- Strong hunter mentality — proactive, persistent, and results-driven
- Ability to sell value, not just product features
- Excellent communication — clear, concise, and persuasive
- Highly resourceful and able to operate without a heavy structure
- Comfortable with rejection and long sales cycles
Big Plus:
- Experience selling into pet, CPG, or retail distribution
- Existing relationships with retail buyers
