Job Description

The Inventory Liquidation Sales Manager is responsible for converting discontinued Ciao Bella Tile inventory into cash through targeted buyer development, cold outreach, and warehouse-based selling in Torrance, CA. The role can be full-time or part-time but must be physically based in the Torrance, CA area, with base salary plus commission tied to results on discontinued inventory. This position focuses on identifying and building a base of bulk and repeat buyers, then driving quick transactions either via phone/email or on-site visits where buyers review lots and make decisions on the spot. E‑commerce support exists but is secondary to direct selling and relationship-building with high-value buyers.

Key responsibilities include:

Discontinued inventory focus (Ciao Bella)

  • Own liquidation planning and selling for all designated discontinued Ciao Bella Tile inventory, working from lists provided by Operations and Leadership (no responsibility for deciding what is discontinued).
  • Recommend pricing and markdown strategies for discontinued SKUs (by pallet, lot, bundle, or unit) within agreed margin and floor-price guidelines.

Buyer development and outreach

  • Research, build, and maintain a targeted list of liquidation buyers: fabricators, installers, builders, outlet stores, jobsite buyers, and secondary-market dealers able to take larger or recurring lots.
  • Proactively cold call and email prospective buyers, schedule appointments, and conduct consistent follow-up to convert prospects into regular liquidation customers.
  • Develop deeper relationships with key buyers by understanding their preferred products, quantities, price points, and buying cycles, then aligning future discontinued lots to those needs.

Warehouse-based selling and events

  • Plan and execute warehouse-based selling at the Torrance facility, including “yard-sale” style days, pallet sales, or auction-style events to move concentrated volumes of discontinued inventory quickly.
  • Host buyers on-site, walk them through discontinued lots, negotiate within approved guidelines, and close deals efficiently while ensuring proper paperwork and payment handling.

Digital and e‑commerce coordination

  • Collaborate with the existing e‑commerce resource to list select discontinued Ciao Bella Tile lots on appropriate digital platforms, focusing on accuracy and clear value propositions.
  • Use inbound interest from digital channels as a lead source, steering qualified prospects toward larger or repeat-quantity purchases when possible.

Reporting and performance tracking

  • Provide weekly or biweekly updates on discontinued inventory sold under the Ciao Bella brand, revenue and margin generated, and pipeline of active opportunities.
  • Track effectiveness of cold outreach, warehouse-based events, and digital leads, and recommend adjustments to maximize sell-through of discontinued SKUs.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years in inside sales, account management, or inventory-related roles; experience in tile, flooring, building materials, or distribution strongly preferred.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Required Skills

  • Proven success in outbound selling, including cold calling, lead generation, and closing B2B deals.
  • Comfortable working on-site in a warehouse environment and interacting directly with buyers during visits and events.
  • Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage a pipeline, maintain structured buyer and deal data, and run consistent follow-up.
  • Clear and professional communicator who can represent the Ciao Bella Tile brand while still moving volume on discontinued product.
  • Self-directed, persistent, and energized by building a book of liquidation business from discontinued inventory.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience in the building materials industry.

Pay range and compensation package

  • Base salary: Competitive and commensurate with experience in B2B sales and/or inventory-related roles in building materials or similar industries; may be structured appropriately for full-time or part-time employment. Full-time salary range: $50,000 - $70,000
  • Commission: Sales Commission in addition to base salary.

Location: Torrance, CA area – must be regularly on-site at the Torrance warehouse.

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer.
