Wholesale Account Manager

Wholesale Account Manager, Wholesale Nursery: Base Salary + Commission on YOUR Book

Creekside Nurseries LLC, Laurel, MD

Work arrangement: Hybrid: part in our Laurel, MD office, part remote

Schedule: Monday–Friday

Type: Full-time

You built the book. You should get paid on it.

In most of the nursery trade, sales reps work for a wage or salary and the accounts they built stay with the house. At Creekside we pay differently. You get a real base salary, plus commission on the gross margin from every new account you bring in and manage.

Your relationships, your effort, your upside.

If you have a working book of landscape and trade accounts in the Mid-Atlantic and want a pay plan that finally rewards it, let's talk.

About Creekside

Creekside Nurseries is a wholesale, trade-only plant nursery in Laurel, Maryland. We supply landscapers, contractors, and garden centers across Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. We don't sell retail.

Our customers are the pros.

What you'll do

• Bring your trade accounts to Creekside and grow them: landscapers, contractors, and garden centers.
• Build quotes and process orders accurately and quickly in our systems.
• Be the go-to contact for your accounts by phone and email: availability, substitutions, pricing, delivery timing, and follow-up.
• Work with our yard and delivery team so orders ship complete and on time.
• Win new trade accounts in our market, then keep them.
• Track your pipeline, quotes, and follow-ups so nothing slips during the spring rush.

What you bring

• A provable, active book of trade accounts in the Mid-Atlantic, ideally around $500K/year in wholesale or landscape nursery sales. Be ready to show it in ways that don't break any agreement with a past employer (see "How to apply").
• 3+ years of trade sales in the nursery, landscape supply, or green industry.
• Strong plant knowledge (trees, shrubs, perennials, B&B and container stock) and fluency in landscaper and contractor language.
• Operational skills: you can turn a plant list into a clean quote, manage order details, and solve problems before the truck leaves.
• Organized and responsive, and comfortable on the phone and email all day in peak season.
• Professional, honest, and focused on the long-term relationship.

Compensation

• Base salary: $45,000–$65,000 per year, depending on your sales history and book of business.
• Plus commission on gross margin from paid invoices on the new accounts you bring in and manage.

Benefits

• Paid time off
• Paid holidays

How to apply

Email [email protected] with your resume and a short note about your book. Please do NOT send customer names, customer lists, pricing, or any confidential information from a current or past employer. At the first step we only want the big picture: approximate annual sales volume (a range is fine), number and types of accounts, the states you cover, and how long you've worked with them.

We'll talk through verification later in the process, in a way that respects your existing agreements.
