This role is designed for a senior‑level sales professional who brings deep industry relationships, consultative selling expertise, and a proven ability to deliver significant revenue results.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and grow new business while expanding relationships with existing customers, with a focus on mid‑to‑long sales cycles and Fortune 1000–level accounts
  • Lead consultative sales conversations centered on book manufacturing solutions, including hard and soft cover production
  • Deliver compelling presentations and manage negotiations through close
  • Accurately estimate and price projects in both transactional and program‑based environments
  • Analyze job profitability and key cost drivers to ensure sustainable margins
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver high‑quality customer solutions
  • May mentor, guide, or lead the work of other sales professionals as needed
  • Travel as required to support customer relationships and business development

What We’re Looking For:

  • Associate’s degree or equivalent experience
  • 10+ years of print sales experience, with strong preference for hard and soft cover book production
  • An existing portfolio of book publisher relationships with the ability to convert $1M+ in revenue within the first year
  • Demonstrated expertise in estimating, pricing, and managing print manufacturing projects
  • Strong financial acumen, including profitability and cost analysis
  • Proven ability to manage complex sales cycles and high‑value accounts
  • Willingness and ability to travel as business needs require

The range listed is just one component of Taylor Corporation’s total compensation and benefits package for employees.
