Job description

Outside Sales Representative | Unlimited Commission Potential

Build a business, not just a sales role.

Schaeffer Manufacturing Company (Remote | 1099 Independent Contractor)

Schaeffer Manufacturing is seeking experienced, self-driven professionals who want to build a long-term, repeat-order business—not chase one-time transactions.

With over 185 years of American-made manufacturing excellence, Schaeffer Oil is a trusted leader in premium lubricants and fuel additives that deliver measurable performance, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs for customers across industrial and fleet markets.

This is a business-building opportunity for professionals who value relationship-based selling, account development, and long-term income growth through selling consumable products.

What You Will Sell

• Industrial lubricants and hydraulic oils
• Heavy-duty engine oils and diesel lubricants
• Gear oils and specialty industrial fluids
• High-performance greases
• Fuel additives for diesel and gasoline systems
• Specialty products and aerosols

Role Overview

You will develop and manage accounts across:

• Manufacturing and industrial operations
• Fleet and transportation
• Construction and heavy equipment
• Agriculture and mining
• Food production and equipment maintenance

Your focus will be consultative selling—and we train you how to provide technical solutions and products that improve equipment reliability, extend service intervals, reduce maintenance costs, and create measurable value for customers.

Compensation Structure

• Unlimited commission structure
• Monthly and annual performance bonuses
• Income growth tied to account development and repeat business
• Six-figure income potential for disciplined, consistent builders

Training and Support

• Structured technical and sales training programs
• In-field training and virtual onboarding training
• Access to product specialists and technical advisors
• Ongoing education and professional development
• Marketing tools and sales infrastructure

Why Professionals Choose Schaeffer

• 185+ years of brand credibility
• Premium product portfolio with proven performance differentiation
• Repeat-order, consumable business model
• Long-term account value and income sustainability
• Business ownership model without franchise risk
• Strong corporate support with independent autonomy

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity is well-suited for professionals who value:

• Relationship-based selling
• Business ownership mindset
• Independence with structure

In this role, you operate as an independent business owner, not an employee. You control your schedule, your growth, your income, and your market development. There is no daily management, no micromanagement, and no corporate quotas tied to clocking hours.

What Schaeffer provides

• A proven product line
• A trusted brand
• Technical training
• Corporate infrastructure
• Support teams
• Marketing tools

What you build

• Your book of business
• Your income stream
• Your own schedule
• Your Freedom
