Launch Your Sales Career (No Experience Needed)
Looking to break into sales, marketing, or business development? This is your chance.
Our Professional Sales Development Program is designed for recent grads and early-career talent who want real-world experience, mentorship, and a fast track into high-earning sales roles. As our Field Marketing Associate you will build skills in relationship-building, retail marketing, and customer experience—while working directly with one of the largest home improvement retailers in the U.S.
If you’re energetic, people-focused, and motivated by growth, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
You’ll act as the face of our brand inside partner retail stores, helping generate leads, support events, and build relationships.
In-Store (About 60%)
- Connect with store associates and help them understand our services
- Run in-store events (think pop-ups, demo tables, mobile showroom events)
- Keep displays and marketing materials organized and on-brand
- Promote seasonal offers and create excitement with customers
- Build relationships with store leadership and team members
Office / Remote Work (About 40%)
- Follow up on customer leads and support the sales pipeline
- Track performance and submit weekly reports
- Help schedule events and plan store visits
- Learn and apply sales processes and best practices
- Collaborate with your team and managers for coaching and development
How You’ll Grow (KPIs That Matter)
Don’t worry, you’ll be trained on all of this. These metrics help guide your growth:
- Generating customer leads (goal: ~1 per store/week)
- Fast response time to customer inquiries
- Turning leads into appointments and proposals
- Supporting strong customer experience scores (90%+)
What We’re Looking For
- Recent grad or early-career professional (0–2 years experience)
- Strong communication and people skills
- Comfortable talking to new people daily
- Organized, proactive, and coachable
- Interest in sales, marketing, or business development
- Willingness to travel locally between store locations
What You’ll Get
- Structured sales training program (we teach you everything)
- Hands-on experience with real customers and real results
- Mentorship from experienced sales leaders
- Clear path to promotion into higher-level sales roles
- Competitive base salary + performance-based bonuses
- Resume-building experience with a national retail partner
Your First Few Weeks
We’ll set you up for success with on-boarding that includes:
- Training on our retail partnership and sales process
- Shadowing live in-store events
- Learning how to engage customers and generate leads
- Getting familiar with tools, systems, and marketing materials
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t a desk job where you’re stuck doing busywork. You’ll be:
- Meeting people every day
- Building real business skills
- Making a measurable impact
- Setting yourself up for a high-growth sales career
