Be Part of the Wausau Team

Our Wausau showroom will serve as your home base. While business development is a key focus of this position, this is not a 100% outside-sales role.

You'll spend time in the field developing business and meeting customers, while also working from the Wausau location to follow up on opportunities, prepare projects, meet customers, learn products, and coordinate with our sales and operations teams.

As part of the Wausau sales team, you'll also help support showroom customers and store coverage.

Flooring experience is helpful, but it isn't required. We can teach flooring. We're looking for someone who already knows how to build relationships and sell.

You'll be a strong fit if you:

• Have previous sales, business development, account management, or relationship-building experience
• Are comfortable prospecting and initiating conversations with people you don't already know
• Enjoy getting out of the office and meeting customers face-to-face
• Are motivated by developing your own opportunities and growing a book of business
• Follow up consistently and understand that successful business development takes persistence
• Can build relationships with everyone from a homeowner or property manager to a contractor or business owner
• Are comfortable balancing outside sales activity with time working from a retail showroom
• Are organized and capable of managing multiple customers and projects at different stages of the sales process
• Communicate professionally and confidently
• Are comfortable using technology to manage customer information, quotes, follow-ups, and sales activity

Experience in B2B sales, outside sales, building materials, construction, property management, restoration, home improvement, real estate, business services, or other relationship-driven sales environments may translate especially well to this position.

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.
