Build Relationships. Create Opportunities. Grow Your Earnings.

Are you a driven sales professional who enjoys meeting new people, developing relationships, and turning opportunities into business?

At Carpet City Flooring Center, we're looking for an ambitious Business Development Representative to help expand our customer base throughout Central Wisconsin.

This isn't a position where you simply wait for customers to walk through the door. We're looking for someone who takes initiative, seeks out new opportunities, and enjoys the challenge of building a successful book of business.

No flooring experience? That's okay. We'll teach you flooring. You bring the sales experience, confidence, and drive to succeed.

On-Target Earnings: $60,000-$90,000+ Annually

Our compensation structure provides the stability of a guaranteed base salary with the opportunity to earn more through upside commissions.

This position combines outside business development with showroom-based sales and account management. Our Wausau location will serve as your home base, with opportunities to get into the community and develop new business.

• Generate new business: Identify and pursue opportunities with builders, contractors, property managers, remodelers, senior living communities, and local businesses.
• Build your network: Develop relationships through phone calls, referrals, networking, community involvement, and in-person meetings.

We're hiring for sales ability and initiative, not flooring knowledge.

• Has previous experience in sales, business development, outside sales, or account management.

• Is comfortable prospecting, making calls, and introducing themselves to new customers.

• Enjoys face-to-face meetings and developing professional relationships.

• Is self-motivated, goal-oriented, and driven by results.

What Success Looks Like

We aren't hiring someone simply to maintain existing business. We're looking for someone who wants to grow it.

A successful person in this role will consistently:

• Create new conversations and sales opportunities.

• Get in front of prospective customers.

• Develop new accounts.

• Build relationships that generate repeat business.

• Maintain consistent follow-up.

• Grow sales within their customer base.

• Become a trusted flooring resource for businesses and professionals throughout the area.

You won't be expected to do it alone. You'll have the support of an established local showroom, experienced flooring professionals, product resources, and an operations team to help turn the business you develop into successful projects.

You bring the ability to develop business. We'll teach you the flooring industry.
