Branch Sales Manager

POSITION: Branch Sales Manager

LOCATION: Guelph, ON

MacDonald Search Group is a national permanent placement recruitment firm and we recruit on behalf of hiring organizations across Canada.

Our client is a well-established B2B distributor of industrial products, serving a diverse base of commercial and trade customers across Ontario and they are looking for a Branch Sales Manager to take ownership of their Windsor operation.

This is a hands-on, sales-driven leadership role. While the role includes responsibility for the branch and a small team, the primary focus is on winning business, strengthening customer relationships, and driving profitable growth in and around the Windsor area.

The successful candidate will be someone who is energized by sales, comfortable developing business in the field, capable of leading a team, and has an entrepreneurial spirit to take ownership of a local operation.

This position offers the chance to run a local business while remaining heavily involved in sales. You will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the branch, grow its customer base, develop a team, and directly contribute to its commercial results. This will feel like an opportunity to run your own business without taking on any of the risk! You will also be compensated directly for your efforts in the form of annual profit sharing for the location you manage!

If you're a sales leader who is ready to take on broader general management duties without stepping away from customers and business development, this could be an excellent next step!
