pink Floyd’s “ Money”, then you tell them it’s 100% waterproof and the conversation starts.

You’ll hit the road every week and work your territory by meeting with existing customers, and continuing to prospect new accounts.
