WE NEED SOMEONE WHO BRINGS THE ENERGY, ROLLS UP THEIR SLEEVES, AND GETS IT DONE.
Stu's Home Improvement Outlet is one of Dubuque's fastest-growing retail destinations. We specialize in scratch-and-dent appliances, open-box products, furniture, sectionals, mattresses, and home improvement products at a fraction of retail price. We are expanding into new markets and we need a high-energy Sales Manager to help us get there.
We have the traffic, the leads, the inventory, and the financing programs. What we need now is a Sales Manager who increases revenue through one thing — selling.
Not planning. Not meetings. Not reports. Selling.
If you are the kind of leader who walks in every morning ready to attack the day, refuses to let a customer leave without a real attempt, and makes everyone around you perform at a higher level — we want to talk to you this week.

- Close deals personally alongside your team every single day
- Coach salespeople through live customer interactions in real time
- Drive traffic through Facebook Marketplace, social media, and promotional campaigns
- Build and execute a monthly marketing calendar that fills the store
- Run a tight follow-up system where no lead is ever abandoned or forgotten

- Run daily morning huddles with role play, objection handling, and accountability
- Manage every salesperson's lead pipeline daily
- Capture every customer's contact information
- Report daily results to ownership every evening
- Help build the systems and culture needed to expand into new markets

- A systems builder — follow-up cadences, lead logs, and accountability that produce predictable results
- A coach — your team gets better every single week because of you
- Growth minded — excited to help build something beyond one location

STRONG PREFERENCE FOR CANDIDATES FROM
Furniture, appliance, mattress, flooring, or home improvement retail. Car sales and high-volume commission retail backgrounds also considered. No rent-to-own experience.
HOW TO APPLY
We read every application personally. To be considered answer these three questions:
1. Describe a time you walked into an underperforming sales environment and turned it around. What specifically did you do and what were the results?
2. How do you personally drive customer traffic into a store? Give me a specific example of something you did that worked.
3. A customer is heading for the door without buying. What do you do in that exact moment?
Applications without answers to all three questions will not be considered.
We move fast. We are expanding. If you have the energy, the drive, and the track record — apply now.
