Job description

Sales Representative — Multiple Openings
Springfield, Jacksonville, Bloomington, IL & Surrounding Areas | Up to $60,000/year

Got the confidence to pick up the phone and turn a cold call into a real opportunity? Express Employment Professionals wants to talk to you. We're looking for driven people who understand that new business rarely walks in the door on its own — it starts with a conversation you initiate.

What You'll Love

• Earning potential up to $60,000/year
• Full control over your day through outbound calling and relationship building
• A role that rewards initiative, not just showing up
• Multiple territories available across Springfield, Jacksonville, Bloomington, and nearby communities

What You'll Do

• Place a steady volume of outbound calls to businesses in your territory
• Reach decision-makers — owners, hiring managers, and other key contacts
• Convert conversations into scheduled appointments
• Research target companies to uncover new prospects
• Build and manage a pipeline that reflects your own effort
• Stay consistent with follow-up to nurture long-term client relationships
• Keep moving forward — persistence is part of the job

What You'll Bring

• Confidence and ease talking to strangers on the phone
• A self-starter mentality — you'd rather generate leads than wait on them
• Solid communication and relationship-building instincts
• Thick skin and steady follow-through, even after rejection
• Sales, cold-calling, or business development background is welcome, though not required. Mindset is everything!
