Vice President of Sales

We have been retained to conduct a search for a Vice President of Sales. Our client is a leading provider of online flagship stores to the branded fashion apparel/accessories, entertainment, and specialty retail industries. Powered by a proprietary open architecture and best-of-breed technologies, the company offers comprehensive ecommerce services tailored to the specific needs of brands in all fashion categories. Services and solutions include supply and demand chain solutions and management, SEO, content management, e-marketing solutions, business intelligence, crm, order management, and fulfillment.

Although the company has been extremely successful (revenues exceed $50 million), the CEO understands that in order for the company’s growth to truly explode “all we need is a proven sales pro to run the team”. This comes from an individual who was a finalist for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year award. He has learned an appreciation of what it really takes to sell, both from an intangible (heart, refuse-to-lose, make your number at any cost) and a functional standpoint. Now he wants to find someone to actually do it. He also has an appreciation of what it takes to motivate someone to accept this challenge and is offering an extremely lucrative compensation plan that includes a 2% equity stake. There is also the opportunity to build your own sales team, as he presently has only one salesperson left from a team that he has committed to upgrade dramatically.

The ideal candidate is someone who has proven themselves as a successful salesperson and leader in a quality software sales organization. They must possess, and have demonstrated a clear understanding of the sales process, have the vision to formulate a successful growth strategy and the ability to execute a results-driven tactical plan. Being based in the NY area is a plus.
