We’re Looking for a Sales Leader Who Can Sell and Lead

Gill Staffing is a Michigan-based staffing agency with over 30 years of success in light industrial, warehousing, and administrative staffing. Known for our integrity, community focus, and long-standing client partnerships, we deliver timely, high-quality workforce solutions that keep Michigan businesses moving forward.

We’re seeking a Director of Sales—a hands-on business development leader who thrives in both driving new business and guiding strategic growth. This is a dual-role opportunity for someone who enjoys being in the field, building relationships, and mentoring others while helping shape our statewide sales strategy.

The primary focus is West Michigan, but this role may support growth opportunities across other regions of the state.

We operate in a competitive, fast-paced industry where energy, persistence, and grit fuel long-term success—and we’re looking for someone who thrives in that environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Proactively drive new business through a combination of cold calls, prospecting visits, sales meetings, email outreach, social media, and networking
• Develop and strengthen client relationships to increase Gill’s share of business within existing accounts
• Maintain a robust and organized sales pipeline with consistent outreach (goal: 100+ touches per week)
• Collaborate with leadership on market planning, goal setting, and long-term sales strategy
• Leverage CRM systems and other sales technologies (lead generation software, mapping tools, social platforms) to manage leads, track activity, and drive results
• Serve as a mentor and occasional coach to sales team members, supporting development and closing efforts
• Stay up to date on industry trends and client challenges to deliver tailored, consultative staffing solutions

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 5 years of successful B2B sales experience, preferably in a service-based industry
• Proven ability to generate leads, close deals, and exceed sales targets
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills
• Experience using CRM platforms and other sales technology software
• Experience in PEO or commercial banking is a strong fit for this consultative, relationship-driven sales role
• Self-driven, organized, and proactive, with the ability to manage territory independently
• Willingness to travel within West Michigan and occasionally throughout the state

Why Join Gill Staffing?

• Trusted Michigan brand with deep community roots and 30+ years of success
• Supportive, values-driven team focused on integrity and relationships
• Competitive base salary + residual commission structure, including assigned established accounts to help you ramp up quickly
• Commissions grow as you add new accounts and expand existing ones, with residuals that build over time and uncapped earning potential
• Mileage reimbursement and comprehensive benefits package
• A dynamic role where you lead, sell, and make a real impact
