Description
About Us
LP Seafood & Specialty is a highly respected NYC-based seafood and specialty distribution company, providing exceptional quality products and personalized service to the region’s top restaurants, hotels, and specialty retailers. With a reputation built on care, professionalism, and excellence, we are seeking a high-energy, relationship-driven Sales Representative to join our growing team.
Description
The Sales Representative is responsible for identifying and winning new business, nurturing existing accounts, and representing LPSS with a level of competence, confidence, and care that earns trust and builds lasting partnerships. This is a fast-paced, independent, and highly visible role that requires sharp instincts, resilience, and a genuine passion for food and hospitality.
To ensure long-term success, all new Sales Representatives participate in a hands-on, six-week rotational training program that immerses them in all areas of the business—including purchasing, operations, and customer service. This experience builds deep product fluency, strengthens cross-functional relationships, and provides a comprehensive understanding of how we deliver on our promise of quality and service.
Our ideal candidate is a charismatic self-starter who knows how to build rapport without being pushy, takes initiative without being impulsive, and consistently follows through. You are a relationship-builder, a strategic thinker, and someone who thrives in a dynamic and competitive environment. You love the hustle, but you also love the product—and your customers feel that.
This is a remote/home-based position with daily travel to client sites and one required visit per week to our Bronx office.
Position Summary
The Sales Representative will drive revenue and margin growth by targeting high-potential accounts, delivering exceptional service, and becoming a trusted advisor to customers. This individual will embody our brand and values while contributing to a collaborative, cross-functional sales culture that is built on performance and respect.
