About the role

- Getting there is the work. Outbound prospecting via phone, email, and LinkedIn every single day.
- Qualifying leads and identifying businesses with real shipping needs.

- Following up. A lot. Most deals start with the fifth or sixth touchpoint, not the first.
- Learning the BlueShip platform and how to position freight technology as a solution.
- Hitting daily and weekly activity targets. Volume matters here.
Who This Role Is Built For
There is a specific profile that succeeds in this job. It is not about credentials or logistics knowledge. It is about how you are wired. You are competitive. You just genuinely want to be at the top of the board. Rejection does not derail you. You hear no, reset, and move on. Same day. You are coachable. You take feedback and use it. You do not defend your habits when something is not working. You communicate clearly. You can get to the point fast and make a stranger want to keep talking. You want to be in the building. This is an in-office role. The energy, the competition, the coaching. That is part of what makes it work.
