There is a commercial market in the Twin Cities that nobody at this company has had time to call. We are handing it to one person. Slab Lab Coatings is hiring its first outside salesperson. Not a seat on a team. The first one. You would take over our residential estimates, which arrive already generated and already paid for, and you would build our commercial business from the ground up. Your accounts, your relationships, your book. Do that well and you run the sales department. We will put those terms in writing when we make you the offer.

WHY NOW INSTEAD OF APRIL

Most coating companies treat winter as the dead season and hire in the spring. We think that is backwards. A lot of commercial budgets expire on December 31, and a lot more refill in January. If you already know facility managers, property managers, or general contractors around the Twin Cities, that is two buying windows inside your first four months, with our entire commercial book uncontested. Commercial interiors get coated year-round. We are not asking you to sell garage floors in a blizzard. We are asking you to go get the work that pays while everyone else waits for spring.

WHAT YOU WOULD EARN

• $52,000-75,000 base, plus commission with no cap
• An ongoing residual on every commercial account you open, so your book compounds year over year instead of resetting every January
• Around $100,000+ your first year, and we will show you exactly what you have to book to get there
• Commission rates that step up as your production climbs
• Higher rates on commercial you bring in yourself, plus a bonus rate on commercial from November through March
• Extra pay during your first six months for every commercial bid you develop, so you earn while the pipeline is still building
• Mileage reimbursed at the IRS rate
• Two weeks paid time off

WHY THIS IS NOT A GAMBLE

We generate 20 to 30 leads a week and we close better than half the estimates we run. Two crews in the field, in business since 2021, and room to grow. The machine works. What it does not have is a rising star to run the sales department.

WHO YOU WOULD BE SELLING FOR

Slab Lab Coatings is a Minnesota-owned concrete coating company based in Otsego. Garage floors, commercial flooring, polishing, and resurfacing across the Twin Cities. We just added a new product and service that is going to be big for the person stepping into this role. Our owner came out of industrial coatings, which is why we can answer the questions most of our competitors cannot. We take no deposit. Customers pay when the job is done. Everything is backed by a 15-year workmanship warranty, and we run commercial-grade equipment on residential jobs. You would not be apologizing for anything you sell.

WHAT YOU WOULD DO

• Run residential estimates across the west and northwest metro. We hand you the leads. You walk the garage, scope the job, present the number, and close. Written estimate out the same day.
• Build commercial across the full Twin Cities. Property managers, facility managers, general contractors, restaurant and food-service operators, light industrial. The target list, the outreach, the site walks, and the bids are yours.
• Follow up on every open estimate. We have a set sequence and it runs every time.
• Hand off clean.

Scope, color, terms, site conditions, photos. Our crews should never be surprised by what you sold.

WHAT PUTS YOU AT THE TOP OF THE LIST

Existing relationships with Twin Cities property managers, facility managers, or general contractors. If you could pick up the phone in week one and ask someone whether they have budget left this year, tell us that in your application. It is worth more to us than anything else here.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• 1-2 years in outside sales with real closing responsibility
• Experience in concrete coatings, industrial coatings, flooring, or a closely related construction or building-products trade. We want someone who already speaks the language.
• Comfortable with both a homeowner in their garage and a facility manager in a conference room
• Valid Minnesota driver's license, clean driving record, and a reliable vehicle
• Able to walk active job sites and assess concrete condition in person Strongly preferred:
• Commercial or B2B selling into property management, facilities, general contractors, or food service
• In-home residential selling experience
• Working knowledge of surface prep, polyurea, polyaspartic, epoxy, urethane cement, or moisture mitigation
• AMPP, SSPC, NACE, or ICRI certification
• OSHA 10 or 30 This is not your fit if you close by discounting, or if you want every appointment handed to you with nothing to build.

WHERE THIS GOES

You are the first sales hire. Build the commercial book and show you can teach what you did, and you run the department: a higher base, an override on every rep reporting to you, and a say in who we hire. We will give you the specific numbers you have to hit, in writing, when we make the offer. We are not going to wave at "room for growth" and hope you do not ask what it means.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

• You would work directly with the owner. No layers, no sales manager between you and a decision.
• Residential territory is the west and northwest metro. Commercial is the full Twin Cities.
• We want someone in the field by mid-late October.
• Strong in sales but newer to coatings?

We will teach you the product. We will not teach you how to sell.
