Protein Trader Job Description
Ready to join a growing company with an excellent reputation and great earning potential? Eastern Quality Foods has opportunities available for a few dynamic and hard-working individuals. Operating for over seventy years, we have earned a reputation as a trusted protein partner, providing our customers with quality products and excellent service. We are looking for team players who desire to thrive and are passionate about their work.
We are seeking to fill positions immediately and offer a competitive salary plus unlimited commission opportunity, vacation pay, full benefits, 401(k), and profit sharing.
Position Overview
Protein traders are responsible for delivering the product our customers need while providing the service they deserve. The position will require identifying and cultivating new customer relationships, understanding their protein needs, finding and negotiating the purchase and sale of products that meet those needs, and ensuring a timely delivery of the product to the customer.
Keys to Success:
- Be a protein professional. We pride ourselves on knowing the products we sell.
- Connect with people. Your ability to connect with suppliers and customers, build rapport and earn trust is at the heart of what we do.
- Follow up and be transparent. Our continued success depends on happy customers. We follow through and if we can’t, we’re honest about it.
- Embrace Eastern’s core values of Integrity, Collaboration, Drive, Service, and Excellence.
Expectations:
- Travel is valuable. In-person visits with customers and suppliers help solidify relationships and are always a good investment. One trip per quarter (2-3 days) should be the expectation.
- You are a self-starter. Our model is very entrepreneurial. We will teach you our systems and processes, but you must be motivated to do the work necessary to be successful.
Qualifications Necessary
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
- Exposure and experience in the protein industry
- Bachelor’s degree required; sales experience strongly preferred.
