Leather Goods Sales Representative

As a Leather Goods Sales Representative, you sell leather products on a B2B basis — connecting manufacturers or distributors with retailers who sell to consumers. This might include bags, belts, wallets, shoes, or leather accessories. You need to understand both the product quality and the retail business.

Your day involves buyer meetings, product presentations, order management, and account development. You might present a new collection to a department store buyer, then check in with boutique accounts on reorder needs, then follow up on a quote for a retail chain, then attend a trade show to meet new prospects.

If you appreciate leather goods and prefer business relationships to individual consumer sales, this combines both interests. The challenge is the competitive nature of fashion wholesale and the long sales cycles with major retailers. The people who thrive here understand both product quality and retail economics.
