About the Job

This is a field‑based, relationship‑building role with a product that’s genuinely easy to believe in. You’ll drive a planned route across the southwest suburbs of Minneapolis every day, introducing our repair service and building relationships with the property managers and facility managers who keep calling back for more business once they’ve seen what we can do. No sales experience required — if you bring the right attributes, we’ll train you to excel.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive Pay: $62,000-$92,000 OTE (base salary + commission (uncapped) + bonuses. Your base is guaranteed – commission grows as your accounts do.)
• Time Off: Paid holidays and minimum 10 days of paid time off (+ growth annually).
• Work‑Life Balance: Full‑time, standard business hours — no nights, no weekends. Most of your time is spent in the field; light admin can be done from home or wherever works for you.
• Training & Support: Structured onboarding, national sales training at Surface Experts HQ, weekly 1:1 coaching, and access to a dedicated support center for admin assistance.
• Stipends: car stipend; medical, phone, and clothing stipend provided.
• Autonomy: Manage your own daily schedule and route within your territory.
• Team: Small business owner is involved, available daily, and leads weekly team meetings (breakfast provided!). Birthday lunch on us.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Start your morning at home: plan your route, review your target accounts, prep follow‑up notes from the day before.
• Drive your planned route – typically 12–15 stops across southwest Minneapolis neighborhoods such as St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Edina, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie.
• Walk into apartment communities, maintenance offices, and commercial properties to introduce yourself and build relationships with the people who make repair decisions.
• Deliver a proven introduction and ask questions to better understand the needs and motivations of our customers.
• Follow up with contacts who weren’t available, keep your pipeline moving, and watch early conversations become recurring accounts.
• Log every visit, note, and follow‑up in our software before your day ends.
• Attend a weekly team meeting (breakfast included) to review numbers, share wins, and get coaching.

What We’re Looking For: Attributes Over Experience

• People‑oriented and persistent: You’re comfortable introducing yourself to new people and building rapport quickly. You follow up because you said you would.
• Eager to learn: You’ll be given a proven script and a clear playbook. Your job is to absorb it, deliver it well, keep improving with feedback and coaching and take responsibility for results.
• Curious: Comfortable asking questions and seeks to serve customers by understanding them first.
• Reliable and routine‑driven: This role runs on daily habits — routing, logging visits, sending follow‑ups. The people who succeed here execute the process every single day.
• Detail‑oriented by habit: You log your visits, track your contacts, and treat follow‑up like part of the job — not an afterthought.
• Self‑directed: You manage your own schedule and route. Accountability lives in your daily logs and your results.

Backgrounds That Tend to Transfer Well

• Any people‑facing role where showing up consistently and communicating clearly was the job.
• Retail or customer service — you know how to read a room and handle objections gracefully.
• Hospitality — you’re used to making people feel at ease and building rapport quickly.
• Property management or real estate — you already speak the language of the people we call on.

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle.
• Must be based in or near southwest Twin Cities — daily travel throughout the southwest region.
• Comfortable learning new software — CRM and routing tools provided and trained.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
