We are seeking a Traveling Field Sales Representative to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the duties and responsibilities outlined below:
You will visit auto repair shops with a trusted vendor partner that is a well-respected household name, to sell our business analysis, which is best in the industry.
Unlike cold-call jobs, you not only will be given the shops to visit (you don't have to hunt for leads!), but you will also be introduced directly to the potential clients by our industry partner. You will feel great about the product you are selling, which is an excellent value to our clients. When you’re not on the road visiting shops, you will complete follow-up on your visits and make sure your admin is up to date.
Travel:
This position requires substantial week-day travel. Typically that is 3 sales days a week and Monday and Friday are travel days. A typical travel week will involve flying out on Monday from your home base to a city, spending Tuesday through Thursday doing sales calls, and then flying back on Friday. You can expect to travel about 46 weeks a year. Candidates must live within an hour to a major airport, as it will cut down on travel time. On the weeks you are not traveling, you will have the opportunity to engage in further remote training and lead follow-ups to gain additional sales.
The first 4-6 weeks of your employment will involve training from your home office.
Base Pay + Commission
The base pay is $684 / week. Depending on how many sales you make per week, you can expect to make an additional $450 to $2,000 in commissions. We also provide in-house training at a training rate of $1,000 per week.
Essential Traits
The following trails are essential to success on this path:
- At least two years successful track record in B2B (Business to Business) sales.
- Auto repair industry experience is a big plus
- TECH SAVVY: Experience and ability to learn new systems; Excel and PowerPoint a plus.
- Results-driven
- Persuasion skills. This is not a cold-calling sales job, but you must be persuasive to succeed.
- Persistence. The ability to tough it out and see things through if you hit a snag.
- Communication skills: Ability to actively listen as well as to communicate with clients.
- Business savvy: A passion for understanding and helping businesses.
- Collaborative: must work well on a team.
- Highly organized.
- Must be able to talk and type simultaneously, as we confer with our clients via telephone often.
- Must live within 1 hour of a major international airport.
Qalufications
- B2B sales: 2 years (Required)
- Bi-lingual English/Spanish (Preferred)
Schedule / Travel
- Schedule is variable depending on location of client visits.
- You can expect to visit auto shops locally, regionally and nationally, 3 days a week, with Mondays and Fridays typically being travel days. In general, you can expect to travel up to 46 weeks a year at the max, although some of that may be local or regional travel not involving flights. Your travel costs and a per diem will be paid for by the company.
You must have a home office set-up for remote work (reliable, high-speed internet, quiet work environment, updated versions of Windows or Apple iOS, Mac or PC required: iPads or Chromebooks will not work)
We provide extensive training as well. The top qualities we look for are a passion for our business, a desire to professionally consult at DRIVE as a career, persistence, and persuasive skills.
