The ideal candidate has:
- Experience with screen printing, embroidery, decorated apparel, promotional products, or a closely related industry
- An understanding of apparel and common industry vendors
- The ability to prospect and develop new customer relationships
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- The confidence to create new business rather than wait for opportunities to come in
