Thank you for your interest in this career opportunity.

 

This is an Outside Sales position calling on business and institutions.

 

This is an entry-level position.

 

A salesperson's’ responsibility includes repetitive scheduled sales calls on customers and prospects in the Alexandria. Louisiana area.

 

The products we sell are primarily high repeat items. The majority of our products are disposable items that customers purchase and use on a weekly or monthly basis. Most customer orders are delivered directly to business clients within one day on our fleet of delivery trucks from our Minden, LA. Distribution center.

 

A salesperson's time will be spent opening and developing new customers for our products. There are other competitors similar to us in the area selling to or attempting to sell to the same clients in this area. This is a very competitive career.

 

Normally a new salesperson requires two years to learn and become established in a sales territory in our business if they work very hard at it.

 

Established Sales Reps are compensated fully by commission. We have a training/learning period for new sales reps. During this period we compensate new reps differently from established reps. Reps begin on a salary the first month. The second month, the salary reduces and is replaced by a small commission rate. This process continues until a salesperson is established and is working on full commission.

 

There is training for new reps however largely what needs to be learned is product knowledge that must be self-taught.

 

Established sales reps can possibly make up to or in excess of $300K annually after several years successful experience. This is not guaranteed as it is a fully commission job. Because the compensation rate for salespeople is so high, there is no benefit package available.
