What We’re Looking For

• A relationship-builder - you know how to build instant connections and drive through high-status networks
• A closer - you know how to move conversations toward a confident "yes"
• An eye for design - doesn't have to be formal, but you understand color, light, and balance
• In-home consultative sales experience strongly preferred (flooring, kitchens, solar, closets, etc.)
• Pet friendly- everyone in Chicago has animals, so as long as you are good with animals we are good with you!
• Comfortable driving to multiple appointments per day across the city

• Ongoing personal development and leadership opportunities
• Join an award-winning culture and a team that wins together
