Inside + Outside Sales | Base Pay + Uncapped Commission | $40,000-$60,000+ Onslow Stoneworks is looking for an experienced salesperson who can sell in both a showroom and out in the field. This is not an order-taking position, and we are not looking for someone who simply waits for customers to walk through the door. We need someone who can sit down with a homeowner and help them bring their kitchen or bathroom project together — and then get in the car, visit a local contractor or builder, and develop that relationship into ongoing business. What You'll Be Doing This is a hybrid inside sales + business development position. In the showroom, you will: Work directly with homeowners on kitchen, bathroom, and countertop projects Help customers coordinate countertop colors and designs with cabinets, flooring, tile, paint, and other finishes Ask the right questions to understand the customer's project, priorities, style, and budget Build quotes and guide customers through our sales process Follow up consistently on open opportunities Handle objections and confidently ask for the sale Manage your customers from initial conversation through approval Outside the showroom, you will: Develop relationships with local builders, remodelers, contractors, cabinet companies, designers, and other trade partners Visit contractor offices, jobsites, showrooms, and potential accounts Prospect for new business instead of relying solely on incoming leads Identify opportunities to earn more of an existing customer's business Follow up with prospective accounts and stay in front of decision-makers Represent Onslow Stoneworks professionally throughout the local building and remodeling community We're Looking for a Salesperson We're specifically looking for someone with real sales experience. The right person understands that selling means more than being friendly and providing good customer service. You need to be comfortable prospecting, following up, overcoming objections, asking for business, and closing. We'd especially like to meet candidates with experience in: Kitchen & bath sales or design Cabinets Countertops Flooring or tile Building materials Remodeling New home construction Interior design with a strong sales background Other consultative or project-based sales Existing relationships within the local builder, contractor, remodeling, design, or real estate community are a major plus. What You Need to Bring Proven sales experience Confidence working face-to-face with both homeowners and business owners Ability and willingness to prospect for new business Strong follow-up habits Ability to manage a pipeline of multiple opportunities Comfort discussing design, color, and overall project vision with homeowners Professional communication and presentation skills Self-motivation — you shouldn't need a manager telling you who to call next Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local sales calls Ability to work independently while still being part of a sales team What We Can Teach You You don't have to walk in knowing every countertop material, edge profile, fabrication detail, or installation requirement. We can teach you stone. What is much harder to teach is the ability to build relationships, create opportunities, follow up consistently, and close business. That's what we need you to bring. Compensation Base pay Uncapped commission Performance bonus opportunities Expected annual compensation: $40,000-$60,000+ Additional earning potential for strong performers This is a sales position. Your income should grow as the business you generate grows. Benefits Health insurance — company pays 50% after 90 days 5 paid holidays 5 days PTO earned throughout the year Paid product and industry training Growth Opportunity We're looking for someone who can eventually become a major sales presence for the location. For the right person, that can include additional responsibility for the showroom, key holder responsibilities, mentoring other salespeople, and helping drive the location's overall sales performance. But first and foremost, we are hiring a salesperson. If you enjoy creating a beautiful space with a homeowner just as much as you enjoy walking into a contractor's office and asking for their business, we'd like to talk to you.
