Account Executive - St. Cloud, MN Region at Rapido Talent in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Alexandria, Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Job description

• Build a territory through local credibility, strong presentations, and consistent relationship development across the greater St Cloud market.
• This field-based position combines territory development, partner relationships, group presentations, and consultative membership sales for a fast-growing national organization supporting responsible gun owners through education, training, membership services, and self-defense liability protection.
• The opportunity in this market
• This role needs someone who lives in or is genuinely connected to the St Cloud market. The territory is more rural, and success will come from disciplined prospecting, community presence, and the confidence to present naturally to groups.
• · Create a strong local network in and around St Cloud rather than relying on Twin Cities proximity.
• · Confidently lead group presentations without extensive coaching on public speaking.
• · Generate activity and momentum in a market where persistence and trust matter.
• · You are self-directed, organized, accountable, and comfortable operating with meaningful autonomy.
• · You can hold a room, teach clearly, persuade without pressure, and adapt your message to the audience.
• · You consistently prospect and follow through rather than waiting for opportunities to appear.
• · You value responsible gun ownership, personal responsibility, education, and protecting others, or you are genuinely motivated to learn the community.
• · You are comfortable working evenings and weekends when classes and retail activity take place.

Responsibilities

• · Prospect for new business and build lasting relationships with ranges, firearms retailers, instructors, training partners, and other local business owners.
• · Deliver engaging presentations to groups and individuals, often following concealed-carry or firearms-training classes.
• · Educate prospective members on training, education, membership services, and self-defense liability protection.
• · Use ethical, consultative sales techniques to understand needs, build trust, close the right business, and own the full territory pipeline from outreach through ongoing account care.
• · Partner with marketing and internal support teams to organize events and maximize selling opportunities.
• · Maintain accurate activity, pipeline, sales, and expense information in Salesforce and related systems.

Requirements

• · High school diploma or GED
• · Ability to pass the applicable state Property and Casualty insurance examination; pre-licensing training is provided
• · Ability to pass the required sales presentation assessment at the end of training
• · Ability to travel approximately 70 percent within the territory; most travel allows you to return home the same night
• · Full availability for a five-week paid training program, including required travel to company headquarters in Wisconsin during weeks one and five
• · Basic proficiency with Salesforce, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, presentations, and common business technology
• · Outside sales, field sales, territory development, account management, or small-business partnership experience
• · Experience in medical device, solar, real estate, events, experiential marketing, training, education, or another face-to-face environment
• · Strong public-speaking, teaching, presentation, and closing skills
• · Firearms industry experience, instructor certification, or interest in becoming certified
