Sales Account Manager

Red Leaf IT Asset Recovery & Recycling is growing, and we're looking for a motivated, personable, and results-driven Sales Account Manager to join our team.

This is a relationship-focused sales position with a strong emphasis on generating new business, developing existing customer relationships, networking, and identifying opportunities for IT asset recovery, electronics recycling, secure data destruction, and refurbished equipment sales.

The right person will be comfortable picking up the phone, meeting with customers, attending networking events, following up on leads, and developing relationships that turn into long-term business.

You don't have to be an expert in IT asset recovery on day one—we'll teach you our services and industry. What we need is someone who is proactive, confident, organized, persistent, and genuinely enjoys building relationships and winning new business.

What You'll Do - Generate New Business

• Identify and pursue new customers through cold calling, email outreach, networking, referrals, lead lists, and other prospecting efforts.
• Generate incoming IT recycling and asset recovery opportunities.
• Build a consistent pipeline of qualified prospects and opportunities.
• Research businesses and identify organizations that may need IT asset disposition, electronics recycling, data destruction, equipment removal, or refurbished equipment.
• Develop and execute sales strategies to meet and exceed revenue goals.

Build & Maintain Customer Relationships

• Develop strong, long-term relationships with existing customers.
• Regularly follow up with customers to identify additional needs and opportunities.
• Encourage repeat business and expand relationships within existing accounts.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for customers throughout the sales process.
• Provide exceptional customer service and resolve issues quickly and professionally.

Network & Represent Red Leaf

• Attend networking events, trade shows, business meetings, and industry events.
• Build relationships with IT professionals, office managers, facilities managers, procurement teams, technology leaders, and business owners.
• Represent Red Leaf professionally in the St. Louis business community.
• Develop referral and partnership opportunities.

Understand Customer Needs

• Conduct client site visits and assessments to understand equipment, logistics, recycling, and asset recovery needs.
• Work with customers to develop solutions for equipment removal, resale, recycling, data destruction, and asset recovery.
• Prepare quotes, proposals, and presentations.
• Coordinate with the operations team to ensure customers receive a smooth, professional experience from initial contact through completion.

Manage Sales Activity

• Maintain accurate customer and prospect information in the CRM.
• Track leads, opportunities, follow-ups, proposals, and closed business.
• Consistently follow up on open opportunities.
• Monitor sales performance and work toward established goals.
• Stay informed about IT equipment, recycling, IT asset disposition, data security, and industry trends.

What We're Looking For

• Proven sales, business development, or account management experience.
• Experience in IT, electronics recycling, IT asset disposition, technology, or equipment sales is a plus—but not required.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable with cold calling and prospecting.
• Excellent networking and relationship-building abilities.
• Strong follow-up skills and persistence.
• Ability to identify sales opportunities and turn leads into customers.
• Strong negotiation and presentation skills.
• Organized and able to manage multiple accounts and opportunities.
• Comfortable using CRM software and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to work independently while being a strong team player.
• Professional, positive, and customer-focused attitude.
• Willingness to visit customer locations and participate in networking activities.
