A Career Path to Outside Sales

At Preston Feather, we believe great careers are built through strong relationships, continuous learning, and opportunities to grow. As a trusted building materials partner serving Northern Michigan for more than 110 years, we've built our reputation on exceptional service, industry expertise, and the people behind it.

We're looking for a motivated individual to join our Window & Door team as an Inside Sales Representative. This position offers hands-on experience, professional development, and the opportunity to build a long-term career with Preston Feather.

This role is designed to develop future Outside Sales Representatives, with the expectation that the successful candidate will transition into Outside Sales as their product knowledge, sales experience, and customer relationships develop. Along the way, you'll work alongside experienced professionals, gaining the skills and confidence to succeed.

You'll work alongside experienced sales professionals, helping homeowners and professional builders bring their projects to life while learning the business from the inside out.

• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities.

• A willingness to learn, ask questions, and develop new skills.

• Self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable taking initiative.

• A team-oriented approach and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service.

Experience in sales, construction, or building materials is helpful, but not required. We value character, initiative, and a willingness to learn just as much as industry experience.

• Work-Life Balance: Monday–Friday schedule.

• Competitive Compensation: Competitive pay, annual profit sharing, and 401(k) matching.

• Professional Development: Product training, mentorship, and opportunities for career advancement.

• Great Benefits: Health insurance, paid time off, employee discounts, and more.
