Responsibilities:

Help Customers Find the Right Solution
You'll work directly with customers throughout their flooring projects—from their first conversation with us through installation.
Welcome and assist customers in our Marshfield showroom
Learn about each customer's project, needs, style, budget, and timeline
Help customers select flooring products that fit their needs
Prepare and present quotes and proposals
Coordinate measurements, estimates, product selections, and project details
Follow up with customers and open quotes
Manage projects from initial conversation through installation
Build relationships that lead to repeat and referral business
Work with our installation and operations teams to provide a great customer experience
Develop New Sales Opportunities
You won't have to rely solely on customers walking through the door.
We're looking for someone who is comfortable creating opportunities and building relationships within the Marshfield community.
You'll have the opportunity to:
Reach out to prospective customers by phone, email, referrals, and networking
Reconnect with previous customers
Develop relationships with property managers, builders, remodelers, senior living communities, local businesses, and other potential customers
Follow up consistently with leads and open opportunities
Schedule appointments and meet with prospects when appropriate
Ask for referrals and identify additional opportunities with existing customers
Build and maintain your own pipeline of future business
Your showroom is your home base. The majority of your work will take place at our Marshfield location, with occasional customer visits, prospect meetings, networking events, or other business-development activities outside the store.

Qualifications: Bring your sales experience. We'll teach you flooring. You don't need flooring, design, or construction experience to be successful in this position. We're more interested in your ability to communicate, connect with people, follow through, and sell. You may be a great fit if you:

Have previous sales, account management, business development, or customer-facing experience
Enjoy talking with people and building relationships
Are comfortable reaching out to prospective customers
Know that good follow-up can make the difference between a missed opportunity and a sale
Are motivated by goals and the opportunity to grow your income
Can manage multiple customers, quotes, and projects at the same time
Are comfortable using phone, email, and technology throughout the sales process
Take ownership of your customers and results

Sales experience can come from many industries. Retail, automotive, furniture, appliances, home improvement, building materials, construction, real estate, property management, B2B sales, account management, business services, and other relationship-driven sales backgrounds can all translate well to flooring.

What Success Looks Like: Success here is about more than waiting for the next customer to walk into the showroom. Our strongest salespeople build relationships. They follow up. They ask questions. They stay connected with customers. They look for the next opportunity and aren't afraid to ask for the sale. Over time, you'll build a customer base that generates new, repeat, and referral business—and your earning potential grows along with it. New to Flooring? That's Okay. Carpet. Luxury vinyl. Hardwood. Laminate. Tile. You don't need to know it all when you start. We'll provide the product and industry training you need to become confident working with customers and managing flooring projects. You bring the sales skills, initiative, and willingness to learn. We'll teach you the rest.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
