Outside Sales Representative
Schaeffer Manufacturing is looking for an independent sales representative to develop business in their local market.
This is a field sales position. You’ll spend your time calling on businesses that operate trucks, heavy equipment, machinery, and other equipment that needs to stay running. That could mean walking into a trucking company and talking with the fleet manager, stopping by a construction yard, visiting a city shop, or sitting down with a business owner to talk through a maintenance problem.
You’ll sell Schaeffer’s line of lubricants, greases, fuel additives, and specialty products, but this job is really about building a customer base. The reps who do well are the ones who get out in the field, meet people, learn their operations, follow up, and become someone their customers trust.
Who You’ll Call On
There’s a wide range of potential customers, including:
- Trucking and transportation fleets
- Construction and excavation companies
- Municipalities and public works departments
- School and transit bus fleets
- Agriculture and heavy equipment operations
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses and material-handling operations
- Landscaping companies
- Golf courses and equipment shops
Previous experience in these industries can be helpful, but it isn’t required. Sales experience is also helpful, but we’re more interested in finding someone who is comfortable talking to people, willing to prospect, and motivated to build something of their own.
About Schaeffer Manufacturing
Schaeffer Manufacturing has been making lubricants since 1839. We are the oldest lubricant manufacturer in North America and remain a sixth-generation, family-owned and operated company.
Our products include engine oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, industrial lubricants, fuel additives, and specialty maintenance products. We focus on helping customers get more life out of their equipment, reduce downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
Compensation
This is a 1099 independent sales position with uncapped commission.
Your income is based on the business you build. There are also monthly and year-end bonus opportunities available.
This is not a salaried position, and it’s important to understand that going in. We’re looking for people who like the idea of building their own customer base and having their income tied to the business they develop.
Training & Support
You won’t be expected to figure everything out on your own.
New representatives receive online product training, live virtual training, and opportunities to work in the field with experienced Schaeffer representatives. You’ll also have access to ongoing sales and technical support when you need help with a customer, application, or product question.
Who This Role Fits
This could be a good fit if you:
- Like being out in the field instead of sitting behind a desk
- Are comfortable introducing yourself to new people and businesses
- Enjoy building long-term customer relationships
- Are willing to prospect consistently
- Have an interest in trucks, equipment, machinery, agriculture, construction, or industrial operations
- Want the independence of building your own book of business
- Are motivated by commission-based income with no set earnings cap
If that sounds like the kind of opportunity you’re looking for, we’d like to hear from you.
