We're looking for a sales professional who enjoys the best of both worlds. This position combines business development with in-store sales, allowing you to build new relationships in the community while also helping customers in our beautiful showroom. You'll spend part of your week networking and developing new business opportunities and the remainder assisting customers in-store, preparing estimates, and working alongside our experienced sales team.
The ideal candidate enjoys meeting new people, developing business relationships, and helping customers make important purchasing decisions. They are equally comfortable networking in the community, visiting customers, and working in a retail showroom. They are self-motivated, organized, and enjoy building long-term relationships that result in repeat and referral business.
Compensation:
$60,000 - $85,000 hourly
Responsibilities:
Business Development
Build relationships with builders, contractors, designers, property managers, realtors, and commercial accounts.
Prospect new business through networking, referrals, community involvement, cold outreach, and customer visits.

Showroom Sales & Customer Experience
Assist walk-in customers with flooring selections and design recommendations.
Prepare estimates and quotes.
Coordinate with estimators and installation teams.
