Experienced cannabis lab testing sales and operations associate

VRX Labs

Long Beach, CA

2 years ago

Apply

VRX Labs is a relatively new licensed cannabis testing lab in Southern California. We are one of the few labs in the state that provide the consumer safety testing required by the state of California for legally sold cannabis products and provide potency and terpene profile information to our customers. Located in Long Beach, we have access to market areas from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Santa Barbara.

We are now in need of someone to take the helm of our sales and operations. The person we are looking for will have an understanding of lab equipment and the testing we perform and be able to reach out to potential customers in the cannabis space. We are looking for someone who had experience in cold call sales, willing to make numerous repeated calls and set up meetings with distributors and cultivators in Southern California and attend relevant industry events. In other words, we want someone who is organized, focused on selling, and is not distracted by anything outside the generating sales and dealing with customer issues.

Requirements:

Some background in technical medical / pharmaceutical / laboratory sales.
Ability to build and maintain a CRM of the target customers in Southern California.
No outside distractions. We are a start-up so focus and dedication is a must.
You must have your own reliable transportation, as you will be expected to travel to customer sites for meetings and to close sales.
Pleasant and focused disposition, even in the face of multiple rejections.
You must be willing to keep moving forward.
You may be asked to train on sampling methods to assist our lab team.

What we offer:

Base salary between $50,000 - $60,000, depending on experience and commissions agreed upon;
Commissions ranging from 10% to 15% depending on the base salary and experience you bring;
And untapped opportunity to develop cannabis testing sales in Southern California.

The candidate will be hired on a probationary basis for four months. We are looking for active sales after a week of training in the lab. We expect the successful candidate to develop sales of at least $50,000 per month by the end of their fourth month.

We are interested in interviewing and hiring someone who has the ability to move sales. Like all technical companies, we have great technicians, but we aren’t the best sales people.
