Job description

Job Title: Sales Associate: Custom Clothier

Location: LABEL: SoHo, New York City

Reports to: Sales Manager

LABEL is looking for hunters. Build your own book of business selling custom menswear to executives and entrepreneurs, with a clear path from Associate to Director and earnings that grow as fast as you do. Top reps earn $100K+. You’ll represent an established 14‑year company featured in Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, Inc., Entrepreneur, Fast Company, and People. This is a consultative sales career, not a retail job.

Why you’ll want this role

• Real earning power. 16‑22% uncapped commission. Year one typically ranges $45‑60K, year two $60‑85K, and tenured reps earn $100K+.
• A clear path up. Associate → Sales Executive → Sales Manager → Sales Director, promoted on performance, not tenure.
• A book you own. The clients and relationships you build are yours to grow.
• Real backing. Paid training and certification, the credibility of an established national brand, and a sister tailoring company, Alts, that delivers every order flawlessly.

What you’ll do

• Hunt and build your pipeline. Proactively source your own clients through outreach, referrals, and your network. This is a hunter role: you create the pipeline, with full training and brand support behind you.
• Run consultative appointments. Meet professionals in our SoHo showroom, at their office, or wherever’s convenient, and guide them through a custom wardrobe experience.
• Grow long‑term clients. Turn first orders into repeat business through genuine follow‑up and sharp CRM discipline.
• Deliver flawlessly. Submit accurate orders and lean on our sister company, Alts, whose master tailors average 20+ years of experience, so every garment fits perfectly.

Who you are

• A hunter. You’re driven to find your own clients, chase the deal, and close. You’d rather build your own book than wait for leads, and beating a number gets you going.
• Accountable, you own your results and operate like the business is yours, because your book is.
• Polished and detail‑oriented, in how you present and how you work.
• A natural with people, you build trust quickly and keep it.
• Coachable, you want to grow and you act on feedback.

What we’re looking for

• Recent graduates with internship experience are encouraged to apply.
  • 1‑2 years in sales, client‑facing, or relationship‑driven work is a plus but not required.
• A track record of hitting goals, in sales, school, athletics, or anything you’ve committed to.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

Compensation and Benefits

• Paid training period at $3,500/month while you learn the craft and earn your certification.
• After certification: 16‑22% uncapped progressive commission, with ramp support that steps down as your commissions grow to replace it.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), 50% employee discount, clothing allowance on certification, and a company MacBook.

Why LABEL

An established 14‑year custom clothing brand with the energy of a company still scaling fast, featured in Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, Inc., Entrepreneur, Fast Company, and People. We invest heavily in training, promote from within, and give you the brand and infrastructure to build a real career. If you want to grow as fast as the brand, this is the place.
