Before You Apply – Please Read:
This role is NOT remote, requires daily travel to customer homes, and needs someone who is highly reliable, organized, and comfortable working independently. You MUST HAVE sales experience, a valid driver’s license, and a consistent work history. If you prefer a desk job, high structure, or constant supervision, this role will not be a good fit.
Why This Role Is Different:
This is NOT a high-pressure sales job. You’ll have goals to meet, but success here comes from being organized, conscientious, and genuinely good with people, not from being pushy.
