Build Relationships. Create Revenue. Grow With Us.eNetwork Supply is growing, and we're looking for a driven, relationship-focused Sales Account Executive to join our team in Skokie, IL.We help telecommunications, cable, IT, and data center companies source the technology hardware they need—often when they need it most. Our customers include major organizations such as AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cox Communications, and Lumen, along with hundreds of other telecom and technology companies. This isn't a traditional "sit back and wait for leads" sales position. You'll be responsible for building relationships, developing your territory, identifying opportunities, and generating revenue through outbound sales. You'll have the tools, technology, industry expertise, and support of experienced sales leaders behind you. Why Join eNetwork Supply? Uncapped earning potential: Competitive base salary plus commission. Build your own book of business: You'll receive an assigned territory and the opportunity to develop long-term customer relationships. Real ownership: You're not just managing accounts—you'll have the opportunity to grow revenue and develop new business. Industry expertise around you: Our leadership team brings decades of experience in telecom and technology sales and will work directly with you during your ramp-up. Entrepreneurial environment: We're a growing company where your contributions are visible and meaningful. Strong customer base: Work with established telecom, cable, IT, and data center organizations. Sales resources: You'll have access to tools such as Salesforce, LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and established industry resources. Industry networking: Attend telecommunications association events and conferences where you can meet customers and build relationships face-to-face. Opportunity to grow: As your book of business develops, there may be opportunities to mentor junior sales professionals and take on additional responsibility.

What You'll Do:

Manage and grow relationships with customers across an assigned territory.
Prospect for new business through outbound calls, email, LinkedIn, networking, and industry events.
Identify customer needs and recommend technology hardware solutions.
Develop trusted-advisor relationships with customers rather than simply selling products.
Generate new opportunities through account development, upselling, and cross-selling.
Manage the sales process from initial conversation through transaction.
Maintain accurate customer and opportunity information in Salesforce.
Monitor industry trends, market conditions, competitors, and customer demand.
Collaborate with warehouse, procurement, accounting, marketing, and other sales team members.
Attend relevant industry conferences and association events to build relationships and generate opportunities.
Forecast sales activity and work toward revenue objectives.
Who We're Looking ForExperienced telecom or technology sales professionals are encouraged to apply, but we're also interested in ambitious salespeople who may be newer to the industry and have demonstrated the right mindset, communication skills, work ethic, and hunger to succeed.
You may be a strong fit if you:
Have experience in B2B sales, account management, business development, technology sales, or a related field.
Enjoy outbound prospecting and are comfortable picking up the phone and creating your own opportunities.
Know how to build genuine, long-term business relationships.
Are comfortable communicating with customers by phone, email, LinkedIn, and in person.
Are motivated by measurable results and earning potential.
Are persistent and comfortable hearing "no."Take ownership of your territory and results.
Are organized and comfortable managing multiple accounts and opportunities.
Can learn a technical product portfolio and understand customer needs.
Have strong interpersonal and presentation skills.
Have experience with CRM systems; Salesforce experience is a plus.
Have a bachelor's degree or comparable relevant experience.
Telecommunications, IT, data center, cable, networking, fiber, or technology sales experience is a plus—but it is not the only background we'll consider.
The Person Who Succeeds HereWe're looking for someone who is hungry, curious, personable, persistent, and willing to put themselves out there.
You don't need to know every telecom product on day one. Our team can teach the technology.
What we can't teach is the desire to build relationships, make the call, follow up, learn the business, and keep going when the first answer is "no."If you're the type of salesperson who wants to build something rather than simply inherit a book of business, we'd like to meet you.

What We Offer:

$55,000–$75,000 base salary depending on relevant experience
Commission with earning potential based on performance
Health insurance
Dental insurance
Vision insurance
Life insurance 401(k) with discretionary company matching
Paid time off
Professional development and hands-on training
Collaborative, entrepreneurial work environment

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
