About Steele Polin

I am a revenue driven Key Account Sales Representative, with progressive responsibilities at Empire Distributors. I’m currently serving the Buckhead, GA market, one of the highest volume and most competitive territories in the SouthEast. I began my career managing a development route, building a foundation in account management, retail execution, and relationship driven selling. Through consistent performance and growth, I earned the opportunity to oversee larger-volume accounts with expanded revenue responsibility. My focus areas include: • Key account strategy and revenue growth • Negotiation and promotional execution • Retail merchandising and shelf optimization • Relationship development with decision-makers • Data informed selling and market analysis I’m passionate about understanding the product, delivering measurable results, and building long term partnerships that drive mutual growth.
