Position Summary 

The National Account Sales Manager – Polycor / Indiana Limestone develops, manages, and grows the company’s largest national and strategic regional accounts across the hardscape, masonry, landscape supply, and outdoor-living channels. This role owns executive-level relationships, account strategy, commercial programs, and new-business development while translating corporate agreements into consistent regional and local execution through Polycor’s field sales organization. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Own account strategy: Build annual and multi-year plans with sales, volume, margin, product, penetration, and growth objectives. 

• Lead executive relationships: Engage C-suite, purchasing, merchandising, category, and operations leaders; conduct strategic reviews and position Polycor as a preferred supplier. 

• Drive field execution: Convert national agreements into clear regional and branch-level priorities, messaging, pricing, merchandising, and sales actions. 

• Develop new business: Prioritize national and large regional prospects, map decision makers, build value propositions, and manage opportunities from first contact through launch and expansion. 

• Expand categories and products: Identify opportunities for new products, assortments, displays, stocking programs, private programs, and broader geographic distribution. 

• Manage commercial performance: Lead pricing, volume, rebate, profitability, and annual agreement discussions while supporting margin and supply-chain objectives. 

• Coordinate internally: Align field sales, customer service, operations, supply chain, finance, marketing, and leadership around forecasts, commitments, risks, and issue resolution. 

What Makes This Role Different 

• Corporate: Establish executive alignment, negotiate programs, and define the account strategy. 

• Regional: Translate strategy into regional objectives, assortments, and initiatives. 

• Local: Equip field representatives to drive branch adoption and revenue. The role influences execution without owning every local interaction. 

National Account Prospecting 

• Maintain a prioritized National Account Target List based on revenue potential, footprint, product fit, and strategic value. 

• Map executive and category decision makers and establish a defined outreach cadence. 

• Convert qualified prospects into active opportunities, proposals, and new strategic accounts. 

• Track acquisitions, expansions, and emerging regional distributors that create growth opportunities.
