Job description

About Shade Boys

Shade Boys Smart Blinds (SEOLO Group LLC) manufactures windproof zip-track shading, awnings and pergola structures, plus custom indoor blinds and, under our Shutter Boys brand, plantation shutters. Every unit is built to one specific opening after it is sold, and ships across the United States through Shade Boys Direct Manufacturing: as DIY kits to homeowners and contractors, and wholesale to dealers. Installation is done by licensed installers. We are based in Murrieta, California, and our outdoor product is fabricated in Southern California.

Job summary

We are looking for independent outside sales representatives, based anywhere in the US, to grow our business outside Southern California with homeowners, dealers and contractors, and commercial clients. You sell both of our brands: Shade Boys windproof outdoor shades, awnings and pergola systems, and Shutter Boys plantation shutters, plus our custom indoor blinds.

This is a 1099 independent contractor engagement paid entirely on commission. There is no base pay, hourly pay or draw. Independent reps and sales agencies with their own business are welcome.

We contract on results, not hours. You decide when and how you work. What we hold you to is the monthly margin target in your agreement, growth quarter on quarter, and contact with every lead we assign within the time your agreement sets.
