Description

Account Executive (Outside Sales) – Rockford/Rochelle/LaSalle, Illinois

Delta Defense, LLC

Sell a Mission You Actually Believe In

At Delta Defense, we don’t sell just another product—we stand for something bigger.

We believe the inalienable right to self-defense is fundamental to freedom.
We believe in personal responsibility , training , and protecting the people we love .
And we exist to serve the millions of responsible American gun owners who take that responsibility seriously.

If that resonates with you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Delta Defense provides Marketing, Operations, and Customer Service for the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA)—an organization dedicated to safeguarding the life, freedom, and finances of responsibly armed Americans.

As an Outside Sales Account Executive , you’ll represent a mission you can stand behind while building real relationships at gun ranges, retailers, and training facilities throughout your territory.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a desk job.
This is not a script-reading sales role.

This is a relationship-driven, face-to-face sales career where credibility matters—especially in front of firearms instructors, range owners, and everyday Americans who care deeply about self-defense and personal freedom.

If you’re a responsible gun owner who enjoys being at the range, talking gear, training, and helping others protect themselves—you’ll have instant rapport and authenticity in this role.

What You’ll Do
  • Build a strong local presence by developing relationships with:
    • Gun ranges
    • Firearms retailers
    • Instructors
    • Small business partners
  • Deliver engaging group presentations that share the USCCA story
  • Educate individuals on training, education, and self-defense liability protection
  • Close USCCA memberships using ethical, consultative sales techniques
  • Own and grow your territory pipeline
  • Deliver an outstanding customer experience every step of the way

Schedule Note: This role requires evenings and weekends , aligned with range classes and retail activity. You’ll have flexibility—but not a traditional 9–5.

Our commitment to you

If you’re selected for this role, you’ll receive the tools, coaching, and support you need to succeed. To set you up for a strong start, you’ll complete a required, paid training program that runs for the first 7 weeks , Monday–Friday from 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Central. Training includes live virtual sessions, self-paced learning, and one week of company-sponsored, in-person classroom training at our headquarters.
