Job description

Tropical Plants Sales Representative - Seattle/Tacoma & Peninsula

If you're energized by building relationships, thrive on turning trust into sales, and take pride in growing strong partnerships—you will be exactly who we're looking for.

You’ll spend most of your week face-to-face with customers-garden centers, retailers, and wholesale partners-building the kind of trust that turns a single order into a lasting partnership. The ideal candidate brings a strong sales background, genuine enthusiasm for plants, and the relationship-building instincts to grow business in a fast-moving environment.

You're a match for this role if you are:

• Relationship-first. You build trust and rapport quickly, and you know face-to-face connection is what turns a first order into a long-term partnership.
• Self-directed and organized. You manage your own schedule, territory, and priorities without needing someone looking over your shoulder.
• Growth-mindful. You’re motivated by results and love watching your hard work translate into bigger wins for you and the company.
• Experienced in sales. You know how to read a customer, close a deal, and keep the relationship going long after the sale.

What you'll do:

• Spend 4 days a week in the field, visiting garden centers, retailers, and wholesale customers throughout the Washington territory
• Build and grow relationships with existing accounts while identifying new business opportunities
• Represent Cascade Tropicals' plant quality and value in every customer interaction
• Work out of the Snohomish greenhouse once a week to stay connected with the product and production team
• Partner with our buying and production teams to keep customers stocked with the right plants at the right time

Ideal background:

• Experience in retail or wholesale sales
• Knowledge of the houseplant or horticultural industry a plus
• Established customer relationships within the territory a plus
• Excellent interpersonal and written/ verbal communication skills
• Comfortable with regular local travel; valid driver's license required

Why Cascade Tropicals?

We're a respected, long-standing company with a culture focused on continuous improvement, personal growth, and a deep love for plants. You'll join a collaborative, high-performing team that values integrity, flexibility, and taking pride in our work.

• Competitive base salary + performance incentives
• Company vehicle for customer visits
• Healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision) and paid time off

If you're ready to grow your career in a dynamic, plant-loving company-we'd love to meet you.
