• Maintain accurate pricing and sales information using the company’s shared drive and Microsoft Office
• Participate in approximately four to six trade shows annually, including occasional weekend and nationwide events
• Collaborate with company leadership and the sales team to protect existing business and drive long-term territory growth
Requirements:
• At least two years of outside sales experience within the hardware store industry
• Established experience calling on hardware stores, paint stores, lumberyards, or similar retail accounts
• Comfortable spending most workdays traveling between customer locations
• Reliable vehicle and valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Strong relationship-building, communication, and customer service skills

• Annual holiday bonus ranging from $5,000–$20,000 based on company and individual performance
• Two weeks of vacation, flexible sick time, and paid holidays with additional schedule flexibility around select holidays
Join a close-knit, family-run company where employees are trusted to do their jobs, treated with respect, and known to stay for 15–20 years. If you know the hardware industry, enjoy building relationships, and want an established territory you can grow for the long term, apply today!
