Greenman Alliance/Chicago, IL (Also Milw, Mpls)

Our client is a privately held decorative/gift packaging accessory manufacturer and distributor, one that presently finds itself in a unique situation. The decorative marketplace has been turned upside down by the recent economy and many of the weaker players did not survive. Our client's competitive advantage in this climate is that they are smaller and nimble as well as being green via its eco-friendly product. All of the materials used in the production process are biodegradable, organic/responsibly grown and non toxic, in an industry dominated by petroleum based products.

We are looking to speak with individuals who have extensive sales and strategy experience in the home décor, import and/or retail industries. You will be challenged to revive sales to levels which were recently over $1M and assume leadership and ownership in the organization in time. The facility in its current state can run at a capacity of $3M. This is truly an opportunity to invest sweat equity in a company as you help craft its organic growth.

The company is located in the upper Midwest but does business globally. They really need an innovative businessperson who loves wearing their sales hat. There are many sales channels this company has yet to tap into – large retail accounts, internet sales, B2B distributor sales, etc… That is your job, to build the revenue of the company and assume ownership. The company has a healthy line of credit, owes no debt on equipment, leases or to vendors – it's a healthy cash flow business. You may be required to commit capital to an entrepreneurial venture of this nature.
