Many companies have a distribution strategy that’s in-line with their brand perception. The types and number of retail doors where their products are available can be very important. Companies select merchants they can work with and trust to honor warranties, take returns and convey the brand message.
In the brick-and-mortar world, this strategy is fairly simple. Not so with the internet. Besides hyper-discounting, many online merchants post bad images, use terrible product copy or, even worse, sell counterfeit product. Over-distribution, hyper-discounting and bad messaging are brand killers.
MAPP Trap is the protector of the brand! By using proprietary algorithms to monitor Amazon, eBay, Walmart.com, GoogleShopping and more, MAPP Trap uncovers who, what and where products are being sold online. Intelligent analytics helps to show at risk products and sellers and provides time-stamped screenshots of every violation it finds. The company has also developed the most well-respected reseller database in the industry, providing full transparency into exactly who to contact. Furthermore, MAPP Trap's Enforcement Wizard automates the enforcement process saving companies time, money and, most importantly, reputations.
Dear Sales Professional,
Do you have experience with online brand protection policies for products sold on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc. Specifically, do you have any personal experiences with Minimum Advertised Pricing, Authorized Reseller and/or Distributor policies and agreements?
If you have this background then please apply for this job. We are poised for some explosive growth and you can be a part of that.
Please include an answer to the question above in your application!
Ron Solomon, CEO MAPP Trap
POSITION SUMMARY:
MAPP Trap is a company that is passionately dedicated to the protection of brand equity by companies that only value the top line. We understand brand equity because we've created consumer products and know, first hand, how easily the time, creativity and capital put into product development can be undermined in the ecommerce channel.
We are looking for Sales Account Executives who understand the challenges presented by hyper-discounting, uncontrolled distribution and lack of regard for a brand's value in ecommerce. The right candidates for this job have first-hand experience in the vendor/retailer relationship. That could be someone with chops as retailer, a manufacturer, a sales rep, a buyer, a distributor or even a product creator.
Responsible for cultivating leads, demoing software and closing new clients. Salesperson will work closely with the CEO and the Director of Customer Service/Success.
While most of the sales are conducted via online product demos, some travel to conferences, trade shows and prospect locations is required.
WHO WE ARE:
Since its creation in 2012, our brand-protection assistance SAAS has grown into a seven-figure company, with clients ranging in size from small startups to Fortune 500 corporations. We work with hundreds of internationally based vendors and retailers to monitor products online, investigate and identify the merchants selling those products, then assist with policy compliance efforts. We have seen consistent growth in a now widely adopted business practice that MAPP Trap helped to create and support.
