The posting
Start your sales career with a team that will actually train you.
No industrial experience? Perfect - we'll teach you the rest. If you're organized, dependable, and you like helping people solve problems, we'll hand you the product knowledge, the tools, and a clear path to grow. This is a great first step for someone coming out of customer service, retail, food service, a trade, the military, or school who's ready to build a real career.

- You communicate clearly - on the phone, over email, and with teammates
- You take initiative and solve problems instead of waiting to be told
- You're excited to learn technical products (we don't expect you to know them yet)
- High school diploma or equivalent required - college education preferred
Benefits + Perks
- Pay: $20–$25 / hour, based on experience
- Paid, structured training - you won't be thrown in the deep end
- A real path to grow: from entry-level into senior inside sales, and for those who want it, into outside sales and account management
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Generous paid time off
- Life insurance
- The stability of a profitable, family-owned company that's been going strong for nearly 50 years
