Job Description

Join a collaborative sales team at one of the largest signage distributors in North America and help grow our Minneapolis market. You'll be the go-to person helping cities, contractors, and businesses get the essential products they need to operate.

This is a sales role focused on phone-based relationship building with some in-person meetings, all team-oriented. You'll work alongside teammates who share goals and wins together, with a mix of inside selling, customer visits, and consultative problem-solving.

Responsibilities

• Building and maintaining customer relationships through calls, visits, and consultative selling
• Prospecting and developing new accounts while growing existing ones
• Collaborating with your team on shared sales goals - this is a team-based environment, not a sink or swim set-up
• Conducting on-site visits and product demos when it makes sense for the customer
• Learning a product portfolio that customers genuinely depend on

Qualifications

• 1-5 years in sales, customer service, or a related customer-facing role
• Someone who builds rapport quickly and isn't afraid to pick up the phone
• A self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, team‑selling environment
• Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle for customer visits (mileage reimbursement provided)

Benefits

• Base salary + commission – you're not surviving on commission alone
• Full benefits – medical, dental, vision (premiums haven't increased in 16+ years)
• 401K with profit sharing – 6% of total compensation
• Paid training program – take a trip to our St. Louis HQ – product knowledge, systems, sales strategy, the works – travel expenses covered by us
• Paid parental leave, holidays, PTO rollover, and volunteer time off

Training & Development

• Opportunity to attend Grimco’s Training & Development Sales Orientation in Saint Louis, Missouri
• Focused training time consisting of a mix of one‑on‑one training, virtual training, and shadowing
• Training focuses on Grimco’s products, computer systems, phones/customers, sales/service, purchasing, logistics, web store, marketing, safety, accounting, human resources, and reports
• Split between breakout sessions and hands‑on learning environment
• Rotation within departments for a diverse look at how employees approach tasks and achieve goals
• Full‑time salary includes training period. Travel accommodations and expenses are provided per Grimco National Travel Policy. Training location determined by corporate/regional training team schedule
