Overview

Entrepreneurial Opportunity with Schaeffer Manufacturing – 185 Years of Proven Performance

If you’re entrepreneurial, self-driven, and ready to run your own business, Schaeffer Manufacturing wants to meet you.

We’re a 185-year-old industry leader in premium lubricants, synthetic oils, greases, and cutting-edge fuel additives—and we’re expanding across the Southwest. This is a unique 1099 opportunity to build a long-term book of business with one of the most respected names in industrial lubrication.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn’t just an outside sales role.

This is your business, backed by a powerhouse brand with decades of repeat customers and unmatched product performance.

What You Get

• 1099 Independent Contractor role — be your own boss
• Uncapped earning potential — your effort determines your income
• Protected territory to build and grow your customer base
• Premium, high-value product line with proven ROI for equipment-heavy industries
• Comprehensive training: online modules, live sessions, and hands-on field onboarding
• Full support team with responsive tech and sales assistance

Who You’ll Sell To

Any operation that runs equipment and depends on uptime, including:

• Agriculture (farmers, ranchers)
• Trucking & fleet operations
• Construction & excavation
• Manufacturing & industrial plants
• Municipalities and maintenance teams
• Racing and performance customers

If it rolls, digs, hauls, cuts, lifts, or runs machinery, they need what Schaeffer offers.

Who Thrives Here

We’re looking for entrepreneurial, business-minded individuals who want independence and long-term growth:

• Tradespeople, technicians, and equipment operators
• Former small business owners
• Experienced sales professionals seeking autonomy
• Highly self-motivated, disciplined, and accountable individuals
• Natural hunters who enjoy building new relationships and closing deals

Compensation

• 100% commission with true uncapped upside
• Monthly and year-end performance bonuses
• The ability to build a recurring, long-term book of business

Many top earners say their only regret is not joining Schaeffer sooner.
