Sales Manager
Our Company
Delaware Valley Turf is a professional turf management company headquartered in Broomall, PA, with additional locations in Doylestown, King of Prussia, and Newark, DE. We provide high-quality lawncare programs for over 9,000 residential and commercial customers including college campuses, athletic facilities, and residential properties. Our team brings hands-on turf management experience and a practical, field-tested approach, with a focus on consistent results, strong customer service, and supporting long-term careers.
Why This Role Is Different
We believe strong sales performance comes from knowledge, organization, and trust- not high-pressure tactics.

You’ll be part of a small, tight-knit team working directly with company leadership, where communication is direct, expectations are clear, and your impact is visible. Our Account Managers play a key role in both driving new business and maintaining the high level of service our customers expect.

· Honesty – Tell the truth to each other, our customers, and everyone else. We are true to our word.
· Professionalism – Behave and present yourself professionally. Take ownership and responsibility for your actions.
· Knowledge – An informed and educated team is our differentiator. We understand the agronomic principles behind our work.
· Respect – Treat others the way you want to be treated. Bring a positive, can-do attitude every day.
